You learn in these three examples how to build a money-making blog with creativity instead of passively hoping that you'll get rich without any hard work!

Web Design Contract: Is it Necessary to Start Freelancing?

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 21:26:45 +0000

People often fret when it comes to doing a website without a freelancing contract or they spend weeks or months overthinking what should be in a web design contract instead of having conversations with business owners who need a website.

An agreement of some sort, such as an e-mail with bullet points, is essential to turn a web design client down for work that wasn't included with the original price.

But think about a situation where someone stiffs you...

Are you really going to get a lawyer involved because they didn't follow the contract as a freelancer just starting out?

Let me share my two WORST experiences with client work, both of which included signed contracts!

Here are the chapters to follow along:

Intro - 00:00
First story of contract work - 00:27
Second story of contract work - 02:15
Is a web design contract necessary? - 03:55
