DM agrees to:

• Provide a contact to answer any company related questions as needed in relation to content / desired information on the website.

  Both parties agree to:

  How it works:

1. On payment of the initial payment in full, three things happen:
   1. DM set a date to “Go Live” which will be within 28 days of initial payment unless otherwise stated.
   2. DM will create a ‘mockup design’ with The Client’s design as per Website Agreement.
   3. The Client needs to get all graphics and content for About, Contact and Home pages to DM within 3 days of initial payment if they are to be added by DM.
2. Once The Client’s mockup design has been agreed upon, The Client will be asked to confirm in writing that the design is satisfactory and DM will then complete the design.
3. Once the design mockup is submitted to The Client, The Client has 3 days to notify DM of any changes required. After this time it will be understood that the design phase is complete and that The Client has accepted the design as satisfactory and DM will move on to the next stage.
4. The Client now forwards required progress payment/s.
5. DM will now add content for the Home, About & Contact pages. If DM is transferring content from The Client’s previous website to The Client’s new website, this will now be completed.
6. The Client will start adding new content to the website.
7. Once the website is completed, The Client has 3 days to check the site for errors and notify DM of any minor changes that are required within the scope of the Website Agreement.
8. Once The Client’s website is complete The Client will be required to make any and all final payments, which are due 24 hours before the site is to “Go Live”
9. If the balance owing is not paid by the live date, DM may take the site off the internet until such time as payment is made in full. If this occurs, The Clients access to the site will be restricted.
10. During development of the website, monthly hosting payments are required to be paid, on time.
11. Should any payment not be made in a timely manner within the timeframe given, work on the website may cease.
12. Should development be delayed past the Go Live date due to client for any reason, or should payments cease or not be made by their due date, the website may be taken off the internet and placed on DM development servers, and the project placed on hold.
13. Should the website be placed on our development servers due to client delays, a monthly holding fee of$250.00 will be charged to maintain the site on our development servers until such time as the website is complete and site is “Go Live”.
14. Should the website be placed on our development servers due to client delays, a reinstatement fee of $350.00 will be charged for DM to recommence and complete the project. This amount must be paid for in full prior to work commencing.

After Completion of Website:

Once the website is complete and all final payments have been made, any and all changes required to the website will be subject to a fee for work required.

A written quote will be supplied to The Client via email by DM.  The Client will reply to the email, signifying agreement of the fees.

The Client will forward the required deposit or payment to DM prior to commencement of work.
