About this template
This web design contract template is set up for a website redesign: design rounds, build, content migration, a launch checklist and a fix period after launch. It covers technical requirements, handover, milestone payments, ownership and personal data. Web agencies and freelance developers use it once a client has approved the project.
When to use this agreement
Use it for a website project with phases from discovery to launch and payments tied to milestones. It suits redesigns and can be adapted for new builds.
Compared with a general service agreement, it adds technical requirements, a handover of source files and admin access, and a personal data and security clause. For ongoing maintenance after launch, a retainer agreement is usually a better fit.
What the agreement covers
- Services and delivery
- Services, estimated delivery dates, client responsibilities including final copy and account access, review and acceptance, change orders, and technical requirements and handover.
- Fees and payment
- Fees per the schedule, invoices by milestone, a dispute process, suspension for overdue amounts and pre-approved expenses.
- Ownership and confidentiality
- Project materials pass to the client on payment, the provider keeps pre-existing tools, publicity needs permission, and both sides protect confidential information.
- Personal data and security
- Each party follows data protection law, a data processing addendum is agreed where needed, and security incidents must be reported.
- Schedules
- Services covering design, build, content migration and launch, a phased timeline, and a milestone payment plan.
Before you send it
- State what is excluded
- The services schedule excludes copywriting by default. Add or remove items so scope is clear.
- Set technical requirements
- Record the platform, browsers and any accessibility requirements in Schedule 1.
- Plan the handover
- Confirm which files, instructions, licences and admin access the client receives at the end.
- Have a lawyer review it
- Ask a lawyer to review it under the governing law, especially the personal data clause.
This guide is general information, not legal advice. Have a lawyer review the agreement for your situation and the governing law before you use it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should a web design contract include?
Scope and exclusions, timeline, client responsibilities, review and acceptance, technical requirements, payment milestones, ownership, handover, data protection, post-launch fixes, liability limits and termination. This template includes each of these.
Who owns the website after the project?
Under this template, project materials transfer to the client once the related fees are paid. The provider keeps its pre-existing tools and licenses them for use in the site. Third-party software stays under its own licence.
Does silence count as approval of the website?
Not under this template. Acceptance needs written approval or use of the site in production. The client has a set review period to report issues.
Can I customise this web design contract?
Yes. With a Propovo account you can edit the scope, timeline, payment milestones and clauses, then send it for electronic signature. The trial is free for 14 days and needs no card.
