Terms
of Services
(Updated June 9, 2010)
Price
Unless otherwise
stated, the purchase price includes: design of your website, domain
name registration, site hosting, update requests anytime, search
engine optimization, performance tracking, and personalized service!
** Most customers only request monthly or quarterly text-based
updates. If your website requires more frequent or extensive updates
additional charges may apply.
We will work
together to create a custom package and price that is right for you.
Contact and Updates
I pride myself on having very personalized service. Since my
hours of website design work are irregular, email is always the best
way to ensure that your questions and concerns will be answered most
efficiently. Most updates are made within 2 business days of the
request. (Updates involving photos, redesign, or changes to layout
may take longer.)
Design Service
Expiration and Renewal
One month prior to your website design expiration you
will be reminded that your next year's payment is due. Each year
your payment entitles you to the website design layout that I
created as well as updates, web space, and email accounts. Payments
must be made by the account expiration date or the website will no
longer be active. If you choose to discontinue your service with me,
you retain full rights to your domain name. However, if you would
like to continue using my website design layout you must pay a
design fee for the copyright.
