Our standard scope relating to content includes receiving your information in our question list and writing content for the specified pages on your web design based on this. We may apply these charges at our discretion, depending on how much additional time we need to spend to process and format it.
- Excessive content supplied with question list upfront – $200 – $500 – a maximum content of 2000 words is allowed within your web design scope. Additional content requires more time to format and edit so additional page charges may apply depending on your specific requests and word count.
- Excessive new content during edits – $200 – $500 – a maximum content of 2000 words is allowed within your web design scope. Additional content requires more time to format and edit so additional page charges may apply depending on your specific requests and word count.
- Additional pages created during edits – $200 per page with content supplied – if you specify additional content during the edits reviews and this takes your page count above the limit, we can create additional pages for your extra content at this charge. Please note you must provide us with the content for these pages.
- Quicklinks to navigate long content – $150 for up to 10 links – a quicklink is text on your page which is linked to a section on that same page. So if someone clicks the hyperlinked text, they will be taken immediately down to the explanatory section relating to that link on the same page. This is useful when you have many sections of content on a page and want people to be able to go to the relevant section they are interested in immediately.
- Custom price list exceeding 20 items – $100 – if you have an extended price list for your services, this particular format requires alignment formatting which takes extra time.
2. Receiving Content or Edits in Inefficient Format
Our standard scope requires that you provide us with your information in digital format and in as few emails as possible. Information that is provided in non-digital format or over multiple emails requires additional time to process and extract.
- Providing your information in handwriting/jpeg/scan/photocopy/newspaper clippings – $100 per page to get typed up – if you provide information to us that is not digital, eg it is scanned or handwritten, we have to send this to get typed up manually so that we are able to use the text to build your content.
- Content re-arrangement during edits due to disorganisation or change of mind – From $200 – if we spend additional time re-organising content that is different to how it was provided in the question list or due to continued additions of new content during the edits, we may charge for the extra time to format and arrange this.
3. Sending Your Logo or Request a Graphic Design Logo After Your Draft Web Design is Built
We always request you to provide your logo to us upfront with your question list, you will be prompted several times to ensure that we design a website that is consistent with your branding.
- Sending your logo after your draft web design is built – $300 – if you did not provide your logo when requested upfront, and we have set your design, your logo may not integrate to the template we have chosen. If your design requires a template change, we must spend additional time re-designing your website to match your logo.
- Graphic design / logo request after first draft – if you request a graphic design logo after your draft website is produced, you will be charged $350 for the graphic logo design and an additional $300 may apply to re-design your website for the new logo branding if your guidance was not provided in the question list upfront.
4. Photo Gallery – Additional Scope Items & Custom Requests
Our standard scope includes a single photo gallery with up to 100 images. You must provide us with images in the correct order the first time round in a Dropbox link. We can include captions on photos for up to 30 images, these must be provided to us clearly in a list with clearly labelled photos they are to be attached to. If you require multiple photo galleries, we can create these in your draft site at no charge as long as you request this in your question list clearly. Photo sub-gallery requests that are received during the edits revisions will incur a charge as they require additional time to re-organise.
- Multiple photo galleries once your first gallery has been complete in the draft – $100 per gallery, max 30 photos per gallery – if you did not specify multiple galleries in your question list upfront, and then subsequently request separate category galleries during the edits phase, we must spend additional time to remove your original photo gallery and then re-create each new one.
- Photo gallery captions for more than 30 photo gallery images – $5 per image – if you have a large photo gallery over 30 images and would like captions on each one, this charge applies for us to go through each image and annotate them. Please note that you are able to do this through self-management at no charge.
- Photo uploads of high resolution images greater than 25 in quantity – From $150 – if you have supplied 25 of more images that are greater than than 1MB per image, this charge is for time to reduce the images in size, format their dimensions and upload them individually to your website.
5. Slideshow Banners Custom Requests & Change of Mind
You may choose to have a slideshow or static or no banner on your web design. There is no additional charge for the slideshow up to 5 images, however a change of mind may require a template change.
- Change of mind from static to slideshow banner – $300 – if you specify a static banner on your question list and change your mind to a slideshow banner, we may need to re-design the your website to accommodate the slideshow banner.
- Customised banner requests – $50 per banner – if you request unique photo layouts or image requests on your slideshow or static banners, this charge applies for the time to format and set up your requests. This charge may also apply if we are provided with low quality images and must source the original images for your web design.
- Graphic design enhancements to banners – $100 per banner – if you request graphic enhancements, overlays or requests to modify your banners, this charge may apply for the time to format and re-design them according to your unique requests.
6. Appointment Bookings, Calendars, PayPal and External Application Configurations
We are able to integrate your web design with most external applications. The responsibility for the account is on you to sign up and manage your account, we will get involved when it’s time to configure and connect it to your web design.
- Appointment and calendar booking applications – $150 – we recommend Google Calendar, Setmore or Timely as good applications for your appointment setting service, with free options. You should take the time to investigate each one and choose the one that is most suitable for your business. Please set up your own account, configure your appointments/bookings and provide us with login access to the account so we can do the configurations to link it to your web design.
- PayPal configuration – $250 – if you would like a PayPal link on your web design, you must provide us with login details so we can generate the code to link it to your web design. You must set up your PayPal account yourself, (please note there is a 3.4% processing fee per transaction payable to PayPal). Get paid through your website via your client’s credit or debit card.
- External application configuration – $150 – if you have a subscription to an external application, such as a donations page, eventbrite, waitlist database or any other external website, we can configure this to your web design through some custom code creation.
7. Re-design of Website Due to Omission of Guidance or Change of Mind
Our standard scope requires you to complete your design preferences in our question list. This is important to help us create a website upfront that is consistent with what you like. If you provide us with new design requests during the edit revisions, charges may apply.
- Re-designing your website during production due to omission of guidance upfront – $300 – if you omit to provide your design preferences upfront (in your Question List sheet), and provide our design suggestions during the edit reviews, we may be required to change the template to meet your request. Often this is just as time consuming as setting up your web design from scratch as we need to re-format the design and colour scheme across the entire web design.
- Re-designing your website during production due to indecision or change of mind – $300 – If you provide us with significant changes to your initial preferences as specified in your question list, provide too many varied suggestions or have a change of heart from your own initially suggested ideas, we can re-design your website at an additional charge. If you feel some level of indecision, uncertainty, or have a change of heart, please let us know and we will provide you with some options to help.
8. Custom Design Requests That Alter The Template & Non-Standard Page Layouts
We use the most user-friendly template designs to build your website. Sometimes, client requests for some changes will require us to alter the standardised code. If the change is straightforward, often we can do them as part of standard edits at no charge. Depending on your template and request, sometimes we may be required to alter the code specifically to meet your suggestion. If you provide your suggestions upfront, most often we can include the code changes during the build.
- Custom HTML template adjustments – $100 per change for example changes to banner size, border customisation, footer colour, header colour, main body background. Please note that most template layouts are not able to be changed to maintain the functionality and optimal user experience of the website. If your request is not possible, we will advise you.
- Non-standard page layout requests – $ individual quote will apply – if you have unique page layout requests that are not standard to usual web design layout, we may quote an additional charge to meet your requests if they are possible.
