Service Overview

Create, customize, or redesign a WordPress website to align with your business objectives, brand identity, visual preferences, and functional requirements.

Whether you need a new website, a refreshed design for an existing site, improved page layouts, or additional functionality, the work is tailored to the requirements confirmed before development begins.

Themes, Page Builders, and Plugins

Depending on the existing website configuration and project requirements, the work may involve compatible tools and extensions from the following categories:

• Page Builders: Divi Builder, Elementor, Oxygen, and other compatible visual editing tools.
• E-commerce: WooCommerce and supported store extensions.

These are examples of potentially supported tools, not a guarantee that every listed product or feature is included in the service price. Compatibility depends on software versions, hosting resources, active licenses, existing customizations, third-party requirements, and the scope of the project.

Website Redesign and Existing Site Customization

For existing WordPress websites, the service may involve reviewing the current theme, page builder, content structure, installed plugins, and relevant design settings before making the agreed changes.

The work may focus on selected pages or components rather than the entire website. Unless a full redesign is specifically included, existing content and functionality outside the agreed scope may remain unchanged.

Changes to themes, page builders, plugins, or custom CSS can affect existing layouts and functionality. Where appropriate, a backup should be created before substantial changes are made. Backup creation, website restoration, data recovery, and repair of unrelated pre-existing issues are not included unless expressly agreed.

Custom CSS and Theme Modifications

Custom CSS and supported theme settings may be used to refine the website’s visual presentation, including typography, colors, spacing, navigation, buttons, responsive behavior, and other page components.

The extent of customization depends on the selected theme, page builder, existing code, and requested changes. Some requirements may need custom PHP, JavaScript, template modifications, or other development beyond CSS. Any substantial additional development will be assessed against the agreed scope before implementation.

Changes should be made using appropriate customization methods where possible to reduce conflicts with future theme or plugin updates. However, compatibility with every future software update cannot be guaranteed.

E-commerce and Third-Party Integrations

Where included in the project scope, the service may configure WooCommerce or compatible extensions to support product presentation, cart functionality, checkout settings, and selected store integrations.

Other supported integrations may include contact and subscription forms, email marketing tools, analytics platforms, social media features, video embeds, and payment services. Their implementation depends on the availability of suitable plugins, account access, API credentials, subscription plans, and provider requirements.

Payment processing, merchant account approval, transaction settlement, third-party service availability, and compliance decisions remain subject to the relevant providers. Website customization does not guarantee payment processor approval, sales, conversions, or business performance.

Marketing, Tracking, and Consent Requirements

When requested and included in the agreed scope, supported tracking tools such as Meta Pixel or analytics integrations may be configured to collect website interaction data.

The customer is responsible for determining the applicable privacy, cookie, advertising, and consent requirements for their business and audience. Any required privacy notices, consent management tools, or related compliance features should be identified during project planning. Installation of a tracking tool does not by itself establish legal compliance or guarantee accurate tracking across every browser or device.

Performance Optimization

Where performance improvements are included, the work may involve reviewing common issues such as oversized images, unnecessary plugin overhead, caching configuration, and other settings supported by the existing hosting environment.

The specific measures depend on the website’s technical condition and available resources. Results may vary according to hosting performance, theme and plugin behavior, third-party scripts, content size, and network conditions. Specific speed scores, search rankings, or performance outcomes are not guaranteed unless a clearly defined and measurable target has been separately agreed.

Development Process

The project generally follows these stages:

1. Project Assessment: Review the website’s objectives, current setup, design references, required pages, and requested functionality.
2. Design and Structure: Establish the agreed visual direction, page layouts, navigation, and content organization.
3. Implementation: Configure the selected theme and page builder, develop the agreed pages, apply styling adjustments, and implement included features.
4. Integration and Configuration: Set up the agreed plugins, forms, e-commerce components, tracking tools, or other supported integrations.
5. Responsive and Functional Testing: Review key layouts and test the configured features across supported screen sizes and the available testing environment.
6. Final Review: Address relevant issues identified during the included checks and prepare the completed work for handover.

The process may be adjusted for projects involving an existing website, complex integrations, or specific technical dependencies. Customer feedback, access availability, and third-party response times may affect the schedule.

Project Requirements and Customer Responsibilities

Customers should provide the information and resources needed to complete the agreed work, which may include:

• A description of the website’s purpose, intended audience, and business requirements.
• The list of pages, features, and specific changes requested.
• Design references, brand guidelines, logo files, colors, and other visual assets.
• Website copy, images, product information, and other content to be incorporated.
• Appropriate access to the WordPress dashboard, hosting environment, or relevant third-party services.
• Valid licenses and account access for premium themes, plugins, builders, or integrations where required.
• Timely feedback, approvals, and decisions at relevant project stages.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that the content, images, software, and other materials they provide are accurate and authorized for use. Delays in providing required materials, access, or approvals may affect the project timeline.

