Contracts

I sometimes turn down projects because i have not made myself a contract (and i feel like i would need it in order to work with that specific client). I really should get down to creating one!

Anyone have a any tips/ things i should make sure to include/ perhaps share a sample contract?

Also, when working on a smaler project would you just send the contract as an email that they should consent to? I’ve heard from someone that that is legally binding. I dont want to scare off a small client (make it look too official) and its probably not worth the hassle of them printing, signing, scanning back in.

Would love to hear your advice and input please.

there is no harm in having a standard email contract that sets out what the project involves and the agreed job and price and timescale. It is advised to ask the client for confirmation before starting the job.
