6. Legal Page Checklist
If you are freelancing or own a business (or likely both) chances are you have a website. If that is the case, you need to have a page on your site covering legal stuff to make sure your site and business are protected.
Ideally, you would hire an attorney to draft these policies for you but if you can’t quite afford that…
This checklist will guide you through the top 10 things you need to be sure to include on your site’s legal page.