Project Scope, Revisions, and Additional Work

The agreed scope should identify the expected deliverables, pages or components to be modified, included features, and any applicable revision allowance. The number of revisions and the completion timeline depend on the selected service option and the project agreement.

Requests for new pages, substantial redesigns, additional integrations, new functionality, or changes to previously approved requirements may be treated as additional work. If additional work is needed, the proposed changes, applicable fees, and any schedule adjustments will be communicated for approval before proceeding.

Unlimited revisions, ongoing development, and requests outside the confirmed scope are not automatically included.

Service Limitations and Exclusions

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

• Unlimited page creation, design revisions, or ongoing development.
• Complete website rebuilding when only selected pages or components are covered.
• Custom plugin development or complex software applications requiring separate assessment.
• Professional copywriting, translation, photography, video production, or extensive content entry.
• Hosting, domain registration, premium themes, paid plugins, or third-party subscription fees.
• Website migration, advanced server configuration, email migration, or domain transfers.
• Malware removal, security incident response, or extensive repair of unrelated pre-existing problems.
• Ongoing maintenance, scheduled backups, security monitoring, or future updates.
• Legal, tax, privacy, accessibility, or regulatory certification and professional advice.
• Guaranteed search rankings, website traffic, sales, conversion rates, or payment processor approval.

If a requested feature is technically infeasible, incompatible with the existing environment, or outside the confirmed scope, the available alternatives and any additional requirements will be discussed before further work proceeds.

Third-Party Software and Licensing

The project may rely on themes, plugins, page builders, fonts, stock assets, APIs, or other third-party resources. Some resources are available without charge, while others require paid licenses, subscriptions, or renewals.

Unless explicitly stated in the order, the service fee does not include third-party purchases or recurring fees. Customers are responsible for maintaining the licenses and accounts needed for continued use after handover.

Third-party products remain subject to their respective terms, limitations, update schedules, and support arrangements. Changes made by external providers may affect functionality or compatibility after the project is completed.

Security, Privacy, and Website Access

Website customization may require access to administrative accounts, hosting environments, or third-party services. Customers should provide only the access necessary to perform the agreed work and use secure methods to share credentials.

Customers remain responsible for ongoing website administration, domain and hosting accounts, software subscriptions, and account security unless a separate arrangement has been agreed. Temporary access should be reviewed and revoked when no longer required.

Development and customization do not guarantee that a website will remain free from vulnerabilities, unauthorized access, interruptions, or issues caused by hosting providers and third-party software.

Deliverables and Handover

Deliverables may include the completed or customized WordPress pages, agreed theme and layout adjustments, included plugin configurations, and the functionality specifically identified in the project scope.

The final work is made available through the agreed WordPress environment or another agreed digital handover method. Access credentials, custom code files, documentation, or training are provided only to the extent specified in the order.

Once the included work is completed, ongoing maintenance, hosting, software updates, additional changes, and technical support remain separate unless expressly included.

Scheduling and Completion Time

Project timing depends on the selected service option, website complexity, number of pages, requested features, existing technical condition, and availability of customer-provided content and access.

The expected completion timeframe should be confirmed before work begins. Delays may occur if access is unavailable, approvals are pending, third-party services require additional configuration, or unforeseen technical issues arise.

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

Digital Service Delivery

This is a digital WordPress design, development, and customization service. No physical product is supplied or shipped.

Delivery takes place remotely through website design, configuration, development, and electronic handover of the agreed work. Depending on the project, the completed work may be implemented directly within the customer’s WordPress environment or provided through another agreed digital method.

Customers are responsible for maintaining the hosting, domain, licenses, and third-party accounts needed to operate the website after completion.

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 customization involves project-specific work, the stage of completion, work already performed, and agreed deliverables 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.

If the delivered work materially differs from the agreed scope, customers should provide a clear description of the issue and relevant supporting information for review. Any remedy or refund will be assessed under the applicable policy and law. Nothing in this section limits rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Scope Confirmation Before Ordering

Before placing an order, customers should confirm that the selected service option covers their required pages, design changes, integrations, functionality, expected deliverables, and revision allowance.

Projects involving complex custom development, substantial changes to an existing website, premium software, or specialized third-party integrations may require clarification before purchase. Confirming these requirements in advance helps establish realistic expectations for delivery, costs, and the work included.
