Website Design and Development Terms

Scope and content

The proposal identifies the pages, templates, integrations, content allowance and functionality included. Copywriting, photography, data entry, product population, migrations and legal drafting are included only where expressly listed.

Design and approvals

The client must review designs, content and functionality within the agreed review period. Approval may be recorded by email, project system or continued instruction. Later changes may be treated as additional work.

WordPress and third-party tools

Projects may use WordPress, WooCommerce, plugins, themes, APIs, hosting and other third-party services. Those providers may change pricing, features or compatibility. We are not responsible for third-party changes but can quote for reasonable remediation or replacement work.

Testing and launch

The website is tested against the agreed browsers, devices and functionality. The client is responsible for final checking of prices, contact details, legal content, product information and business claims. Launch may depend on domain access, DNS, hosting, payment accounts and third-party approval.

Ownership and handover

After full payment, the client receives the agreed access and rights to the finished website. Reusable development tools and licensed third-party components are not transferred beyond their applicable licence. The client should keep administrator credentials secure and maintain backups after handover unless maintenance is included.

SEO and performance

Technical foundations and on-page structure can support search visibility and performance, but no specific ranking, traffic, revenue or conversion result is guaranteed. Results also depend on competition, content, authority, tracking, hosting and ongoing activity.

Warranty and maintenance

Any included post-launch defect period covers faults against the agreed specification, not new features, content changes, misuse, third-party updates or work by others. Ongoing updates, security monitoring and support require a separate maintenance arrangement unless included in the proposal.
