We create designs and flexible layouts that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. Our web layout designs work iteratively and use predominantly HTML and CSS so we don’t waste your time and your money mocking up every template as a static visual. What we will do however is use static visuals to indicate a look­ and-feel direction (colour, texture and typography).

We will update your website development onto a test address allowing you to review our work and provide feedback. We will also use this test link to help show you changes made or options of design elements. If, at any stage you’re not happy with the direction our work is taking, you can pay us in full for everything we’ve produced up to that point and then cancel the contract.

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.

We test our work in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Internet Explorer), and Mozilla Firefox. We’ll also test to ensure Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and above for Windows users get an appropriate, possibly different, experience but we won’t test in other older browsers unless you specify otherwise.

Testing popular small-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. We therefore test our work on a number of leading devices of all screen sizes and browsers including Safari, Google Chrome and Firefox.

We know from experience that fixed-price contracts are rarely beneficial to you, as they often limit you to your earliest ideas. We don’t 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 we’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told us you want to achieve, but we’re happy to be flexible. If you want to change your mind or add anything new, that won’t be a problem as we’ll provide a separate estimate to cover the additional work.

We can’t guarantee that our work will be error-free (we’re human!) so we 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 us of them.

We agree to use our best efforts to fulfil and exceed your expectations on the deliverables listed above. You agree to aid us in doing so by making available to us the required information pertaining to your website and to cooperate with us in expediting the work.

Functionality or feature requests above and beyond those listed in the budget and/or the functionality specs may be considered out-of-scope and an amendment to the budget will be recommended.

We’re sure you understand how important it is as a business that you pay the invoices that we send you promptly. We’re also sure you’ll want to maintain a positive working relationship and keep the project moving forward, so you agree to stick tight to the payment schedule.

GillGraphics will invoice you for a fee of twenty five per cent (25%) of the initial fees at point of this signed contract agreement which will act as the deposit. A second installment of twenty five per cent (25%) will then made half way through the project (We will discuss and agree on a half way point of services done with you). As an example the half way point might be after all of the branding design is complete and the website layouts are in place for development. The remaining 50% will be billed on project completion. The final bill will also include any additional services added during project development. GillGraphics will launch the final website when requested however, if the final payment has not been paid after 15 days of the launch, the website will be halted until the balance is paid.
