The Website Development Cycle

Preparing for your Website | The Development Cycle | Pricing Options | Website Portfolio | Client List | T & Cs

1. The client makes an enquiry about a website stating the requirements.
2. I confirm that the enquiry has been received and advise on suitable options, cost and when work can begin.
3. The client agrees upon a commission by confirming the requirements, supplying me with any content (ie text, images, photos etc) required to carry out the commission and paying 50% of the cost upfront. After work commences this is non-refundable.
4. All content provided to myself for use/inclusion on your website must either be copyright free or be cleared with the copyright holder i.e images and text from a supplier's catalogue etc. I cannot accept any responsibility for copyright infringement except where I have sourced the images for a website.
5. I begin work and within 2-3 days of the agreed start date, upload a preliminary start page to my server for the client to view and comment upon.
6. Within a 2-4 week period the website is constructed on my server using feedback from the client. 1, 3 and 5 page websites are usually 'live' in about two weeks with larger sites taking a little longer dependant on the format of your content*.
7. When myself and the client are satisfied that the website meets the criteria agreed in the commissioning process, I will send an invoice for the remaining 50% to the client.
8. When payment has been received from the client, the website is published on the client's server.
