All Affordable Web Design Ltd. custom websites are created in accordance with the wishes of the clients and as discussed during the initial meeting with the client. The price quoted is an estimated price only, and is based upon the time estimated as being needed for the completion of the website in accordance with the verbally-stated wishes and explanation of their needs by the client(s). . After completion, changes or additional requests will be accommodated but will be charged out at our normal hourly rate. Any errors or omissions on the part of Affordable Web Design Ltd. staff or contractors will be rectified at the expense of Affordable Web Design Ltd.
All Basic Business Bundle websites are created with the use of templates and do not contain any Search Engine Optimization processes. Their purpose is mainly to have a "presence only" website to which the client can drive their existing clients or clients obtained through other means such as advertising, business cards, etc.
Although we endeavor to stay within the time limit discussed during our initial meeting with all our clients, our originally quoted estimate is based on receiving all content, including general layout preference, text, images, graphics, etc, in an electronic format (e-mail or on CD or DVD) from the client and in a completely ready-to-use state. The time estimate also assumes receiving the content in an already structured division of pages (welcome page content, about us content, etc.).
It is our intent to create a professional-looking website for you, within your stated budget. However, Affordable Web Design Ltd. cannot be responsible for necessitating additional time to be taken due to unavailability of content, graphics, etc. from the client, or the receipt of text from the client where we must structure or add to the content. We will gladly help you with these items, but please be advised that this may possibly affect the overall time estimate initially given to you. If the timeframe is still within the originally quoted time, then there will be no additional cost for this service.
In order to be able to offer the lowest price possible on a professional-looking web design, Affordable Web Design uses pre-made professional-looking programs for navigation buttons. We will create hand-made navigation buttons based on a graphic of your choice upon request, but these take more time to create and will require additional time. For clients choosing the 10-hour minimal timeframe, these hand-made buttons are usually not possible to create within the 10-hour timeframe and almost always necessitate an additional time charge. Our pre-made navigation buttons are professional-looking and are used with great success for the vast majority of our clients.
In order to stay within the time limits as discussed, we wish to advise you that submitting text and images via email is a substantial time saver. If you do not have your text or photos in an electronic format, then please be advised that although in most cases written notes can be used by the designer, and photos can be scanned in and used in your website, these may in some cases take more time than the original estimate and could possibly necessitate an additional time charge.
We also offer photographic services where we visit your premises and take photos, or have a complete photo shoot at our offices, in order to use these photos on your website. This additional service is charged at our normal hourly rate. Although we are happy to share our photography at no cost to our current clients, Affordable Web Design Ltd. retains the copyright to all of our own photography.
The one-time cost of the web design does not include any future updating, changes, additions, or deletions. All such work is welcome but must be charged out at our usual hourly rate.
Setting up your email account on our server is included in the cost of hosting. Once we have set this up, we will email you the necessary access codes and server settings, so that you can set up your own personal computer. Please note that setting up your own computer is a normal function of personal computer knowledge and is not related to our services.
Consultation with regards to marketing help, or help with normal computer functions not related to web design, whether in person, via telephone, or via email, must also be charged out on an hourly basis. This includes technical support such as computer help, seting up of email programs on the client's own computer, assistance in content writing (if over the allotted time), etc.
Affordable Web Design Ltd. is not responsible for any follow up or changes which may need to be done with any third party such as another registrar or hosting service not affiliated with Affordable Web Design Ltd. We will gladly help those of our clients who may be unable to do such follow-up, but this consultation must be charged out at our usual hourly rate.
Any search engine optimization work incorporated into the website for the client is a one-time service only and is part of our initial web design fee. However, future code changes, updates or deletions must be charged out at our normal hourly rate.
Affordable Web Design Ltd. does their utmost to help our clients rank as highly as possible in the search engines; however, due to the vast number of variables present in internet searches, Affordable Web Design Ltd., as with all search engine optimization services, does not guarantee ranking, nor is it responsible for the appearance of information in the various search engines, which each have their own particular ways of retrieving information from a website and then displaying it.
Due to the nature of computers and computer equipment, although we will do our utmost to quickly resolve issues arising from any possible problems occurring with our affiliated server equipment when clients are hosted through us, Affordable Web Design Ltd. is not liable for any loss of business or other associated costs incurred due to third party equipment failure.
Affordable Web Design Ltd is in no way responsible or liable for any content, images, statements, etc, in any of our clients' websites. Affordable Web Design Ltd advises all clients that any images taken from internet sources may be subject to copyright and their use is the sole responsibility of the client.
With regards to images supplied by Affordable Web Design Ltd from their own stock of photos, Affordable Web Design Ltd is happy to share their own photographs with their clients, at no additional cost. However, copyright of all Affordable Web Design Ltd photos remains with Affordable Web Design Ltd. The use of these photos is strictly for the website created by Affordable Web Design Ltd for a particular client, for only as long as that client remains a web design client of Affordable Web Design Ltd. All other uses will be considered copyright infringement and are strictly forbidden.
In the case of photographs taken by Affordable Web Design Ltd staff or contractors for the express use in the website of a specific client, any and all use of any photos taken by Affordable Web Design Ltd must cease whenever that client ceases to be a client of Affordable Web Design Ltd. If however, the client wishes to continue using a specific image(s) taken specifically for them, they may purchase said image(s) and the copyright thereof for an agreed upon price. All other uses will be considered copyright infringement and are strictly forbidden.
