Terms, in plain English
This is a summary. Every project has a written agreement we both sign before work starts, and that agreement is what counts.
Website projects
- The free mockup is free, with no obligation.
- Projects start with a signed agreement and a $250 deposit. The remaining $250 is due after you approve the site and before it goes live.
- Two rounds of changes are included before launch. Extra changes are $50 an hour, quoted first.
- You provide your content (photos, logo, text and business details) and confirm you have the right to use it.
- If a project stalls for 60 days waiting on content, I may close it out.
Ownership
- Once paid in full, your website is yours. Your domain is registered in your name, on your account.
- I keep the right to reuse my own general code and design techniques, and to show your site in my portfolio unless you ask me not to.
Care plan
- $50 a month (or $500 a year), billed automatically. Cancel with 30 days' notice.
- Includes up to 30 minutes of changes per month. Unused time doesn't roll over.
- I reply to change requests within 2 business days. Hosting is provided by a third party and uptime is best effort.
- If payment is more than 30 days late, I may pause updates until it's caught up.
What I don't promise
I can't guarantee search rankings, traffic or sales, and I can't guarantee that any website is immune to legal claims. I do promise to build your site carefully, following accessibility and security best practices.
