SERVICES AGREEMENT

Web Design & Development

Thank you for choosing Hastytechie Design for your web design needs. We are so grateful to partner with you on this project and look forward to the fantastic work we’ll do together.

Client Agreement

By making your initial payment for your web design project with Hastytechie Design LLC, you, the “Client,” confirm that you agree to and are bound by the terms and conditions below.

Hastytechie Deliverables

Under this agreement, we shall provide you with the website design, development, and SEO services and deliverables as outlined in detail in your estimate. Please reference the invoice you received for your individualized list of services and deliverables as it pertains to your project.

Client Deliverables

Under this agreement, you shall provide us with the following deliverables:

Design Assets (existing logos/graphics etc.)
Design & Content Feedback & Approval
Existing Photos & Content
Availability for meetings/photo shoots etc.
Prompt and consistent communication on a weekly basis
Access to your domain

Expectations & Requirements

We consider this project a true partnership, and we are prepared to hold up our end of the deal.
We ask that you designate a dedicated person on your team who is responsible for providing content, photos, design assets, feedback, etc. weekly.
If we do not receive the requested items needed to keep the project moving, after ten business days your project will be archived. To re-open your project, we will re-price the estimated work to complete, give you a new estimated timeline, and/or charge a fee to re-open the project pending the amount of time it has remained archived or inactive.
If you wish to keep your project open indefinitely while you gather the necessary items, you can elect to do so by paying a monthly fee of 10% of the total project cost.
We have accounted for 2 rounds of design revisions (photos/layout/content/graphics etc.) per page. If your requests exceed this amount, you may be billed for the additional time required to complete the changes.
If there is a change in scope, and you would like to add on additional pages, content development, photography, integrations, SEO optimization etc. during the course of your website development process, we will re-price the project, and adjust the invoice to reflect those changes. All pricing is valid for 90 days, and will expire or need to be re-priced at the end of that time period.

Care Plans

Website migration and launch is included in your website estimate. We are happy to offer monthly website care plans that include ongoing maintenance, hosting, security and more. If you choose to migrate your site to a different hosting provider other than Hastytechie, and elect to perform care and maintenance tasks on your own, Hastytechie will not make any further updates to your site after the launch. If you request any updates to your site, you will be required to go on a care plan in order for our team to make those updates.

Payment

The budget for this project is outlined in detail, based on the estimated deliverables in your invoice. We require a 50% deposit on all work at the time of project kickoff, and will bill the remainder upon project conclusion.

Cancellation

This agreement remains in effect until either you or Hastytechie cancels it.

You may cancel this contract by providing 14 days notice via email. Should you decide to cancel this agreement, you acknowledge that no refunds will be given on amounts you have already paid.

Hastytechie reserves the right to cancel this agreement at any time, for any reason, and without prior notification. Should Hastytechie decide to cancel this agreement, you will be sent a cancellation notice via email.

Upon cancellation, you will be given the opportunity to migrate your site to your new hosting platform within 14 days.

If you have not migrated your site away from our servers by that time, Hastytechie reserves the right to discontinue your hosting, and your site will no longer be live.
