Scope creep
The page list was a sentence on a call. "One more page" never goes back through the price.
For freelance web designers and small studios
Look like a studio from the first email.
Proposal to handover, in Google Docs. The paperwork that wraps a web project, from the first email to the files you hand over.
Founding price $19. Then $29. Pay once.
01 — The gaps
The project leaks in four places.
None of these are a design problem. They are missing paperwork.
Unpaid revisions
Round two was included. Round six is still "quick." Nothing written down says when it stops.
Chasing deposits
The project starts on a yes in email. The deposit is a follow-up you send twice.
Messy handovers
Launch is a folder, a login in a chat, and a thread called final-FINAL. Next week they ask where the files are.
02 — The documents
What's inside.
Eight Google Docs. Make a copy for each client. These are the first page of each file. Select one to enlarge it.
Doc 0
Start Here
How to copy the pack, which document to send when, and what you leave blank.
Doc 1
Website Project Proposal
A proposal with a three-tier pricing table, so the first email already names a price.
Doc 2
Scope of Work
Page list, revision rounds, milestones and a payment schedule, and what is out of scope.
Doc 3
Web Design Services Agreement
A plain-English freelance contract template: deposit, late fees, IP transfer on final payment, and a kill fee. A template, not legal advice.
Doc 4
Project Kickoff Agenda & Notes
The agenda and a place for the notes, so kickoff is not a blank call.
Doc 5
Change Request Form
A form for work that was not in the scope, plus an email script to send with it.
Doc 6
Pre-Launch & Launch Checklist
Checks before the site goes live, and the list for launch day.
Doc 7
Website Handover Document
What the client receives, where it lives, and what you are finished holding.
03 — The workflow
Proposal to handover.
Doc 0, Start Here, is the map of this sequence. The content step is Website Content Ready Kit, which collects the copy, the assets, and the approvals. This pack is the paperwork around that step. Together they cover the client. Either one stands on its own.
01
Proposal
Doc 1. Three tiers, so the first email has a price on it.
02
Scope of work
Doc 2. Pages, revision rounds, milestones, payment, and what is out.
03
Agreement
Doc 3. Deposit, late fees, IP when the final payment clears, and a kill fee. A template, not legal advice.
04
Kickoff
Doc 4. Agenda and notes before design starts.
05
Content
Copy, logos, owners, due dates, and the version that was approved. This step is the other kit.
06
Change requests
Doc 5. A form and an email script when the work was not in the scope.
07
Launch
Doc 6. The checks before the site goes live, and launch day.
08
Handover
Doc 7. What they receive, where it lives, and what you stop holding.
04 — Fit
Who it is for.
Written for the person who designs the site and also sends the paperwork.
For
- Freelance web designers who send the proposal themselves.
- Small studios that want the same documents on every project, with their own prices filled in.
- Designers who already collect copy another way, including with the Website Content Ready Kit.
Not for
- A finished, lawyer-reviewed contract for one jurisdiction. The agreement is a plain-English template, not legal advice.
- Invoicing, e-signature, or a CRM. You send the files the way you already send email.
- Resale. The license is your own client work. You do not pass the blank pack to another studio.
- The website itself. These documents do not design, build, or host it.
05 — Delivery
How you get the files.
Same pattern as the content kit: a private page after checkout, and the copies live in your account. This pack is Google Docs only. No Notion step.
01
Pay on Waffo’s page
Checkout is hosted by Waffo. This site does not take the card number.
02
Land on a private page
When payment clears, Waffo sends you there. It is not in the menu. Eight buttons, one per document, each one Make a copy. The links are on that page as soon as checkout finishes. Nothing waits in an inbox.
03
Copy with a Google account
Make a copy puts the file in your Drive. You need a Google account for that. Make a fresh copy per client. Leave the originals alone.
06 — Questions
Before you buy.
Is the services agreement legal advice?
No. It is a plain-English freelance contract template. It includes a deposit, late fees, transfer of intellectual property when the final payment clears, and a kill fee. It is not legal advice, and it is not written for one country. Have a lawyer read it before you rely on it.
Can I edit these in Word?
Yes. Make a copy first. In Google Docs, use File → Download → Microsoft Word (.docx). The files are distributed as Google Docs. Opening a copy link needs a Google account.
What is the license?
You use the documents on your own client work. One person, or one studio that person runs, on the projects they run. You may not resell the pack, publish the blank files, or give them to another studio. A client who receives a filled document does not receive the blank pack. Read the terms.
Do I need the Website Content Ready Kit?
No. This pack is the paperwork. The Website Content Ready Kit is the page that collects copy, logos, and approvals. Use both if you want proposal through handover in one workflow. Either kit works without the other.
What do I need to open the files?
A Google account. After checkout, each document has a Make a copy button. The copy lands in your Drive. Read Start Here before you send anything to a client. This site does not host the filled-in files, and it does not sign the agreement for you.
What is the refund?
Beta purchases include a 14-day, no-questions-asked refund. The refund steps are on the policy page. Refund policy.
07 — Pricing
Founding price.
The founding price is $19. After that, the pack is $29. Pay once. Use the documents on every client this studio takes.
