Web Guy Agreement
The Participant is contracting Charles Davel of 5D Creations as a provider of web site maintenance and graphic design services. Services not considered ‘standard website maintenance and graphic design’ are subject to be charged at a regular hourly rate of $100 and will not be considered part of this contract. The hourly charge depends on the plan you choose and any additional hours required to complete requested services will be charged at $100/per hour. 5D Creations will inform you when the number of hours you purchased have been used before continuing. Any number of unused minutes (in increments of 15 minutes) will be added to the following month’s time.
What IS included in this agreement:
- Edit, revise, update or create new minor graphical and/or update new textual content.
- Consultation, and guidance on the use of the web site.
- Regular monitoring and updating to ensure impeccable performance across all major browsers due to the fact that not all browsers render sites in the same way.
- Protection against hackers from gaining access to your site.
- Regular and thorough backups of your site so that it may be fully restored in case of loss.
- We’re here should you need us for consultation and advice.
- Monitoring your website functionality to ensure that everything is working as it should and upgrade where necessary. Some plugins may become outdated and no longer work with the newest version of your website software. Plugins may need upgrading to accommodate the newer version, or become obsolete with the improvements in the website software.
- Downtime is highly inconvenient for any website owner and when it happens it is important to have someone on hand to help. I can assist you by liaising with the hosting company to sort out the situation as quickly as possible.
What is NOT included in this agreement:
- Travel costs/times should you ever want to meet in person.
- CMS design or integration including but not limited to blogs, eCommerce stores, social networks, events calendars, and web forums. These require a separate design agreement.
