Insurance for Web Designers in Georgia

Web design sits between creative work and technical work, and both can spark a client claim. If you build sites for clients in Georgia, here is the coverage you want in place.

Professional liability (E&O): your main coverage

E&O covers you when a client says your work caused a financial loss, even when you did nothing wrong:

• A launch slips past a deadline and the client claims lost sales.
• A client says the site did not do what was promised.
• A bug or oversight is blamed for a costly problem.

General liability will not cover those, because they are about your professional work. E&O handles legal defense and covered claims, and clients increasingly ask for it before a project starts.

Cyber: worth adding

If you handle client data, logins, or hosting, cyber insurance covers breaches, hacking, and lost data. For a web designer with access to client sites and accounts, it is a sensible pairing with E&O.

General liability covers physical risks like a client hurt at your workspace, and it is a useful add-on, but E&O comes first.
