We’ll always do our best to fulfill your needs and meet your expectations, but it’s important to have things written down so that we both know what’s what, who should do what and when, and what will happen if something goes wrong.

It’s a straightforward contract that will give you a pretty gorgeous outcome and lays out exactly the deal we have between us.

What we do want is what’s best for both parties, now and in the future.

Text content: Unless agreed separately, we are not responsible for the text and images in the website although we will do our best to help here.

Graphics and photographs: You should supply graphic files you would like on the site. You should supply photographs in a high resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries. You must have written permission for all photographs used.

Browser testing: Browser testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in browsers of different capabilities or on devices with different size screens. It does mean ensuring that a person’s experience of a design should be appropriate to the capabilities of a browser or device. We test websites in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google(Chrome), Microsoft (Edge) and Mozilla Firefox.

Mobile browser testing: Testing using popular smaller screen devices is essential in ensuring that a person’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device they’re using. We test designs in: iOS: Safari and Google Chrome Android: Google Chrome Technical support.

This isn't obligatory just a recommendation and is charged at £75p/h and we recommend an hour per month.

Search engine optimisation (SEO): Whilst we can’t guarantee improvements to your website’s search engine ranking straight away, each page will be SEO ready upon completion which means we will set it up for you. It is then your responsibility to optimise your site and we will show you how. We will place a plugin named Yoast on your site so it's super easy to complete!

Changes and revisions: We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind. The price at the beginning of this contract is based on the number of weeks that we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told us you want to achieve, but we are happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new (larger than changing the placement of an image for example), that won’t be a problem but once it is live and agreed upon, we’ll provide a separate estimate for that additional time.

Legal stuff: We carry out our work in accordance with good industry practice and at the standard expected from a suitably qualified person with relevant experience.
