I know this has been talked to death but I have never seen anyone come forward with a copy of their work/project contract, so here I am asking if I can a get a copy of one.
I think it would be a great NT service to have a sample contract available online (and I can certainly make it available on my server for those who need to download one) - so any takers?
If I'm asking too much, then I apologise. I just think its a good idea if we all knew what a good contract consists of.
Thanks

Simplest solution..
Write up a proposal - outlining exactly the work you're going to do, deadlines, costings, payment conditions (i.e. 1/3 up front, 1/4 after a certain stage, all on completion), literally all the work you agree to do for a price..
Then get one letter stating that you'll do the work as described, and the client will pay you, as much as stated in the proposal, and in the stages set out in the proposal.
Easiest thing to do for small jobs..

What about issues like displaying site credits?

well, mention it!
it simple, a contract is nothing less and nothing more then a piece of paper on which 2 parties agree on matter.

OK, I'll check out AIGA and see what they have - so is that what everyone uses?
SI - that's fine, and that's actually kinda what I've been doing since I've been coasting around the $5K project area - but I'm going to be taking one larger projects and I feel I need a more professional contract (read: More lawyer speak).
RE: Site credit, I think most clients understand and in fact want us to tag our work. I dont think it a bad idea to mention in our agreements that we reserve the right to a site credit.

Sunday bump!
I know this is a touchy subject for many of use, but I just got a job (not small, but not massive either) and the client asked me for a contract so that they can send to their attorneys to get approved.
Does anyone have a reliable link or sample that I can use? I usually write down my own, but I would like to use something a little more official this time.
Thank you in advance!
