As in IP licensing? We've not really tackled that before. We don't want to bother with a lot of hassle for this single job but if there is a generic license we can apply that could work or we could consider getting our own thing written up if we can use it for all future contracts.

Hi forum, I've been working in digital media since 1997 working in the growing digital agencies of London before going freelance as a developer / designer and motion graphics artist. I left freelancing a few years ago and am now technical director of a digital agency again based in London. Over the years I have been on many sides of the fence and seen a lot of things

We've had a query about our terms from a client: "I would assume that we own all rights to the site and therefore any tools, functionality there in" I think we'd say they paid for the development and own the work but I wanted to see if you guys had a take on this. How do you normally handle this with clients? Does this differ between agency and supplier? The tricky area is in ownership, they can have the code and but we should be able to re-use it for other clients if we wish. Also I guess it would be annoying if they got a developer to package up our bespoke work and tried to resell it. Has anyone thought about this stuff before? I've done some searching on this forum and I think this might be a licensing thing?

I work at an agency that fairly often uses freelancers or small development teams. We sometimes negotiate deals with freelancers on their rates for large projects or for regular work. Often we work on a quote for the project basis rather than time, especially for larger jobs. The most important thing is the working relationship and being able to trust the freelancer. When possible we will try a freelancer out on a smaller / simple project before bringing them on board for a bigger / important project. Once we have built a good relationship with a freelancer we tend to use them more often and can plan project resources around what we know of their capabilities. Usually for individual designers (less with developers or teams) they will spend some of the project time on site.
