Who can help me whittle down our standard contract statement of work to 1 page?

A moment ago, I realized my contract needs a usability overhaul. Here’s why:

# It’s frickin’ long. No one reads it all. I haven’t even read the whole thing through myself in one sitting since I wrote the template for it.

# It takes forever to formulate deliverables descriptions into language that fits into the legalese of the contract. I’m wasting time that could be spent building better mutual understanding with my client.

# No matter how much I write into the contract, it’s impossible to capture the intangibles of the process we go through at Studio Shah that make it possible for us to do what we do well. I should stop trying to explain it, and just do it.

# My clients don’t get much value out of the contract development process currently. They get value out of meeting with me and Sumul, talking with us, hearing our ideas and brief email recommendations. My contract should take notes from our actual business communication style.

Do you have a great, short contract that I could read? I might be willing to pay you to see it, if you can convince me it’s good enough.
