Details of Web Designs by Kate

Fees for Services: $50.00 per hour or Proposal Fee

BUSINESS HOURS:  9am - 4pm MST

Needs Assessment:
Click into our Web Design Needs Assessment page to discern what you really need in a website.

May I be of Service as your WebMaster?
After looking over the needs assessment checklist and filling out our form, a phone consultation between myself and the client will be scheduled to initiate the webdesign creation process.  The consultation will allow us to tweak the website requirements and to fully discern if I may be of service to the potential client.  Once a working relationship is established and I understand the full scope of website requirements, I will generate and submit a proposal outlining the complete scope of work.

Upon acceptance of the proposal, seventy-five percent of the proposal amount is due previous to beginning work. All content text, images, etc must be provided as soon as possible by the client. Typically a new website is online for review within seven days from receipt of initial payment. The client must then review the new website and work with the webmaster (me) to fine-tune the website and fulfill the scope of work. The fine-tuning time frame is seven to fourteen days. Upon completion of the scope of work the final twenty-five percent of the proposal is due.

Every effort is made to create the website and internet presence the client desires and complete the scope of work within fourteen - thirty days. This will be determined by how quickly the website can be reviewed by the client to initiate changes.

In the event the client does not provide all necessary information to complete the website within sixty days of initiation, the final payment of twenty-five percent will become due and maintenance fees will apply to perform any further work on the website.

The proposal will include:
  Detailed scope of web design work
  Proposal Fee
  Any options that may be on the table (adds) and the fee for them
  A tentative time frame schedule to complete the website
  Maintenance work description, payment structure and fees for it
  Hosting fee, payment structure and when the fee will begin

Additional Notes

  All payments must be made through PayPal unless other arrangements are made.
