Okay, so you've secured a deal, the client has accepted your initial proposal and now its time to get them to sign the website contract.
You do have a contract don't [url=http://www.achbanker.com/homes.php]hollister france[/url] you?
Uh-oh. If you're now at this stage of the process and you don't have a contract ready, you're going to be running around in a mad panic trying to figure out where, or how to put one together.
Before you have a [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm[/url] heart attack, relax. Here's a quick and easy overview of what you need to include and why. Be mindful before starting your contract, that its imperative to keep it simple. There's no need to fill it full of technical jargon and mumbo jumbo. Just cover the basics and be sure to include everything.
[url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] Okay, having said that, lets now take a look at what should be included.
For my own contracts I start the document with an introduction, or a "purpose of document" This is simply a section that provides the client with what the document is about, what it covers and other explanations of the document.
Whilst [url=http://home.jnds.com.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=194741&do=blog&quickforward=1&id=67191]barbour uk outlet Finance & Investment Articles -[/url] the contract should be relatively straight forward and easy to understand, I still feel its worthwhile adding this section in, just to make it easier for the client to understand exactly what it is they're looking at. Its pointless handing [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk outlet[/url] over a fancy document if the client has no idea of what it is.
Following the introduction, it's best to clarify a few key areas. These are :
Authorisation - This covers who is engaged in the project, and dictates who has what access rights to which services. This usually includes servers, workstations and so on.
Hosting - This usually covers who is actually hosting the site and if the client needs assistance with this part of the project. [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.fr/category/doudoune-moncler/]doudoune moncler[/url] If the client needs assistance, then the developer will provide a suitable hosting provider.
Domain registration - Much like hosting, the contract covers who is responsible for the domain name registration, or if the client requires assistance. In any case, the developer [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich[/url] usually needs certain information such as the login details to set name server addresses.
Email support - Again, much like hosting and domain registration, this section of the contract covers responsibilities in terms of setting up and or configuring email accounts. I generally tend to address support here also, which I don't do [url=http://www.ilyav.com/uggpascher.php]ugg pas cher[/url] as I feel its more-so a technical support issue and not web design related.
Generic design and construction elements - Without getting too bogged down in what this section covers, I will say that it accommodates some of the more traditional web design stuff such as graphics, photography, logos, content, links and cross browser compatibility. Its essential to address these elements here, especially from a responsibility perspective. In the past Ive experienced major delays with clients not providing content when requested, and also images and photography.
Payment terms - This is pretty self explanatory. In this section you should be specifying your deposit, due dates, payment time frames, late fees and charges. This section of your contract should be documented in detail, to prevent any miscommunication that may [url=http://www.mquin.com/giuseppezanotti.php]giuseppe zanotti sneakers[/url] prevent payment on time.
Change requests - This may not be on every ones contract, but it sure is on mine. Change requests are without a doubt one of the biggest reasons for project delays and failures. Often, the client will go about changing their minds on every occasion just because they can, and well, probably just to make your life harder too. Change requests need to be addressed before the project begins - not during. Because it will be far too late by then.
Maintenance agreement - This is also known as a service level agreement. A service-level [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/moncler.php]moncler outlet[/url] agreement or SLA as its commonly known defines the level of service or support that is agreed upon post project life cycle. In simple terms, it outlines the responsibilities of the person providing support. Depending upon the complexity of the job, I might use a separate website maintenance contract, just to define the level of support the customer gets.
Legals - This is most likely where you'll need assistance from a qualified solicitor, or lawyer to ensure that you're protected from a legal point of view. I'm certainly no legal expert, so for my contract, I got the advice and help of a solicitor, which cost me a few hundred dollars. This might [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister france[/url] seem like a nuisance, but if done right, you only need to have it drawn up once. Then amend it over time as needed.
Conclusion - The final part of the website contract. This is where [url=http://www.mxitcms.com/tiffany/]tiffany outlet[/url] you summarise the points mentioned above and have the client sign off and accept the contract as a whole. Its always best if both parties sign off and date the contract. To be sure I cover myself completely, I ask the client to initial each page as well as sign [url=http://yoshitake-g.co.jp/cgi-bin/light.cgi]woolrich outlet Tips On How T[/url] the last page. This way they cant say they missed anything [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] or [url=http://www.weishengseo.com/news/html/?224217.html]giuseppe zanotti pas cher Methods To Find Cheap Paintings Not All Beautiful Arts Are Too Dear[/url] certain pages were missing.
