There are some extra costs that aren’t included into the flat rate, like web hosting fees, photos and photography, licenses, etc.
- Project Kitty – 10% upfront of total cost of project for photography and licensing. I refund any unused amount, or apply it to maintenance or additional services.
- Domain name, web host setup, and email – If you don’t have a host or a domain name I can help you find one, and get your email running from your very own domain! I like to set this up separately, so that you always have total control of your own web host and monthly billing. Automatic billing is highly recommended to avoid downtime or loss of domain. Set up of your host is included in the website cost, but your domain name and hosting fees are at an additional cost.
Notes
*Composites and fine tuning are created in the “development” and “finishing touches” time frame established for your project. Any fine tuning outside of this time frame will push the project time line further out, and may be charged at my hourly rate. I will always consult with you before so you’ll never get a bill for work you don’t approve in advance.
*Any design change of more than 30% to the design structure is considered a complete rework, and will be billed at the regular hourly rate.
**Stock photography included in the Project Kitty, but will be billed in case the Project Kitty runs out. I work with reputable, affordable sites that provide excellent photography quality and licenses. No fear of
