Web Design Services Agreement

This Agreement is made between the Designer and the Client named below. It sets out what will be built, what it costs, and how we will work together. Please read it, fill in the highlighted parts, and sign at the bottom. Once both parties sign, it is in effect.

1.The Project

The Designer will design and build a website for the Client as described here:

[Briefly describe the project: e.g. a single-page mobile-friendly website for a detailing business with a services list, gallery, contact form, and click-to-call. List the main sections or pages.]

This description is the agreed scope. Anything not listed here is considered extra work and is quoted separately before it begins (see Section 9).

2.What I Need From You

To keep the project on schedule, the Client agrees to provide, in a usable format:

• Business details: name, logo (if any), hours, address, phone, and links.
• Text content and any photos the Client wants used.
• Logins or access for any accounts the project needs (for example, a booking tool or domain).
• Timely feedback. The Client agrees to respond to requests within [5] business days.

If content or feedback is delayed, the timeline below shifts by the same amount. The Designer is not responsible for delays caused by missing materials.

3.Timeline

The Designer estimates the first draft will be ready within [7–14] days of receiving the deposit and all needed content. This is an estimate, not a guarantee, and may change based on scope, revisions, and how quickly materials and feedback are provided.

4.Pricing & Payment

• One-time build fee: $[150] for the project described in Section 1.
• Deposit: 50% of the build fee is due before work begins. The remaining 50% is due before the finished site goes live or files are handed over.
• Hosting & support: $15 per month, billed monthly, which keeps the site online and covers small fixes and minor content updates. This continues until the Client cancels.
• Payment methods: [Stripe link / Square / Zelle / Venmo].
• Late or missed payments: if payment is more than [10] days late, the Designer may pause work and, for hosting, take the site offline until the balance is paid.

The deposit is non-refundable once work has started, because it reserves time and covers work already done.

5.Revisions

The build fee includes [1] round of revisions after the first draft. A "round" means one consolidated set of changes. Additional revisions, or changes after the site is approved, are billed at $[40] per hour or quoted as a flat fee first.

6.Hosting, Domain & Going Offline

Unless agreed otherwise, the Designer hosts the site on the Designer's hosting account as part of the $15/month plan. The Client understands that:

• If the monthly plan is cancelled or payment lapses, the site may be taken offline.
• A custom domain (for example, yourbusiness.com) is paid for and owned by the Client. The Designer can help set it up but does not own it on the Client's behalf unless agreed in writing.
• On request and once all balances are paid, the Designer will provide the final site files so the Client can host them elsewhere.

7.Ownership & Portfolio Rights

Once the project is fully paid, the Client owns the final website design and the content the Client provided. The Designer keeps ownership of any reusable code, components, and tools used to build it, and grants the Client a license to use them as part of the site.

The Designer may display the project (screenshots, a link, and a short description) in a portfolio, on social media, and in case studies, unless the Client asks in writing not to.

8.Third-Party Services

The site may use third-party tools (for example, a contact-form service, booking or payment provider, fonts, or maps). Those services have their own terms and pricing. The Designer is not responsible for outages, changes, price increases, or data handling by those third parties.

9.Changes to Scope

If the Client wants work beyond what is described in Section 1 (new pages, new features, a redesign, extra revisions), the Designer will quote it separately. That new work does not start until the Client approves the quote.

10.Cancellation

Either party may cancel this Agreement in writing. If the Client cancels after work has started, the deposit is kept and the Client pays for any work completed up to that point. Monthly hosting can be cancelled at any time; cancelling ends hosting at the end of the current paid month.

11.Warranty & Disclaimer

The Designer will build the site with reasonable skill and care and will fix bugs in the Designer's own code reported within [14] days of launch at no charge. Beyond that, the site is provided "as is." The Designer does not guarantee any specific business result, such as a number of customers, sales, search rankings, traffic, or revenue, and does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or hacker-proof operation.

12.Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the Designer's total liability under this Agreement is limited to the amount the Client actually paid for the project. The Designer is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost business, or loss of data, even if advised such damages were possible. The Client is responsible for keeping its own copies of any content it provides.

13.Confidentiality

Each party agrees to keep the other's non-public business information private and to use it only for this project.

14.Independent Contractor

The Designer is an independent contractor, not an employee or partner of the Client. The Designer controls how and when the work is performed and is responsible for the Designer's own taxes.

15.Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New Mexico. Any dispute will be handled in the courts located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. If any part of this Agreement is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.

16.Entire Agreement

This document is the entire agreement between the parties and replaces any earlier discussions. Any changes must be in writing and agreed by both parties (email is acceptable).

17.Signatures

By signing below, both parties agree to the terms above.
