Excellent share! I’m sure many will find this useful!

I also included a chapter on contracts/proposals in “A Project Guide to UX Design” with a template available at http://projectuxd.com in the downloads section.

Many thanks, Ross :-)

Yes, It is hard for us freelancers to deal with things like contracts, etc. At least it is for me. In a magical world I could just do the design and I would have a magical fairy that would take care of the administration side of things for me.

oh well,

thanks, cait wait to read.

Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to start reading. Also, thanks Monica for sharing your book. Perfect timing.

Absolutely createabit! It was written in 2008 so obviously some things are more updated today, but the general principles apply.

Thank you SO much! I have been searching for this type of resource, but always seem to come up with a bunch of “mumbo-jumbo.”

This is great! Have been looking for something like this for a while.

Thanks!

Ross on August 3, 2009 at 1:05 am CST

Very happy to share. I’ll be writing more e-books in this series, focusing on a number of issues important to designers and developers (not just legal issues). I’d like to do one e-book every month for the next 6 months. We’ll see if I can meet that goal.
