In order for a contract to be valid, there must be mutual agreement: offer and acceptance. While there are situations in which the offer originates with the buyer, such as winning a project bid on the site ("Build me this type of website for x dollars"), in our industry the offer typically originates with you or I -- the seller. So everything we discuss with the client during the sales process becomes the "offer." We indicate "acceptance" once you sign on the dotted line.
Regardless of whether offers originate with you or with the buyer, there are essential components that should be present in every offering. Some important considerations are: scope of work; client amends and revisions; dealing with client delays; milestones and project completion; payment terms; maintenance and technical support; client or third party site modifications; liability if things go awry; and who will ultimately own the Website you've built. This article looks at each of these considerations, and explains why they're important inclusions for your contract.
