You need a Web Design Agreement with your clients
As a Web Developer, this is the most important document to protect you and your business. It should detail the website development services you are providing and be signed by your client. A well-written Web Design Agreement will provide you with legal protection for your business and show your client you are a professional operator.
The package also includes ‘Proposal and Quote Terms’ that you should add to your proposal and quote emails. These ensure your proposals and quotes reference your Web Design Agreement terms and protect your project ideas and suggestions.
“Must have” legal notices for your Web Developer website
- Privacy Policy – To explain how you use, store and update customer and visitor personal information.
- Website Disclaimer – To limit your liability from the information you publish and to protect your Copyright.
- Terms & Conditions – To state the terms under which you do business and clarify service expectations with potential clients. Australian Consumer Law requires this for all your customers.
Quick and easy online forms
Just input some basic information into each online form, and your customised legal agreements and notices are automatically generated.
The Web Design Agreement comes in PDF, Word and Google Docs formats. The Proposal and Quote Terms are in text format. The Website Legals are in text format that you just copy and paste into your website and make any changes to match your business model.
Free updates so you don’t worry about legislation changes
Australian Consumer and Privacy law is constantly changing, particularly with regard to the Internet and online businesses. We’re Australian lawyers, and we make it our business to keep on top of these changes. We don’t overwhelm you with emails, but when the law changes and any of the standard online templates are updated, we let you know so you never have to worry.
Online video instructions and telephone support
Online video instructions are included with each form. We step you through filling out each online form and explain important clauses as we go. But the forms are not complicated, and the instruction videos are short.
And you can always call us if you have any questions.
Is the web developer legal package right for me?
I want to retain full ownership of my IP …
The default standard version of the Web Design Agreement gives your client ownership of the website design once payment has been made. However, we have included editable versions (in Word and Google Docs formats) so you can change this yourself should you need to.
I want to subcontract work to a third party …
The Web Design Agreement allows you to subcontract work to qualified contractors and employees. But you are responsible for their work and must vet the final versions submitted to the client.
I want my logo on the agreements …
No problem. The Web Design Agreement comes in Word and Google Docs formats and is fully editable, so you can attach your logo and personalise your agreements.
Should I use the Graphic Designer Legal Package instead …
The Web Developer Legal Package is for professionals who design and develop websites (i.e. web developers, website designers, freelance coders). The Graphic Designer Legal Package is for creative professionals who provide graphic design services (i.e. graphic designers, graphic artists, commercial artists).

What our clients say …
I needed insight and advice to help navigate through what to me were unchartered waters starting my first online business. And Vanessa delivered on both counts. But she also made me feel that it was as important to her as it was to me that we sorted out the best way forward and managed the embryonic relationships sensitively. Thank goodness I chose Legal123.
I purchased the Website Legal Package and paid a little bit more to have it customised to suit my unique needs. Legal123 were absolutely fantastic - very responsive and very helpful. I feel I got great value for money. My new web business now has all the Ts & Cs in place for just hundreds rather than thousands of dollars. I'll definitely turn to you the next time we require a legal template. Thank you!
After numerous conversations with some of Australia's leading Legal firms, I stumbled across Legal123. During the first few minutes of our conversation it was clear to me that Vanessa's knowledge around Website legalities was superior. Engaging Legal123 so early in the piece enabled our team to make many critical changes to the point where Vanessa now plays a pivotal role in our success. I couldn't recommend Legal123 more highly.
Outstanding. Love the speed and efficiency of getting the forms I needed!
Customer service is EXCEPTIONAL - great product to boot - saved us thousands.
Such a great model for obtaining business legal docs - if you know what you need, you can save serious money - customer service is fantastic as well.
Ease of use - Epic. Quality of products - Awesome. Support - Sensational. Will use them again - Are you kidding? Of course. Will recommend to friends - Already did!
Absolutely impressed with both the legal document package I purchased today and the subsequent customer service I received from Legal123 when I had an issue with the order. Great customer service and thanks heaps. You definitely made my day today.
I found the templates so easy and simple. Rather than spend hours on sites trying to determine what I needed, I simply purchased and uploaded and my site was finally ready to be launched. I would recommend this process to anyone.
