if someone won't 'buy' a contract, then I wont work with/for them end of! If you think at this stage it will be hard to push a contract, just call it Terms of Business maybe? have you already taken part-payment?

no i havent - i can see the point and of course if during the initial stages there was resistance to a contract i would be suspicious ...... however putting myself in their position I would equally be suspicious of a designer who having never mentioned a contract during the sales meeting suddenly brought one up after there had already been agreement .... does this make sense .... anyway i have no reason to think that there'd be a problem - I only want to have an idea of what to do if there is !!

i suppose i could just take the approach that although i didnt mention it in the sales meeting it was taken as said .... a bit lame ?? no ?

Without a contract, there is little you can do if something goes wrong

sobering - i suppose that's the bottom line - i agree


...... actually on another note .... for something small like a one page brochure site or something is it also normal to sign a contract
