Terms & Conditions

Acceptance

It is not necessary for any Client to have signed an acceptance of these terms and conditions for them to apply. If a Client accepts a quote then the Client will be deemed to have satisfied themselves as to the terms applying and have accepted these terms and conditions in full.

Please read these terms and conditions carefully. Any purchase or use of our services implies that you have read and accepted our terms and conditions.

General Approach

For general website design & development projects we employ the following steps:

  • Upon quote acceptance/signoff, initiation payment is processed to start the project.
  • Once we have your brand details such as logo, images, branding materials etc, and content, we will have a mock-up for your review within 5 to 10 working days.
  • You can review the design and suggest improvements accordingly. We provide 2 revisions for free. Revisions will be expected in an email, word, or similar document, with edits that do not add to project scope but simply bring the project closer to the intended vision. Additions are billed at our hourly rate of $65/hour. 
  • Depending upon the time and resources allocated to your project, we’ll transfer as much content as possible from the old website to the new website. Remaining content can be transferred via the CMS by your designated staff. We can provide the instructions needed to help you do this.

  • Once the site is ready from our end, we generally hand it over to you for further review, test and/or to upload/change contents as necessary.

  • Also, generally speaking, going-back and forth takes a lot of time. We encourage you to provide all necessary details, at the start of the project to ensure that the project team’s time is efficiently utilised on your project and you do not incur any unnecessary additional costs.

  • You will be kept updated via emails and/or telephone calls as the project demands. However, please do not hesitate to contact us any time you require a project status. Also, please always keep us updated with your relevant email addresses/contact details.

  • We consider ourselves to be very flexible and adaptable and approach all requests with a ‘can do’ attitude. If you require something changed, please feel free to discuss with us. Please contact us if you require further details or have any questions. We look forward to working together with you on your project!

Thus, it is essential that you clarify every aspect of your website development and ensure that you have been quoted on the right requirements.
