How We Work
- Initial Consultation. We will travel to the client's place of business free of charge for an initial consultation, provided it is within a 25-mile radius of our principle place of business, not including packages under £250 where consultation will be by telephone and email. We can travel further than 25 miles if negotiated.
- Website Design. The website design will be created as an image and signed off by the client before the website is built. The website design can have any number of iterations, within the package design time, before the client signs off. Only minor changes can be made to the website design after build before additional fees are due.
- Content. Text for use on the website must be provided in a suitable format from the client. Any specific images required must also be provided. We will source up to 10 alternative images from stock if required.
- Go live. Ownership of the web site remains with us until the all monies for the web site design have been fully paid. Thereafter we grant the client non-exclusive use of all material created and designed by us for use in the web site created by us under this contract.
- Link to us. The Budget Web Sites Ltd link must remain in the footer area of the client's web site.
- Portfolio. We reserve the right to feature your website on our portfolio as displayed on our website. This good for you since we will also provide a link through to your live website.
