SUMMARY

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. In this agreement you won’t find any complicated legal terms or long passages of unreadable text. We’ve no desire to trick you into agreeing to something that you might later regret. What we do want is what’s best for both parties, now and in the future. So in short; You are hiring Via the Webs to: design, assemble, and manage a website. Of course it’s a little more complicated, but we’ll get to that.

WHAT DO BOTH PARTIES AGREE TO

You: You have the authority to enter into this agreement on behalf of yourself, your company or your organization. You’ll give us the assets and information we need to complete the project. You’ll review our work, provide feedback and approval in a timely manner too. Deadlines work two ways. Us: We have the experience and ability to do everything we’ve agreed with you and we’ll do it all in a professional and timely manner. We’ll aim to meet every deadline that’s set and on top of that we’ll maintain the confidentiality of everything you give us.

DESIGN

We create designs that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. We create them iteratively, please view our examples. We may use visuals to indicate a creative direction (color, texture and typography). You’ll have plenty of opportunities to review our work and provide feedback. We’ll either share a Dropbox, Google Drive folder, Github repository, or development site with you and we’ll have regular contact by either phone or email. If at any stage of design you change your mind about what you want delivered or aren’t happy with the direction our work is taking, you may terminate this agreement only paying what’s been paid to date of notice. Conversely, if we fill we are not the best fit for your needs, we are free to terminate this agreement as well.

Text content: You are the expert in your industry and as such, can best relay proper verbiage and the message you want to deliver. We will proofread and have a copy editor review for spelling and grammar but do expect your involvement in text content creation. Graphics and photographs: Any graphics or photos supplied should be in an high-resolution digital format that you have the legal right to use. We can provide both additional cost and no cost stock photos to supplement yours.

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 our work in current versions of desktop browsers including Apple-Safari, Apple-Chrome, Windows-Chrome, Windows-Edge, Windows-Firefox, Linux-Chrome, and Linux Firefox. Mobile browser testing for 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 our designs in iOS-Safari and Android-Chrome on manufacturer supported devices.

eCommerce is available at no cost by adding a link to your website that allows the visitor to jump over to your store. If 3rd party embed code is available, we can add it to the website provided it’s compatibility. This could be an eBay Page, Amazon Store, or even one we’ve used, Ecwid.

You will receive full blog post design services. Just send us the content and we’ll put it all together. We can find pictures if needed. Blogs are great for SEO and writing messages to be shared on social media. This could be a daily/weekly special or to promote a new product as well. Externally hosted blogs can be linked or embedded as well.

We will add widgets, plugins, or code snippets as they are often called, created to embed a service from another website within yours, provided it’s compatibility and our assessment of it’s security. In the end, we anticipate no issues but know that we do not control the code provided.

MANAGEMENT

We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind or adapt to your customers needs. There is no limit on the amount of in-design changes that can be made but complexity and volume can come into play with the time it takes to complete. We ask that you give us as much time as possible and we commit to doing everything possible to ensuring it is completed in a timely manner. We have no problem with scheduling a change in advance so all we need to do is activate the change on that day.

Website hosting (displaying your website on the internet) and security updates are included with your monthly plan.
