smallsite Pointing Your Customers in the Right Direction

These are the terms and conditions that you will be subject to as a smallsite owner.

Definitions

"I" or "me"
Andy Leppard, the web designer behind the smallsite product.
"You", "the client", "the customer" or "your business"
That's obvious isn't it? These terms refer to the person or company that is buying a smallsite.

Included in Your £150 smallsite

  1. A UK Domain name of your choice (.co.uk, .org.uk or .me.uk)
    I will register your choice of UK domain name so long as the name you want is currently unregistered. I will need the details outlined in the Your Responsibilites section. I will offer alternative domain names for your perusal if the one you specified is not available.
  2. 12 months of web site hosting for your smallsite
    Your hosting is limited to 5mb (very ample for smallsite) and will be wholly managed by me . If you require more space, your package can be upgraded. After the first 12 months you will be invoiced £50 on each aniversary of your smallsite launch for the following 12 month period.
  3. A home page with your choice of content:
    As detailled in the Your Responsibilities section, you will be required to supply all textual content for your smallsite before production begins. I will be able to advise you on how suitable your copy is for search engine visibility. Any or all of the following suggestions could be included:
    • Products and services
    • Current special offers
    • Satisfied customers
  4. A contact page including:
    1. Your telephone number (optional)
    2. An online enquiry form (optional)
      Your online enquiry form will contain the following fields as a minimum:

      2. Email Address(of enquirer)
      3. Email Me Option
      4. Telephone Me Option
      5. Message (from enquirer)
      Online forms can contain many custom features and I will endeavor to accommodate any special requirements you may have at no extra cost. I reserve the right to charge for custom form features that will cause me further costs. I will advise clients of expected costs before I undertake any custom form development.
    3. The address of your offices/premises (optional)
    4. A Google map of your location (optional)
      Only Google maps are offered. There are many different display options including the ability to include custom content in a popup label from the marker on the map. Google currently offer access to their map service free of charge and I cannot guarantee that this free access will continue. I will advise all customers in the event of any changes imposed by Google.
  5. Web design that is fully compliant with Web Standards and validated by the World Wide Web Consortium
    Your smallsite will be constructed using either HTML 4.01(Strict) or HTML 4.01(Transitional) depending on specific content requirements. Styles will be implemented using CSS 2.1. These specifications are W3C recommendations and will ensure that your site displays in a simlar manner in all major modern browsers for the forseeable future.
