Frequently asked questions
How should payments be structured in a web development contract?
Milestone-based payment is the standard: an upfront deposit (commonly 30–50%), one or two mid-project milestones, and a final payment before launch or handover. This template ships with that structure ready to edit.
How do I prevent endless revisions?
Cap included revision rounds per milestone (two is common) and price additional rounds as change requests. The template includes both clauses.
Is this template free to use?
Yes. Sign in with a free Pactiamo account, open the template, and customize it in the editor. No credit card required.
Can my client sign this online?
Yes. You share a single link; your client reviews and e-signs from any device without creating an account. You can also embed your own payment link so they can pay right after signing.
