WEBSITE DESIGN PROCESS

Upon receipt of your free trial form, we will be in contact to request information we need to work on your website for you. This may include your logo, the main menu page names you would like, the text content and featured images you would like used on the home page, your contact details and your general design preferences.

Once we have received your information, we will complete your 2 hour free trial and provide you with the opportunity to view it. You may choose to go ahead with a website design at this point, and should you choose to, a deposit payment will be due. The deposit payment is refundable if we have not fulfilled our obligations to deliver the work required. The deposit is not refundable if the design work has been started and you choose not to proceed through no fault of ours.

Upon payment of the deposit, we will require the content and information to complete your website. We advise you have your full website content and images prepared in readiness at this point.

We allow a 2 week timeframe in which to complete standard website designs and a 4 week timeframe in which to complete eCommerce website designs. If you are not able to provide the content for your website as it is requested during this period, this timeframe will not be able to be met and completion of your website will then depend entirely on our existing workload and other previously booked work. At the end of the 2 week completion period for standard website designs and 4 week completion period for eCommerce website designs, the free trial period of the system expires and website hosting will become payable. 

As a certain amount of feedback required during a design, please appoint a single point of contact from your side to be made available on a daily basis in order to expedite the feedback and design process.

We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to make revisions to your design but please be aware that significant or repeated requests for revisions of design or content may incur additional fees which we will discuss with you. A specified time period of graphic design work is included in our design packages. If your requests for revisions to the design mean the specified graphic design time period may be exceeded, we will discuss the costs with you for your consideration.

We ask that you agree to reimburse us for any expenses which do not form part of the web design package including but not limited to stock photographs outside of those included, fonts, domain name registration or comparable expenses. If such expenses may be required for your design, we will discuss the costs of these with you for your consideration.

On completion of your website design you will be notified and have the opportunity to review it. Please let us know of any unsatisfactory points within 7 days of our request for you to review the website. Any of the work which has not been reported to us as unsatisfactory within the 7 day review period will be deemed to have been approved. Once approved, or deemed approved, the website design will be completed and the final invoice payment will be required.

Once final payment has been received, you will be provided with instructions to activate your website. We will then assist you with linking the website to your domain name, setting up email address/es and conducting final checks on the website functionality. Once complete, we will provide you with the login to your live website in order for you to manage, update and edit it as you see fit, with unlimited email support if you have questions.

From this point onwards, should you prefer us to make changes or updates to the website on your behalf, we are happy to provide these services - simply contact us and we will provide a quote to complete the work you need. Minor updates start from $29.00.

SEO

The process of search engine optimisation for your website is a ongoing process involving both the intial setup we complete for you as part of the done-for-you SEO and processes you complete such as adding new and original content, completing relevant directory listings etc. It may take anywhere from 2 months to 4 months to see improvements in your results on search engines depending upon many factors such as the competition, the size of your site etc.

We will at all times do our best to understand your needs and work with you to achieve results in terms of search engine rankings, but we do not guarantee ranking positions or consistency of rankings.  

A website search engine ranking can fluctuate on any given day, at any given time because of on-going changes in the ranking algorithm, SEO efforts made by the competitors or yourself, or both.

The following may affect your SEO rankings :

• Renaming, re-locating, adding or removing any file, folder or sub domain on a web server including web documents, robots.txt, .htacess file, sitemap.xml, rss.xml etc
• Changing the head section of a web page such as changing the title tag or certain tags required for website authentication
• Adding, removing or modifying content, functionality or a widget
• Changes in the anchor text (hyperlink text)
• Removing Google analytics / webmaster tools code from the web page
• Changes in the site architecture
• Renaming URLs of a web document
• Linking out to any website
• Taking down the website or part of the website.
