Common questions from web developers

Who is responsible if the website goes down after launch?
This depends on what your contract says about hosting. If you're hosting on the client's own server/account, they're responsible for uptime. If you're managing hosting, your contract should define your SLA, response times, and what's included in your maintenance fee. Never take on hosting without a clear service agreement.
Should I require content from the client before building?
Yes — content delays are one of the biggest causes of project overruns. Your contract should specify that design and development work depends on client-provided content being delivered by a certain date. Include a clause stating that delays caused by client inaction may extend the delivery timeline and may incur additional charges.
What's a reasonable kill fee if a project gets cancelled mid-build?
Typically, you should be paid for all work completed to date plus a cancellation fee (often 25% of the remaining project value). The safest approach is milestone billing — you get paid at each milestone, so there's no large unpaid balance if a project gets cancelled.
