DESIGN
We create look-and-feel designs, and flexible layouts that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. We create designs iteratively and use predominantly HTML and CSS so we won’t waste time mocking up every template as a static visual. We may use static visuals to indicate a look-and-feel direction (color, texture and typography.) We call that ‘design atmosphere.’You’ll have two or more weekly opportunities to review our work and provide feedback. If, at any stage, you’re not happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us a “Kill Fee” of half of the total project cost and cancel this contract.
PHOTOGRAPHS/ VIDEOS
You should supply Media files in an editable, vector digital format. You should supply photographs/videos in a high resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs/videos, we can suggest stock libraries. If you’d like us to search or shoot new photographs/videos for you, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
CONTINGENCY/ WEATHER/DUE DATE
A contingency day is any day where a scheduled media/film shooting has been prevented from occurring due to circumstances beyond the control of the production company.These circumstances may include but should not be limited to: (1) Weather conditions (rain, fog, sleet, hail, or any adverse condition that is not consistent with the prescribed shooting conditions desired by the Client).(2) Injury, illness, or absence of client-supplied elements (e.g. key talent, props and so on).(3) “Client issued Re-Shoots” (any additional days for a job insured by the Client, who is therefore authorizing the expenditure). The Client should be provided with a contingency day cost which should be approved prior to proceeding with that shoot day.(4) Designer has the right to not shoot or work on any Holidays or Time off regardless of the deadline. Any Due Dates not met because of these circumstances will not be the responsibility of the Designer.
CHANGES / REVISIONS
We know from experience that fixed-price contracts are rarely beneficial to you, as they often limit you to your earliest ideas. We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind. The price at the beginning of this contract is based on the length of time we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told us you want to achieve, but we’re happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that won’t be a problem as we’ll provide a separate estimate for that.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
We’re not a website hosting company so we don’t offer support for website hosting, email or other services relating to hosting. You may already have professional hosting and you might even manage that hosting in-house; if you do, great. If you don’t, we can set up an account for you at one of our preferred hosting providers. We can set up your site on a server, plus any statistics software such as Google Analytics and we can provide a separate estimate for that. Then, the updates to, and management of that server or website will be up to you.
