Terms

These terms summarize how I work. Each project is also covered by a signed agreement.

Estimates & Scope

Every project starts with a free custom estimate based on page count, whether the site needs to connect to other services or store information, and what it needs to do. That estimate becomes a written agreement describing exactly what's being built. Anything not listed in that agreement is out of scope and would be handled as a separate, additional agreement.

Payment

Projects require a 30% deposit before work begins, with the remaining 70% due at launch. Accepted payment methods: Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, and Cash App.

Revisions

Each project includes 2 rounds of revisions before launch. Additional rounds or changes beyond that are quoted separately.

Timelines & Client Responsibilities

Typical turnaround is 2–4 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on size. That timeline depends on receiving content (text, images, logos, etc.) and feedback from you in a timely manner — delays on your end may extend the completion date.

Unresponsive Clients

If you stop responding for 2 weeks after a reminder, the project is closed and the deposit is non-refundable.

Ownership & Portfolio Use

Once the site is paid in full, ownership transfers to you — I hand over the site and all access. Until then, all work remains the property of Free State Web Co. I retain the right to display completed projects in my own portfolio and marketing, unless you request otherwise in writing.

Hosting & Domains

Hosting is set up in your own account. Most small sites fit comfortably within a free hosting plan; if a site needs paid hosting, that cost is yours to cover directly. Domain names are registered in your name and renewed yearly by you.

Updates After Handover

Once a site is handed over, further updates are quoted per request — there's no ongoing retainer or subscription required.

Third-Party Services

Hosting providers, domain registrars, Google, and other third-party services are outside my control. I'll set them up and configure them properly, but I can't guarantee their uptime, policies, or pricing.

Limitation of Liability

I don't guarantee specific search rankings, traffic, or business outcomes — those depend on factors outside my control. My liability under any project is limited to the amount you actually paid for that project.

Changes to These Terms

These terms may be updated from time to time. The version posted here reflects how current and future projects are handled; existing signed agreements govern the specific projects they cover.
