- Describe design, development and hosting separately.
- Choose company or freelance status around how you will work.
- Agree access, maintenance and ownership before the first handover.
Turn your website package into a licence brief
A five-page brochure site and an online shop can involve different responsibilities. Your package might include design, development, payment integration, copywriting and ongoing hosting. Write out the parts rather than choosing a licence from the word “creative”.
Say which services your company performs and which you buy from others. If you outsource development but remain the client’s contractor, explain that arrangement too. The final activity selection should reflect the work you sell, not just the skill you enjoy most.
Would a company or freelance route fit better?
Compare the contracting name, ability to add partners, staffing rules and available facilities. GoFreelance’s own guidance illustrates why individual permit conditions should be checked directly rather than assumed to match a company licence.
A solo designer testing a service has a different plan from two founders building an agency with employees. Include your likely next step in the comparison, while avoiding unnecessary extras on day one.
Decide what happens after launch
The client should know who renews the domain, pays the hosting bill and applies security updates. Put those decisions in the service agreement. A website can be finished as a design project while still needing ongoing operational care.
| Part of the project | Decision to record |
|---|---|
| Domain and hosting | Account owner, billing and administrator access. |
| Design and source files | Usage rights and handover contents. |
| Maintenance | Included changes, response arrangements and renewal. |
What should you take to a setup consultation?
Bring a sample package, expected customer locations and an estimate of the people who will deliver the work. Mention any software resale, online training or advertising services you want to add. Ask for the relevant activities, workspace, visas and renewal charges to be shown separately.
Keep your first proposal realistic. A clear design scope and a dependable handover can be more useful to a new client than a long list of extras. Kompani Setup can help compare the formation routes around that scope and explain which costs belong to the company setup.
