How working together works.
The plain-English version of the agreement behind every project. Each job also gets its own written quote confirming scope, price, and timings.
The demo
The first demo is built at no cost and with no obligation. It is a concept for you to react to, not a finished product. Until a project is agreed and paid for, demo designs and code remain mine, and demos of fictional businesses may also appear in my portfolio.
Quotes and payment
- Every project gets a fixed written quote before any paid work starts. No hourly billing, no surprise extras.
- The full build begins after the quote is accepted and payment is made, unless we agree a different schedule in writing.
- If the scope changes mid-project, we agree the change and any price difference before it is built.
What you own
Once a project is paid for, the finished website is yours: design, content we created for it, and the code that runs it. If I look after hosting for you, you can take the site elsewhere at any time and I will help it move.
What you provide
You are responsible for the accuracy of information about your business and for having the rights to any photos, logos, or text you supply. Anything a demo needs before then is placeholder material and gets replaced with your real content during refinement.
Aftercare
After launch you can choose ongoing care (small updates, keeping the site fast and healthy, for an agreed monthly amount) or a full handover. Neither option locks you in.
The sensible limits
I build carefully and test on real devices, but I cannot guarantee outcomes outside my control, such as search rankings, third-party service outages, or how much new business a site brings in. Liability for any project is limited to the amount paid for that project.
Last updated July 2026. These terms are a plain-English starting point, not a substitute for legal advice. The written quote for each project is the document that governs that project.
