ok here is the low down I have written up a contract and told him not to design anything until he has signed the letter of agreement and post it back to me.
He has hosted and designed other websites for us before, my friend and I know him but haven’t personally met him. He sounds very honest and kind and generous.
I have also told him to be safe on copyright laws too when designing the website. It’s all written down on the Contract letter I've written out.
The website will be used professionally for casting agents and for me to promote myself as an actor. And with the examples that his come up with is exerllent and very creative, every edgy and professional.
It is not spam. It didn’t come up on my emails…I’m not that naïve or stupid!!! It was through a relationship of chatting through msn and emails. There was friendship…I wouldn’t trust anyone down the street or someone that was random out of no where.
He wants the website to be registered with .com and its not much to have a domain and host (its like $18 for registration and Hosting is $35) (Total $53 a year) The website is going to feature my Bio and Resume, Photos and media resources and Videos of my Showreels and TV commercials (where I will be getting permission from all companies)
But yeah I am agreeing on your thought about letting someone from another country run my website unpaid. My concern is will he want to continue to run the website for me for many years to come?....therefore with this question, I have made sure in the contract letter to state that I will have all access to the website, (all passwords and login identifications be given to me, so I can run it and take care of it) I also included that constant contact with him through email and conversations on MSN and know the whereabouts of his business. All this is in the contract. I trying to cover as much as possible. I’ve researched copyright laws but need to look into international copyright laws. Man this is HARD!
Would it be easier to do the website myself?
I’m getting a professional to look at the contract and see what they say.
Still not 100% sure yet guys
What do you think?
Should I host and do everything myself and depend on myself or let someone who is passionate to help me, and help them promote there talents in website designing?
Worried and unsure...it hasn’t been finalised yet. So....
