Good to know
When does the client own the website?+
Only once the full fee is paid. That protects you if a client disappears before the final invoice.
Can I show the site in my portfolio?+
Yes, unless the client objects in writing — the agreement says so.
Is this legal advice?+
No. It's a professionally structured starting point. For high-value or unusual deals, have an attorney review your completed document.
