Projects, Technology, Websites

You , (“You”) are hiring us (“We or Us”) to:

Design and develop a website or specific technology

For the estimated total price as outlined in our previous correspondence and invoice.

Of course, it’s a little more complicated, but we’ll get to that.

What do both parties agree to?

You: You have the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of yourself, your company, or your organization. You’ll give us the assets and information we tell you we need to complete the project. You’ll do this when we ask and provide it in the formats we ask for. You’ll review our work, and provide feedback and approval in a timely manner too. Deadlines work two ways, so you’ll also be bound by the dates we set together. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.

Us: We have the experience and ability to do everything we’ve agreed with you and we’ll do it all in a professional and timely manner. We’ll endeavor to meet every deadline that’s set and on top of that, we’ll maintain the confidentiality of everything you give us. This contract gives us permission to add you to our weekly email list so you can stay up to date on opportunities to help your business grow and thrive. Unsubscribing is available at any time.
Getting down to the nitty-gritty

Getting down to the nitty-gritty

DESIGN

We create designs that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. We create them iteratively and use predominantly HTML and CSS so we won’t waste time mocking up every template as a static visual. We may use visuals to indicate a creative direction (color, texture, and typography.) We call that ‘atmosphere.’

You’ll have two viewing opportunities to review our work and provide feedback (draft and final draft meetings.) We’ll either share a Google Drive folder or development site with you and we’ll have regular, possibly daily contact by either phone, email, or Zoom. At a minimum of 2 days before the final launch of your website, we will do a FULL website design review with you over Zoom. This will be recorded so our design teams and staff can watch/re-watch all your feedback, requests, take notes, and implement all your requests in a timely manner to your specifications. Each website design project comes with three 30 minutes to 1-hour consultations. A discovery consultation to kick-off the project and get all details and goals for design, a draft review of website mock-up done in jpg before design for projects is converted to HTML (limited to projects that are custom developed), and a final draft review of the website before launch. Extra design meetings are always available a la carte pricing to be added to your scope starting at $300 per hour.

Any cancellation or rescheduling meetings made in less than 24 hours will result in a cancellation fee. Missed appointments, or appointments canceled without 24-hour notice, will incur a fee of $100. Current client office hours are Tuesday – Friday 10 am – 4 pm PST. If you are more than 10 minutes late for your appointment or meeting, we may not be able to accommodate you. In this case, the same cancellation fee will apply. We will do our very best to reschedule your service for another time that is convenient to you. We require a credit card on file and cancellation fees will be charged to your card on file. In the event of a true, unavoidable emergency, all or part of your cancellation fee may be applied to future services used within the following 30 days.

If—at any stage—you change your mind about what you want to be delivered or aren’t happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us in full for the time we’ve spent working until that point and may terminate this contract. For Example, Projects are broken down into three timelines: 7 days, 14 days, and 30+ days. Example: Project on 30+ days for $15,500, and the project ended on day 25 – 5 days refund will be returned. This has never happened but just in case please allow banks a few days (usually between 2-15) to receive the digital money transfer based on their internal systems. After 30 days of any project, no refunds will be given.

For monthly payments, refunds are not issued for the current monthly cycle however no further charges will be made. For monthly payments on support, 3-year-long or pre-paid services will not be refunded. Your website will be suspended at the end of the current pay cycle and removed from all servers and backup servers. Invoices outstanding for over 5 days are subject to a 28% late payment penalty fee and the website will be temporarily suspended until full payment is received.

We are 100% focused on your satisfaction and view our job as taking the frustration, fear, and the unknown out of building a website and empower, thrill, and delight our clients with a new website they can share with their clients, friends, and family. We want every interaction to make you feel heard, understood, and excited for your new website.

We are proud to be a small business supporting other small businesses in our community.

TEXT CONTENT

Unless agreed separately, we’re not responsible for creating text or images for the content on your website. We provide professional copywriting and editing services, so if you’d like us to create new content or input content for you, we’ll provide a separate estimate.

GRAPHICS AND PHOTOGRAPHS

You should supply graphics files in an editable, digital format. You should supply photographs in a high-resolution digital format no more than 100Kb each. If you choose to buy stock photographs, we can suggest stock libraries. If you’d like us to search for photographs for you, we can provide a separate estimate.

HTML, CSS AND JAVASCRIPT

We deliver pages developed from HTML markup, CSS stylesheets for styling and unobtrusive JavaScript for behaviors.

BROWSER TESTING

Browser testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in browsers of different capabilities or on devices with different size screens. It does mean ensuring that a person’s experience of a design should be appropriate to the capabilities of a browser or device.

We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), We won’t test in other older browsers or Microsoft Edge unless we agree separately. If you need an enhanced design for an older browser or restricted settings, we can provide a separate estimate for that starting at $1500 + monthly maintenance.

MOBILE BROWSER TESTING

Testing using popular smaller screen devices is essential in ensuring that a person’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device they’re using. We test our designs in:

iOS: Safari and Google Chrome

Android: Google Chrome

We won’t test or support in Opera Mini/Mobile, Microsoft Edge, specific Android devices, or other mobile browsers unless we agreed separately. If you need us to test using these, we can provide a separate estimate.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

We are happy to provide technical support for outside companies and networks.
However, please don’t ask us to fix your router at the office, internet or network connection issues, firewall settings, or figure out why your printer doesn’t work. We require your website site on our secure VPS servers, plus any statistics software such as Google Analytics, and such will provide a separate estimate for that.

Also, note we can not technically support 3rd party software. (IE: Mailchimp or Membership Pro.)

However, we are happy to sit on hold with your technical support teams and deal with them on your behalf and can provide an estimate if needed. We offer support for 5xx error issues that are our hosting server-side only. 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx are common client-side errors, please log into your client portal to see our suggested guides on how to fix these common issues or contact your internet provider for more support.

After the website project has been completed, approved, and launched, Easy As Pie Design will back up the design & development files of the client’s website and will be automatically backed up on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis based on ongoing maintenance or support package purchased. If the client would like a copy of the most recent backup please send an inquiry at support@EasyAsPieDesign.com and we would be happy to email you a zip file for your records.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

We don’t guarantee improvements to your website’s search engine ranking, but the pages that we develop are accessible to search engines. We do have service offerings to help you increase your SEO rankings either through consultations, of what you can do every day, or by creating a roadmap for you to follow over a minimum of 36 months. (We highly suggest if you are looking to be #1 on google to work with us (or another company) to create a long-term strategy with KPIs and be diligent in this task.) Please see the terms of service and contract requirements below for SEO + PPC.

CHANGES AND REVISIONS

We don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind. The price at the beginning of this contract is based on the number of days or weeks that we estimate we’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told us you want to achieve, but we’re happy to be flexible. Each design comes with 1 draft review which includes one website content update and 1 final review, which also includes minor content revisions done together on Zoom. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, before or after launch that is outside the original scope of the project that won’t be a problem as we’ll provide a separate estimate for those additional days/weeks.

LEGAL STUFF

We’ll carry out our work in accordance with good industry practice and at the standard expected from a suitably qualified person with relevant experience. That said, we can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free and so we can’t be liable to you or any third party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings, or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised us of them.

Your liability to us will also be limited to the number of fees payable under this contract and you won’t be liable to us or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings, or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if we’ve advised you of them.

Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason is unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Phew.
