Contracts Kit
Contracts for web developers

The contracts every web developer should have

Web developers get caught by vanishing clients and shifting scope — a build that drags for months because content never arrives. The Contracts Kit gives you plain-English templates built for exactly this — read every word before you decide, then own all 15 for a one-time $49.

The risk you carry

Development projects stall when the client misses their deadlines, then blame you for the delay. The right agreement ties launch to acceptance, sets what the client must deliver, and protects you when a project goes quiet.

The templates a web developer actually needs

Each is written in plain English and ready to use. Click any one to read the full document before you buy.

Website & App Development Agreement

Built for builds: browser and device scope, content deadlines, launch acceptance, and a clause for the client who disappears mid-project.

Statement of Work

Defines exactly what's in this phase and what's a future paid phase, so 'can you also add a login' doesn't blow up the timeline.

Scope Change Order

Turns every mid-build 'can you also…' into billable, signed-off work instead of silent scope creep.

IP Assignment Agreement

Hands over the code on final payment while letting you keep your own libraries and boilerplate.

Mistakes that cost web developers money

No acceptance clause, so the client withholds final payment claiming it's 'not done'.
Eating delays caused by the client missing content deadlines.
Giving up rights to your own reusable code by accident.

Frequently asked

What protects me if the client goes silent mid-build?

The Website & App Development Agreement includes terms for a stalled project — defined content deadlines and what happens when the client stops responding, so a quiet client doesn't trap your time and money indefinitely.

How do I keep getting paid when scope grows?

Use the Scope Change Order for every addition. It records the new work, its price, and the timeline impact in one signed page, so growth is billable instead of an argument.
