does anyone know where i'd go to purchase a copyright for a site for my client?

dont need to.

from my understanding it's immidaetly copyrighted material for the author.

if you still want official papers, i believe godady might offer. link: https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/copyr...scssid=2821151

Waste of money if you ask me.

Lavashark's right. Everything you write is automatically copyrighted to you (unless you've signed those rights away, as in a work for hire), whether it's web content or a personal letter.

See http://www.whatiscopyright.org/ : "If it is an essay, if it is a play, if it is a song, if it is a funky original dance move, if it is a photograph, HTML coding or a computer graphic that can be set on paper, recorded on tape or saved to a hard drive...copyright protection begins when any of the above described work is actually created and fixed in a tangible form."

This site isn't ENTIRELY correct (a funky dance move is probably not copyright-able, and neither, by the way, is uncompiled code), but you get the idea.

How do I copyright my material?
Your web page, ad copy, essay, etc, is copyrighted the minute you publish it.
