Hey guys,
Can anyone please point to a template you use for the Statement of Work? I need one for a design/css/back-end integration project. I'd appreciate something you really use rather than just a link to something... there are a lot of them available in google, but i don't know which one is good for what we do.
Thanks!!

could you tell the slower of us what the fuck a 'statement of work' is?

It's a document that states exactly what is involved before commencing with a project I believe... kind of like a project plan and functional spec but perhaps offered at an earlier stage, like as part of a proposal.
I think.

ahh right. yep, there's a million of those around. never used one myself and a few i've looked at lately from some developers are way to long and convoluted. confused the hell out of me. if you find a good one link us in pls!

I generally list ""Deliverables" in contracts circumvents this garbage. But I run my freelance biz like I'm landscaping so whatev.

contracts seem to matter only if the client actually reads them.... I've experienced clients who seem to be unfortunately aware that it costs me more $$ to hire a lawyer than it's worth....
...best way to deal with this is to make sure you're talking to the person who actually pays the bills, not just somebody who wants you to do things but has to get somebody else to pay for it...
