Platform Options

WordPress: Suitable for business websites, blogs, service-based websites, content management, portfolios, and online stores using compatible e-commerce plugins. WordPress provides flexibility for page customization, content organization, and supported third-party integrations.

Shopify: Suitable for online stores that need product catalog management, inventory-related features, shopping cart functionality, checkout configuration, and compatible store applications. Available functionality depends on the selected Shopify plan, theme, apps, and platform capabilities.

Platform Selection: The recommended platform depends on the purpose of the website, required features, content management preferences, e-commerce needs, available integrations, and ongoing maintenance considerations. The platform and core project requirements should be confirmed before development starts.

Supported Integrations

Depending on the selected platform, technical compatibility, and agreed scope, the website may incorporate supported tools and integrations such as:

• Social Media: Social profile links, content embeds, and supported social sharing features.
• Contact Forms: Contact forms, inquiry forms, and other supported form-based features.
• Analytics: Compatible website analytics and visitor measurement tools when the customer supplies the necessary account access and configuration details.
• Marketing Tools: Supported newsletter signup forms, marketing integrations, and promotional features.
• E-commerce Tools: Compatible product management, payment gateway, shipping configuration, and store-related applications where applicable.
• Media and Galleries: Image galleries, video embeds, and other supported media presentation features.
• Search and Navigation: Platform-supported search, menus, filters, and content navigation features.
• Other Compatible Extensions: Additional plugins or apps may be considered when they meet the project requirements and are compatible with the selected platform.

Third-party integrations may require separate accounts, subscriptions, API credentials, configuration by the provider, or additional fees. Integration availability and functionality depend on the relevant provider’s terms, service availability, and technical limitations.

Project Scope and Deliverables

Before development begins, the project scope should identify the selected platform, approximate number of pages, required features, design direction, content responsibilities, and expected handover arrangements.

Deliverables may include the configured website, agreed pages and layouts, included functionality, and access or handover instructions appropriate to the project. The precise deliverables depend on the purchased service package and the requirements confirmed before work starts.

Additional pages, substantial design changes, advanced functionality, custom integrations, or requests outside the agreed scope may require a separate quote or service order.

Customer Requirements

To support an efficient development process, the customer may need to provide:

• The business or project name and a description of the website’s purpose.
• Logo files, brand guidelines, preferred colors, and design references, if available.
• Approved website copy, images, product information, and other required content.
• Access to the relevant WordPress installation, Shopify store, hosting account, domain settings, or other systems when necessary.
• Details of required pages, integrations, store settings, and other requested functionality.
• Any required third-party accounts, licenses, subscriptions, or credentials needed for the agreed implementation.
• Timely feedback and approvals at agreed project milestones.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that materials and information they provide are accurate and that they have the necessary rights or permissions to use them.

Development Process

The project generally follows these stages, adjusted to the size and complexity of the order:

• 1. Requirements Review: Confirm the website’s purpose, selected platform, page structure, visual direction, and required features.
• 2. Planning and Setup: Review the available website environment and prepare the agreed structure and development approach.
• 3. Design and Development: Build the agreed pages, configure the platform, apply the approved styling, and implement included features.
• 4. Content and Integration Setup: Place supplied content and configure compatible integrations covered by the project scope.
• 5. Review and Testing: Check key pages, navigation, responsive presentation, and agreed functionality within the available testing environment.
• 6. Handover: Provide the agreed completion information and access arrangements once the included work has been completed.

The sequence and level of review may vary depending on the project scope, customer response times, third-party dependencies, and the availability of the required website environment.

Responsive Design and Functional Testing

The website will be designed to adapt to common desktop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes. Testing may include checking page layouts, menus, links, forms, product pages, and other features included in the agreed scope.

Responsive design does not guarantee identical appearance across every device, browser, operating system, or screen resolution. Testing is limited to the available environment and the agreed features. Third-party services, browser updates, hosting restrictions, and external platform changes may affect how certain functions operate.

E-commerce and Payment Configuration

For projects that include online store functionality, the service may cover configuration of supported product pages, shopping cart settings, checkout options, and compatible payment or shipping integrations, as specifically agreed.

Payment processing is provided by the relevant payment service provider. Approval of a merchant account, acceptance of a website by a payment processor, transaction settlement, and ongoing compliance with provider requirements are not guaranteed by website development alone.

Payment gateway availability, transaction fees, account eligibility, shipping rules, taxes, and other commercial settings may depend on the customer’s provider accounts, location, subscription plan, and applicable requirements.

Third-Party Themes, Plugins, and Apps

The website may use compatible themes, plugins, Shopify apps, fonts, stock media, or other third-party resources where included in the agreed scope. Some resources are free, while others require paid licenses, subscriptions, or ongoing renewal fees.

