Details of the Work
You are hiring us, Skout Media, LLC, to design and develop a website for the estimated total price outlined above.
You certify that you have the power and ability to enter into this contract on behalf of your company or organization. You agree to provide us with everything that I need to complete the project, including text, images, fonts, and other information as and when we need it and in the format that we ask for. You agree to review our work, provide feedback, and sign-off approval promptly and are bound by any deadlines that we set together. You also agree to keep to the payment schedule set out in this proposal.
We have the experience and ability to perform the services you need, and we will carry them out in a professional and timely manner. We will endeavor to meet all the deadlines set but are not responsible for a missed launch date or deadlines if you have been late in supplying materials or have not approved our work on time at any stage. We will also maintain the confidentiality of any information that you give us.
We will create designs for the look, layout, and functionality of your website. This contract includes one main design and two opportunities for you to make revisions to the final design. If you are not happy with the design at that point, we will provide you with an additional quote for the extra design work needed. If you wish to cancel our agreement, you may do so, and we will retain the payments for the work completed to date.
Design Testing
We will test our designs in current versions of all major browsers, including those made by Apple, Microsoft, and Google. We also confirm sites look great on current iPhones, Androids, standard sized tablets, and computer monitors.
We will not test these templates in old or abandoned browsers, for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows or Mac, previous versions of Apple's Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Chrome unless otherwise agreed upon.
Text Content
We are not responsible for writing or inputting any text copy, unless copywriting is included in the pricing chart above. We will be happy to help, but significant work on our part will result in a charge above and beyond the original price. This will not be done without your approval of an additional quote provided in advance.
Photographs
If needed, you will supply us with photographs either in digital or printed format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, that price will be added to the initial quote. Stock photography will not be purchased without your written approval. You are also encouraged to check sites like Unsplash.com for royalty-free stock images.
Changes and Revisions
The estimate/quotation prices in this proposal are based on the time we estimate we will need to accomplish everything you have told us you want to achieve. If you want to change your mind, add extra pages, or even add new functionality, that won't be a problem. At that time, you will be provided with an additional quote for the extra work.
Technical Support
The quote provided includes the installation of your site on your server. Updates to and maintenance of that server, plus any support issues or integrations like Google Analytics, will be up to you unless you choose to purchase our site maintenance plan.
We do not offer or include technical support for website hosting, email, or other services relating to website maintenance unless you choose to purchase our site maintenance plan.
