There are an extensive number of articles on my site dealing with web 
design agreements.  Frankly, ownership of copyright is but one of many, 
many other provisions that impact on how much money you make, what rights 
you retain etc. etc.  What is more important than the mere issue of 
copyright ownership are the contractual provisions that impact on that 
copyright ownership.  And frankly as well, if this is your only concern you 
are probably missing many other issues.

Read "The Transfer of Rights in a Web Design Agreement" among many other 
such articles.  Click on "Articles For Web Site Designers and Site Owners."
