Website Design Terms of Service

If delays occur, the start and completion dates will be updated accordingly. The client agrees there will be one point of contact for decision making on changes or requests.

A site design mock up will be provided (If needed or excluding custom backend web development) and required for approval and sign off before the build process begins. This will include a mock up of the home page and one internal page as a guide for the design styling and branding guidelines. Quotation is based on up to 2 design revision alterations after the first presentation of the mock up design. Each revision of changes are to be made in bulk via the shared online Google task sheet. Additional revision changes are subject to additional costs. After the mock up design is approved, any major changes to the site design or theme after the site build has commenced, may incur additional charges.

Once the website is presented the client will have an opportunity for up to 3 alterations of basic layout of content or additional minor elements added, relocated or removed. Each revision of changes are to be made in bulk via the shared online Google task sheet. Additional revision changes are subject to additional costs.
Consultation time included in this project is based on a 1 hour strategy planning meeting and up to 3 hours of consultation time throughout the project. Consultation time includes both phone, email or in person meetings. We are flexible in most scenarios if issues arise.

Additional features requested after the date of quotation will be subject to additional charges and in some cases may not be possible due to technology limitations. Please ensure you have planned the website functionality requirements well before accepting this quotation.

Kick Media will implement all possible security measures however will not responsible if your website is hacked. An hourly rate of $155 per hour will be charged to fix any website hosting or hack related issues.

All sites completed will be optimised for speed, however requested plugins or previous site functionality transferred to a new site can result in a slower than normal site efficiency. Your existing hosting configuration can also affect site speeds. The client accepts that in some cases the solution may require new hosting or Cloudflare hosting to fix any speed issues.

Quotes include a basic level of onsite SEO optimisation and will factor in transfer and replication of the major onsite SEO factors from your existing website. All sites are built differently so the client accepts there is always a risk of SEO rankings being affected when building or replicating a new or existing site and Kick Media will not be liable. So far all new sites we have built have retained rankings or received an instant boost in SEO rankings directly after being built.

The client agrees to provide all body content and images requested for the new site prior to the estimated start date outlined in this agreement or unless purchasing our Website Transformation plan. Delays caused by the late submission of images or content will extend start and completion dates. If delays are caused due to late submission of any type of content; we may be required to prioritise new projects to start which could significantly delay new start dates, even if full payment has been made.

Any request to cancel after website production has begun will forfeit refunds on a portion of the total payment respective to the amount of work completed so far. Any website production and progress that is over 50% complete will not be eligible for refund. Any request to pause production on the website progress or launch date after a site completion has been presented for approval or feedback, will not be eligible for any refund.

The site progress will be presented up to 1 week prior to the estimated completion date. The client agrees to provide feedback on any final revision changes within 2 business days of the presented site progress or subsequent presented changes thereafter.
