Authorship Protection for Web Designers
Your wireframes, mockups, and design systems are copyrightable works. Prove you created them.
The Problem
Pain points that web designers face every day.
Clients take concepts to cheaper agencies
You present a website concept to a client. They decline — then launch an identical design built by a cheaper agency six months later. Your original mockups are the evidence that wins that dispute.
Design systems are easily replicated
Your component libraries, design tokens, and system architecture can be copied by anyone with access to the front end. Proving you designed the system first requires documentation.
Scope creep blurs IP boundaries
As projects evolve, the line between what was contracted and what was created as part of the relationship becomes blurry. Without timestamps, proving what you created and when is difficult.
How ScriptShield Helps
Specific ways ScriptShield protects web designers.
1. Register designs before client presentations
Upload your wireframes, mockups, and design files before every client meeting. Your SHA-256 fingerprint proves the exact design existed at that moment.
2. Protect your design process
Register concept sketches, mood boards, and iteration files. Your version chain shows the full creative development — proving the work originated with you.
3. NDA-gate every proposal
Send proposals and design concepts through ScriptShield. Recipients agree to your terms before viewing. Every access is logged.
Real Scenario
The website concept that was built by another agency
A web designer presents a full website concept to a prospective client — complete with wireframes, a visual design system, and a responsive prototype. The client says the budget doesn't work and walks away. Six months later, the client launches a new website with another agency — and the layout, colour palette, and component structure are unmistakably based on the original concept. Without proof that the concept was shared with the client, the designer cannot establish their claim. With ScriptShield, the design files were registered before the presentation, the client accessed them via a tracked link, and every access event is documented.
