The kill fee clause most contracts skip.
Protects you when a client cancels mid-project. Most templates miss this. Or use a vague “30 days notice” line that does nothing when the client ghosts you halfway through.

Questions.
Do I need a contract for freelance web design?
A signed contract protects you from scope creep, late payments, and disputes over deliverables. Every freelance web design project should start with one, no matter the size.
What should a web design contract include?
Scope and deliverables, timeline with milestones, payment schedule, revision policy, IP transfer, confidentiality, liability limits, a kill fee clause, and governing law. This generator covers all 10 sections automatically.
What is a kill fee in a web design contract?
A cancellation clause that protects you if a client ends the project early. Here it pays 100% of completed milestones plus 50% of any in-progress one, tied to the milestones you entered.
Is this contract legally binding?
A professional starting point tailored to your details. Covers all standard freelance web design clauses. Have a local attorney review it for your jurisdiction. AI-generated contracts are not legal advice.
How is this different from a template?
Templates have blanks you fill in. We write the whole document from your actual project details: names, scope, milestones, rates.
How much does it cost?
Free. No account. One contract per month in English.
Can I edit the contract after generating it?
Yes. You get both a PDF and an editable Word doc. Adjust any clause to fit your situation.
What languages are supported?
English today. Multilingual generation is on the roadmap as a paid feature.
