Are you hiring a website builder in the UAE to create a website? Of course, you can find lots of options out there to choose from. But before you proceed to hire any UAE web developer, make sure that you sign a website contract with them to avoid any kind of conflicts or misunderstandings in the future.
But, if you are creating a website for the first time, you may be wondering what a website development contract looks like or what are the essential items of a website contract.
Don’t worry. We’ve got you covered.
In this blog post, we have outlined some of the basic yet essential items of a website design contract.
Let’s begin!
#1 Website’s Scope of Work
The most important thing that a website contract should have is the scope of work. Your web developer should include and elaborate on the scope of work for your website in the contract. This will ensure that both the client and the web developer are on the same page. Before you sign the contract with your web developer in the UAE, you can also request them to share a website design package with you first.
#2 Website Timeline
A website contract or agreement should also have a timeline to complete the website development. Every website builder needs to mention the timeline to complete the website. It helps the client to set their expectations for launching their website online.
#3 Web Technologies
Another important thing that every website developer should include in a website design contract is the information related to the technologies that they will use for the development of the website. For e.g. if your website developer is using WordPress to build your website, he must mention the same in the website contract.
#4 Website’s Cost & Payment Terms
Every website development contract must have clear information about the total cost of website development along with the payment terms that both the parties (web developer and the client) have agreed to follow.
#5 Service warranty
Most professional website designers in the UAE offer warranties and guarantees after launching the website. Therefore, an ideal website contract should include the service warranties offered by the website developer.
#6 Portfolio
A website contract should also include the list of past works (portfolio) of the web developer or the website agency for the client to review. At Innomedia, we always make sure to list out some of our recent website works for our clients to review.
