Your Status

By entering into an agreement with IndigoBright Creative, you warrant that you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts, and that you have the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of yourself, your company or your organisation.

What do both parties agree to?

You: You have the authority to enter into this contract on behalf of yourself, your company or your organisation. You’ll provide me with the assets and information I need to complete the project. You’ll do this when I ask and provide it in the formats I ask for. You’ll review our work, provide feedback and approval in a timely manner too. Deadlines work both ways, so you’ll also be bound by dates we set together. You also agree to stick to the payment schedule set out at the end of this contract.

IndigoBright Design Studio: I have the experience and ability to do everything I’ve agreed with you and I’ll do it all in a professional and timely manner. I’ll endeavour to meet each deadline that’s set and on top of that will maintain the confidentiality of everything you give me.

Web Design

I will supply you with 2 major revisions to the suggested design, and then a reasonable number of minor revisions to the design, layout, colours, etc until you are satisfied with the design concept or such time as we both feel an agreement is likely to be reached. Additional revisions or design work outside the scope of the project will be charged separately.

You’ll have plenty of opportunities to review the work and provide feedback. I’ll either share a Dropbox, Google Drive folder or development site with you and we’ll have regular, possibly daily contact.

If, at any stage, you change your mind about what you want to be delivered and are not happy with the direction our work is taking you’ll pay me in full for the time I’ve spent working with you until that point and terminate this contract.

Text content

Unless agreed otherwise, you will be responsible for loading your own text and photos onto your web pages.

Graphics and photographs

You should supply graphic files in an editable, vector digital format. You should supply photographs in a high resolution digital format. If you choose to buy stock photographs, I can suggest stock libraries. If you’d like me to search for photographs for you, I can provide a separate estimate for that.

Browser testing

Browser testing no longer means attempting to make a website look the same in browsers of different capabilities or on devices with different size screens. It does mean ensuring that a person’s experience of a design should be appropriate to the capabilities of a browser or device.

I test my work in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), and Mozilla Firefox. I won’t test in other older browsers unless agreed separately. If you need an enhanced design for an older browser, I can provide a separate estimate for that.

Mobile browser testing

Mobile browser testing using popular smaller screen devices is essential in ensuring that a person’s experience of a design is appropriate to the capabilities of the device they’re using. I test designs in a variety of mobile devices and operating systems. If you have a specific requirement for mobile testing please let me know.

Search engine optimisation (SEO)

I don’t guarantee improvements to your website’s search engine ranking, but the web pages that I develop are accessible to search engines.

I cannot guarantee any improvement to a search engine ranking, nor can I promise to get a site higher up or to the ‘top of Google’, but I build every site in a way that is accessible to search engines in an effort to increase its chances.

Further changes to your website

If after completion of this project you wish to ask IndigoBright Design Studio to make further changes to your website, you can make your request via the website: https://indigobright.uk/contact

Your request will be scheduled, and charged at an hourly rate, which will be discussed with you prior to beginning work.

Changes and revisions

I don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind. The price at the beginning of this contract is based on the number of days/weeks that I estimate I’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told me you want to achieve, but I’m happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that won’t be a problem as I’ll provide a separate estimate for the additional work.

Web hosting

Web hosting is charged annually.

Your web hosting start date will be counted as the day your website holding page goes up or your website is put live – whichever is soonest.

IndigoBright Design Studio’s web hosting is provided via my trusted supplier GURU. By signing up to this web hosting, you agree to adhere to the GURU acceptable use policy located here: https://www.guru.co.uk/support/aup

If you have web hosting support queries, you should contact IndigoBright Design Studio in the first instance. If further assistance is required, we will liaise with GURU Support on your behalf. https://indigobright.uk/contact

For security reasons, IndigoBright Design Studio will only discuss your web hosting with the named contact for the account. If you wish to allow another member of your organisation to discuss a web hosting issue, please send their details in advance by email to hello@indigobright.uk

If you wish to cancel your web hosting agreement in the future, please give a minimum of 4 weeks notice.

The annual fee for web hosting is subject to change. If there will be an increase in the annual fee, you will be given at least 8 weeks notice.

LEGAL

I’ll carry out my work in accordance with good industry practice and at the standard expected from a suitably qualified person with relevant experience. That said, I can’t guarantee that my work will be error-free and so I can’t be liable to you or any third-party for damages, including lost profits, lost savings or other incidental, consequential or special damages, even if you’ve advised me of them.

Finally, if any provision of this contract shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this contract and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
