Ironclad Lite

Generate a web design contract with scope, revisions, and kill fees built in

Freelance web projects need a written agreement. This recipe generates a strong first-draft contract from your project details — scope, deliverables, revision limits, payment milestones, IP transfer, kill fees — in a format you can review and send for signature after legal review.

PROMPT

Create a skill called "Ironclad Lite". When I provide project details (client name, project description, deliverables, timeline, pricing), generate a freelance web design contract draft. Include these clauses: scope of work, deliverables list, revision limits, payment schedule with milestones, late-payment terms that I can configure for my jurisdiction, kill fee, IP transfer upon final payment, client responsibilities, timeline with milestones, and a change-order process for out-of-scope work. Format it as a professional PDF or document draft with signature lines. Include a cover page with the project summary and a clear disclaimer that this is a template that should be reviewed by a legal professional before use.

How It Works

Answer a few questions about the project (or paste your proposal), and

your Claw generates a contract draft covering the clauses freelance web

designers usually need: scope definition, revision limits, payment

schedule, late-payment terms, kill fee, IP transfer timing, and client

responsibilities.

What You Get

  • Contract draft formatted as a clean PDF or document
  • Scope of work pulled from your proposal or brief
  • Revision limits clearly defined
  • Payment schedule with milestones
  • Late-payment terms that you can configure for your jurisdiction
  • Kill-fee clause for projects that stop midstream
  • IP transfer upon final payment
  • Client responsibilities: content deadlines, feedback turnaround, single point of contact
  • Timeline with milestones
  • Change-order process for out-of-scope work

Setup Steps

  1. Provide project details: client, scope, deliverables, timeline, pricing
  2. Configure payment terms and revision limits
  3. Your Claw generates the contract draft
  4. Review it and have a lawyer review it for your jurisdiction
  5. Send the approved version for signature

Tips

  • This is a template draft, not legal advice
  • The kill-fee clause is a useful protection many freelancers skip
  • The IP transfer clause should stay tied to final payment
  • The client-responsibilities section prevents common launch delays from turning into disputes
  • Pair with Scope Creep Detector so the signed terms stay enforceable in practice
