By purchasing one of our Ready to Go Websites or our Custom Websites, you (The Client) are agreeing to the terms and conditions outlined in this Website Design Agreement.

This Website Design Agreement (“Agreement”) is being made between The Client (that’s “You”) and Invested Web Solutions  (that’s “We” or “Us” or “The Designer”). Invested Web Solutions and The Client (You) may also be referred to as “Party” or together as the “Parties”.

Services

You want a website and We can’t wait to build it for You. We will provide You with the following services (“Services”) in a timely and professional manner. 

Description of the Services: The design process consists of three (3) phases: Research & Planning, Design & Build, and Polish, Review & Launch. In the Research and Planning phase, The Designer will do research on The Client’s field of service and industry in order to provide a fitting website for The Client. In the Design & Build phase The Designer will create digital artwork for the outlined webpages and integrate the images and text content. In the Polish, Review, & Launch phase The Designer will submit the website to The Client for final approval, setup Google Search Console, and setup Google Analytics (if applicable). 

The website will have the number of pages that We and The Client agree upon.  

The Designer will register the domain name for The Client’s website (if applicable). 

The Designer will provide web hosting for The Client’s website through a third-party hosting provider (if applicable). 

The Client will provide all text content and images/graphics to be used on the website to The Designer. If The Client is not able to provide images/graphics, We will use stock images instead. If The Client is not able to provide text content, We will provide text content at an additional rate of $100 per webpage (not including the Contact page).

The Designer will install WordPress and any other necessary plugins to accommodate the website. 

The Designer will build the WordPress website with a WordPress theme and Elementor page builder. 

The website will work will all Grade-A browsers as well as mobile devices. 

If You, The Client, decide You want to make any major changes to the Services listed above, don’t worry because We can change the scope of the Services for You at any time. To update the scope of the Services, all You have to do is let Us know what You would like to change by filling out a simple form called a “Change Order”. The Change Order will explain what You want Us to do differently. If the new Services are going to require a bit more work for Us, then both Parties will have to agree in writing to an updated cost for the Services. 

Speaking of costs… 

Cost & Payment

The cost for the website design services is dictated by the number of pages that the website will have. This price for the website design services is reflected on our website (investedwebsolutions.com) when The Client selects the website details that they want. After The Client selects the details of their website design service, and they view the total price, they are required to immediately pay 25% of the total price as a down payment. The completion of this down payment schedules The Client’s website design services and opts The Client and Invested Web Solutions into this Website Design Agreement. The next 25% of the total price is due once the initial mock up design is approved by The Client. The remaining 50% of the total price is due once the website Services are completed and The Client’s website is launched.

Payments will be due 14 days after each invoice is sent.

We will send an invoice to The Client for each payment to be made via email or The Client may opt-in for automatic monthly payments. Payments will be made by The Client using a credit card or debit card.

All payments are non-refundable.

Timeline

To complete the Services listed above, We, The Designer, will need around 3 weeks from beginning to end, not including any delays in feedback or approval of materials from You, The Client. If The Client delays or fails in providing Us with the necessary content to design the website or approve the design, We will not be held accountable for failing to meet the deadline. The estimated timeline is as follows: 

Research & Planning: 3-4 business days 

Design & Build Website: 6-7 business days 

Polish, Review & Launch Website: 4-5 business days 

Please note: The timeline for our Ready to Go Website services can be much shorter in length because the amount of work involved is drastically reduced.

Revisions

The Client is entitled to 2 revisions of the website design. Any revisions beyond the 2 will be charged at an agreed upon price between The Client and Invested Web Solutions.

Client Acknowledgements

The Client acknowledges that if We create a new website for You or redesign The Client’s current website, Invested Web Solutions does not guarantee any specific results concerning search engine position/rankings or website traffic.
