Hi,
I'm developing a small website for a former colleague, and I've done up a proposal which I'm ready to send to him.
I've outlined the payment schedule in the proposal - three phases with one third to be paid at each stage. I've outlined phase 1 as follows:
Phase 1:
Proposal acceptance
Contract signing
Initial payment - one third of total cost
Now, I've never done up a contract for a website before - I was employed as an internal webmaster for a long time, only gone out on my own recently, and done some websites for people I'd know well so never got into the contract side of things.
First off, I'm wondering do I need a formal contract for a small site like this, specially when it's someone I know and trust; and secondly where would I get my hands on a sample contract (for the big sites that I'll soon be doing! )
Thanks,
J.
