Website Design

Please refer to www.tasmaticwebdesign.com.au for the variations in each website design package.

Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au websites are self-managed and Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au is not responsible for any copy, editing or updating of your website content unless this service has been paid for.

After approval of a website design concept, any amendments from that point onwards, will be subject to additional design fees.

The final approved website design is owned by the client. Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au does not own the design or website.

Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au do not place any additional content to your website other than mentioned above unless otherwise agreed in writing or included in a quote.

‘Content Upload Packages’ are available for an additional fee.

Website images must be provided by the client. For a small fee, images can be purchased from the Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au image library. Alternatively, Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au can either suggest stock image websites or can source images on your behalf at our current rate of $80 per hour plus the cost of the image/s.

A website will only go ‘live’ after any outstanding balance has been received and the payment has been completed.

For all eCommerce website design packages, as per your quote, it is a requirement that the payment form for monthly be completed prior to the website going ‘live’. Failure to pay any monthly fees for an eCommerce website could result in your website being suspended until all outstanding payments are received.

eCommerce sites are developed and handed over with a standard eCommerce configuration and layout. This includes product page, checkout page and basic shipping configuration. Any variations or customisations to these layouts will be at an additional cost to the client.

Websites with ‘Mobile Responsive Design’ do not include any customization to the design or layout visible on a Smartphone or tablet. Customisation is available at an extra cost following instructions from a brief provided by the client.

You will be allowed 2 revisions of edits to your website while it is under construction.

You must provide all your edits in accordance with our edit guidance which allows for standard text, photos, and design request changes.

Your standard web design price includes two revisions of edits, if you exceed this, we reserve the right to charge $150 per additional edit revision round.

All edits must be submitted in a single email where possible; you may use multiple emails if you have size limitations when sending us photos.

Please do not bombard our email account with single edit requests as they come to your mind.  Be considered and efficient when reviewing your site and communicating any questions to our team.

During the design phase of your web development, if you do not provide edits within 2 months of a draft being provided, we reserve the right to close your account and all money paid will be forfeited.

All deposits and fees paid are non-refundable after the client has approved a draft. Once the design work has been signed off for publication, fees are payable as they fall due.

The usability, functionality, and/or limitations of our content management system are not reasons for not paying the balance of your website.

If a logo has been purchased, this will need to be signed off before the website design is commenced.

If you have preferences for design and layout, you must tell us before we begin drafting your website.  This helps us to select and apply a design that is closest to your preference without spending our time inefficiently trying to guess your preferences.

We welcome all your ideas for design preferences, these must be completed and submitted to us in the relevant sections in our question list prior to commencing work on your site.

If you do not provide your design preferences in the question list during the design phase and give us design suggestions after designing your draft site, we reserve the right to charge you a re-design fee of $250 for altering your design layout and template after the time spent on your initial design.

If you would like a re-design, please provide us with clear guidance on what you want to be changed so we can attempt a different design layout in your next version. We will not undertake a second design without your guidance so please help us by communicating your ideas with us.

We will only commence design once we have received your completed question list along with all your information and photos.

You agree that we will mention your website is designed and powered by Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au unless otherwise agreed.

Website Plugins

Website plugins purchased pre or post-sale are installed on your website on a basic level i.e. Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au provide a basic set up of information sufficient for the plugin to function on the website.

Beyond the basic level of setup, additional fees apply for customization of that same plugin.

Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au builds all sites with the latest version of plugins. Updating versions of any plugin is subject to a minimum charge of $80 per hour plus any additional time spent on reconfiguration, customization, and testing.

In almost all cases, plugins have an annual renewal which must be paid by the client for the plugin to remain 100% functional on the website.

Requests for additional plugins must be researched by the client to ensure the functionality is what they are after. Due to the hundreds of WordPress Plugins, Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au may not be familiar with the functionality of them all and cannot support them. Any plugin support a client needs will be through direct contact with the plugin developer and or their support team.

If a client would like Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au to install a plugin, the client must purchase it from the plugin website (unless it is free), and send the plugin file to us, unless otherwise agreed. Tasmaticwebdesign.com.au standard development fee of $80 per hour, per plugin, will apply to install, activate, and test the plugin.
