I would never give away the rights to any of my material.
I also want to make it clear that he cannot take those pictures and post them anywhere else.

If you go to Google and type in "website contract" there are several sites that even have the suggested contracts on them. Be careful, a friend of mine had a membership site without a good contract or an honest website designer. She lost control of the site (and the URL with her name in it) which is still up. He collects membership fees even though there has been no new material for 2 years. She gets the email complaints.

Thank you. This is really tricky for me, because the guy that is doing it for me lives in the states. So there will be alot of paperwork being sent back and forth.

When it comes to business many people have partners who help them with the business part. Freeing the indivudal to do what they do best. But this must be an above board relationship. If not partner one might consider business manager.

I'll do the website for you and show you how to administer it yourself if you like. Once it's done it's all yours. I'm an honest dude.
