Methodology
This page explains how the forms on this site are designed and how their pages are checked before they are published.
What the tools are
The tools on this site are document generators. They turn what you type into an order form or an approval form that you can print or save as a PDF. They are not legal advice, and they do not decide anything about your work or your agreement with a customer.
How the fields are chosen
Each field is included because someone reading the form later needs it to understand what was agreed: who the customer is, what is being made, which details change the result, which version of a proof was shown and what the customer decided. Prices, deposits and payment terms are left out on purpose, because these forms are not quotes or invoices.
Sample data
Every tool has a Load example button, and the guides show the same examples. All of it is invented sample data, labeled as such. The business, the customer and the job in an example do not exist.
What we do not publish
- Terms and conditions for you to copy. What you agree with your customers is yours to write, with advice from someone qualified if you need it.
- Claims that a signed form has a particular legal effect.
- Features that do not exist yet described as if they were available.
How pages are reviewed
A page shows the name of the person who reviewed it and the date of that review. Until a page has been reviewed, it shows a notice saying it is a draft and is not offered to search engines. Review dates are set by hand and do not change automatically.
When a fact depends on an outside source, the page links to that source, and the full list is on the sources page.
