Standard website agreement terms
You can host your website yourself if you wish but we do not provide any ongoing support for this.
Between âusâ, 9G Limited, and âYOUâ, the client stated in the instructions and agreements
You are hiring 9G Limited located at Marlowe Innovation Centre, Marlowe Way, Ramsgate, Kent, CT12 6FA to design and develop a website solution as outlined in your SCOPE to be agreed on after stage 1 is finished and you have completed the foundations sessions.
Weâll install WordPress on our server, set up the admin panel for you and then create a custom WordPress theme that will mirror the design we created for you.
You will be able to add new top level and secondary pages to the site navigation yourself in WordPress. Weâll also set up a blog for you to publish posts that will be displayed in a reverse chronological order with pagination.
Plugins are a way to extend the functionality of WordPress and make the admin panel easier to manage. Weâll install a limited number of plugins for launch, which will include a simplified way to manage the navigation, automatically backup the database monthly, SEO tools so you can manage the title and meta description tags, and an XML site-map generator which will help Google index your pages automatically.
Weâll test the website in a variety of browsers, including Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Weâll also test the responsive design on multiple screen sizes. Weâll test the functionality of the site to ensure there are no errors or broken links and then hand it over to you for review.
Youâll have two rounds of minor revisions or tweaks to the sites, and then weâll launch.
Once youâve tested the website and are happy with its functionality, weâll make the website live!
You will have a 30 day warranty period from date of launch allowing us to fix any display issues or errors that may occur. Changes or updates are not covered in the warranty. Any errors outside of this warranty are not covered unless you have a paid maintenance plan with us.
Testing popular small-screen devices such as mobile phones and tablets is essential in ensuring that a user’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device theyâre using.
Weâre not a website hosting company but we do provide hosting and domain registration for our clients as a managed solution.
We know from experience that fixed-price contracts are rarely beneficial to you, as they often limit you to your earliest ideas. We donât want to limit your ability to change your mind or make decisions later when you might be better informed. The price at the beginning of this contract is based on the length of time we estimate weâll need to accomplish everything youâve told us you want to achieve, but weâre happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that wonât be a problem as weâll provide a separate estimate for to cover the additional work.
We canât guarantee that our work will be error-free (weâre human!) so we canât be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if youâve advised us of them.
