Web Design Services Agreement
A web design services agreement is a contract between a designer or agency and a client that defines the design deliverables, revision process, payment terms, and ownership transfer for a website design project. Use this when a freelance or agency designer is building website mockups and design assets for a client, separate from any development or ongoing hosting work.

Signing this agreement obligates the designer to deliver the agreed design work within the defined scope and revision limits, and obligates the client to pay according to the agreed schedule. Ownership of the final design assets typically transfers to the client only once payment is complete, and the agreement makes clear that hosting, domain registration, and development are not included unless stated separately.
