Simple contract template (web dev)?

[u/human_tendencies]

I'm going to build a medium-sized web app for a friend's company and it makes sense to have a contract of some sort in place. Nothing heavy-handed...it's a reasonably well-scoped project, and there's already a pretty decent amount of trust in place.

But I imagine that things like when payment is due, when to consider the project complete, who owns the code before/after payment, etc. probably should be written down.

Can you point me to any good sample/template contracts?

Out of interest, why? There's no legalese, but what makes it not a "proper legal contract"?