Unless expressly stated in the service scope, third-party purchases, premium subscriptions, paid licenses, and external service fees are not included in the service price. The customer is responsible for maintaining any accounts or licenses required for continued use after handover.

The functionality, support, updates, availability, and future compatibility of third-party products remain subject to their respective providers.

Service Limitations and Exclusions

Unless expressly included in the agreed project scope, this service does not automatically include:

• Custom software applications or complex functionality requiring separate development.
• Unlimited pages, revisions, design changes, or ongoing development work.
• Professional copywriting, translation, photography, video production, or extensive content creation.
• Paid themes, premium plugins, Shopify app subscriptions, stock assets, or third-party service fees.
• Hosting, domain registration, business email, or other recurring infrastructure costs.
• Advanced search engine optimization, paid advertising, or guaranteed search rankings and traffic.
• Legal, tax, privacy, accessibility, or regulatory certification and professional advice.
• Payment processor approval, merchant account approval, or guaranteed sales and conversion results.
• Ongoing maintenance, security monitoring, backups, malware removal, or post-handover technical support beyond the agreed service.
• Migration of large or complex websites, historical databases, email accounts, or third-party systems unless specifically agreed.

If a requested feature is outside the original scope or cannot be implemented with the selected platform and available resources, the requirements and any additional cost will be discussed before the additional work proceeds.

Security, Privacy, and Access

Website development may require access to customer accounts, website administration, hosting environments, or third-party services. Customers should provide only the access necessary to complete the agreed work and should use secure methods to share credentials.

The customer remains responsible for ownership and administration of their domain, hosting, platform subscriptions, payment accounts, and other business services unless a different arrangement is expressly agreed. Customers should review access permissions and change or revoke temporary credentials when appropriate after handover.

Security depends on many factors, including hosting configuration, software updates, account security, third-party components, and ongoing maintenance. Website development does not by itself guarantee that a website will be free from vulnerabilities, interruptions, or unauthorized access.

Website Ownership and Handover

Upon completion and satisfaction of the applicable payment terms, the customer will receive the agreed website deliverables and handover access, subject to the ownership rights and license conditions of any third-party components.

Customer-provided content and materials remain subject to the customer’s rights and responsibilities. Third-party themes, plugins, apps, fonts, and other licensed resources remain subject to their original license terms.

Any transfer of source files, custom code documentation, administrative credentials, or additional project materials will follow the deliverables explicitly included in the order. Ongoing hosting, maintenance, software updates, and support are not included unless separately agreed.

Scheduling and Completion Time

The expected project timeline depends on the selected service package, website size, complexity, required integrations, availability of content and access credentials, and the time needed for customer reviews or approvals.

A delivery estimate should be confirmed for the specific order before development begins. Work may take longer if required information is missing, the project scope changes, technical issues arise, or third-party providers delay access or configuration.

The project is considered ready for handover when the agreed deliverables have been completed and the included checks have been performed, subject to any outstanding customer dependencies or separately documented items.

Additional Work and Scope Changes

Requests made after the project scope has been confirmed may be treated as additional work when they involve new pages, substantial redesigns, new integrations, expanded functionality, or changes to previously approved requirements.

Where additional work is necessary, the proposed changes, applicable fees, and revised timeline will be communicated for approval before proceeding. Work not included in the original order will not be assumed to be part of the service automatically.

Digital Service Delivery

This is a digital website design and development service. No physical product is shipped. Service delivery takes place through online communication, work performed within the agreed development environment, and electronic handover of the completed website or applicable deliverables.

Depending on the project, delivery may involve publishing or configuring the website on the customer’s platform, providing administrative access, sharing handover instructions, or making agreed files available electronically.

The customer is responsible for ensuring that the required hosting, domain, platform account, and other dependencies are available when needed for delivery.

Cancellation and Refunds

Cancellation and refund requests are handled in accordance with the applicable service terms and refund policy presented at the time of purchase.

Because website design and development involves project-specific work, the stage of completion, work already performed, deliverables prepared, and any applicable legal requirements may be relevant when reviewing a request. Customers should contact support promptly if they wish to cancel an order or raise a concern about the service.

Where a delivered service materially differs from the agreed scope, the customer should provide a clear description of the issue and relevant supporting information so the matter can be reviewed. Any remedy or refund will be assessed under the applicable policy and law. No statement in this section excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Scope Confirmation Before Ordering

Customers should review the selected package and confirm that the platform, number of pages, required features, expected deliverables, and project requirements are suitable before placing an order.

If a project requires specialized functionality, complex integrations, a large amount of content, or technical arrangements that are not clearly covered by the selected package, clarification should be obtained before purchase. This helps establish realistic expectations regarding deliverables, scheduling, and any additional work that may be required.
