Website development agreements describe the programming, services, and other requirements associated with a company’s website development project. Websites come in many different varieties, ranging from the plain to the glitzy and from the simple to the complex. After a company has made some basic decisions concerning the type of site it wants-or the type of site it wants its current site to become-a website developer should be selected who has the experience and capability in that type of site. To some extent, the criteria and desires of the company in this process should be reflected in the website development agreement.
