This working agreement covers website copywriting and the day-to-day way we’ll run the project together, alongside the proposal you accepted (the proposal sets the pages, inputs, timing, and price).
We’ll write in a clear, meeting-ready voice and explain our choices in plain language so your team can review without guesswork. You’ll get a simple process, named owners on both sides, and copy that is built to hold up through marketing, sales, legal, and leadership review.
What you get
Website copywriting covers the writing work, collaboration, and handoff needed to get your site pages ready to publish. We’ll follow the process in the proposal: kickoff and intake, voice and message pull from interviews, drafting in a shared doc, one revision pass using combined notes, then final delivery with layout notes.
Your project deliverables are listed below. Anything not listed is not included, but we’re happy to quote it if you want to add it.
* Website page copy * Voice and messaging summary * Shared Google Doc workspace * Revision pass * Layout and handoff notes * Final copy export
Payment
To book the work, we invoice 30% of the total price when you sign. We start scheduling and kickoff once that invoice is issued. We invoice the remaining 70% when we hand over the finished copy and final export.
Each invoice is payable within 14 days of its date. If a payment is late, we pause work and pause any deadlines that depend on our work until the account is current. If a launch date is fixed, tell us early so we can plan around internal approvals and avoid a last-minute rush caused by late payment.
Revisions
This project includes one revision pass. A revision pass means we take one combined set of notes on the draft pages in the shared Google Doc, then we update the copy to address those notes. It covers tightening, clarifying, reordering, and adjusting voice so the pages read consistently.
To keep the project moving, we ask you to route feedback through one point person and send it as one compiled set of comments. If you want another pass, or if feedback introduces new goals, new pages, or a new direction after drafting starts, we’ll price and schedule the extra work in writing before we continue.
Who owns what
Once the final invoice is paid, you own the final, approved copy we deliver for this project. That includes the final text for the pages and any final supporting copy we hand over as part of website copywriting.
Until then, drafts and working files stay ours and can’t be published, forwarded outside your company, or reused for another project. Our templates, research methods, prompt libraries, checklists, and other behind-the-scenes tools are part of how we work and always stay ours, even when the finished copy becomes yours.
Portfolio use
We’re proud of the work, and showing it helps future clients understand what “meeting-ready” copy looks like. Unless you ask us not to, we can display the finished, published work as a portfolio example, including screenshots, short excerpts, and a simple description of what we did.
If you need the work kept private, or if you want a delay until after a launch, just tell us in writing. We’ll follow that request. We won’t share sensitive information you provide during interviews or intake, and we won’t publish internal drafts, feedback threads, or anything from your review process.
Limits and responsibilities
We’ll do the work with care and we’ll flag issues we see, but we can’t promise outcomes we don’t control. For example, we can’t guarantee specific conversion rates, SEO rankings, ad performance, or sales results because those depend on traffic quality, offer, product, design, pricing, and your market.
You’re responsible for the accuracy of any facts, claims, and approvals in the copy, including legal or compliance requirements specific to your industry. We’ll write to support review by marketing, sales, legal, and leadership, but we can’t control internal turnaround time or how different stakeholders resolve disagreements.
Ending the project
Either of us can end the project by giving notice in writing. We’ll agree the notice period with you in writing based on where the work is at and what deadlines you’re working toward.
If the project ends, you’ll pay for the work we’ve completed up to the end date, including any non-cancellable time already booked by our team. After payment, we’ll hand over what’s finished at that point in the shared Google Doc, plus any notes that help another writer pick it up. Anything not yet written, not yet revised, or not yet approved stays out of scope unless we agree a restart plan.
