In this episode, I'm keeping things light and talking about something I get asked about all the time- legal documents for your website. Before diving in, I share a quick life update: it's August and I'm already planning ahead for fall, which always brings a wave of inquiries. Most of my business is retainer clients at this point (some since 2021!), so spots are limited, and I'm booking into October and November. The main topic is the four legal documents most website owners need, what they do, and why they matter.
This comes with a big disclaimer that I'm not a lawyer and everything I share is from experience building websites and learning from legal professionals over the years. Consult with your own lawyer accordingly.

The four legal documents every website owner should consider:
Privacy Policy — legally required; tells visitors what data you collect and how you use it
Terms & Conditions — not legally required but highly recommended; protects you and sets rules for how people interact with your site
Medical Disclaimer — important if you publish health/PT content and don't want readers to mistake it for medical advice
Accessibility Statement — an emerging area of legal risk; shows good faith effort toward an accessible website
Accessibility plugins (ElfSite and UserWay) as practical tools
Why I don't recommend using AI to write legal documents
How to add legal pages to your website (blank page + footer link)
Course terms and conditions as an additional document if you sell digital products
