Supplement: Interactive-Specific Terms and Conditions
Design
The standard development package uses the structure and design shown in the demo course. The Agency will customize the site for the Company’s unique brand with the imagery and style guide that is provided by the Company. The page templates are flexible layouts that adapt to the capabilities of many devices and screen sizes. You’ll have a two week opportunity to review our work and provide feedback. If, at any stage, you’re not happy with the direction our work is taking, you’ll pay us in full for everything we’ve produced until that point and cancel this contract.
Text content
The Agency is not responsible for writing any text copy.
Photographs
The Company should supply graphic files in an editable, vector digital format. Photographs should be submitted in an optimized high resolution digital format. If the Company would like the Agency to search for photographs for the project, a separate estimate can be provided.
Browser testing
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.
Desktop browser testing
The Agency will test the work in current versions of major desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Internet Explorer), and Mozilla Firefox. If the Company needs an enhanced design for an older browser, a separate estimate can be provided.
Mobile browser testing
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. The Agency will test work in: iOS: Safari & Google Chrome Android 7.x: Google Chrome Android 6.x: Browser & Google Chrome We currently don’t test Blackberry OS or Blackberry QNX, Opera Mobile, Symbian or other mobile browsers. If the Company needs an enhanced design for an older browser, a separate estimate can be provided.
Technical support
Support for website hosting, email or other services relating to hosting is not a service that is provided by the Agency. The Agency can set up an account for the Company at one of the Agency’s preferred hosting providers. The site can be setup on a server, then, the updates to, and management of that server will be the Company’s responsibility.
Design sign-off
The process is broken down into the following steps:
1. Kickoff meeting held over a 1-hour Zoom meeting
2. Course outline, content, style guide, and account logins/licenses submitted by the Company in Airtable
3. Design mockup of the course homepage, module page, and lesson page submitted to the Company for review.
4. Company design signoff
5. Development, Infusionsoft integration and testing
6. Project signoff
After all Company deliverables are submitted the Agency will create the page designs for the course homepage, module page, and lesson page. The designs will be submitted to the Company through Invisionapp, a design collaboration system, to review and provide all feedback and revisoins within Invisionapp. A one-week period is budgeted within the timeline for the Company to complete this step. The Company will submit the Design Revisions Form to notify the Agency that all revisions and feedback have been submitted.
Once this form is received, the Agency will proceed to update the designs and submit back to the client for final approval and design sign-off.
It is important to note that this package does not include custom design so the design revisions should be minimal. Changes to the structure and layout of the course are not included within the scope of work. If the Company chooses to make layout/structure customizations a change order will be provided with a new estimate.
After the design-sign-off is signed the project will proceed to the development phase.
It is important to understand that once you have given us a final approval for the design any changes, upgrades, modifications, and any work at all done relating to the page design, structure, layout or content will be billed at our hourly rate.
Project sign-off
Once the Project has been completed a sign-off will be requested. This is the Company’s period of time to complete their due diligence and double check everything in the systems. Once the Company has either given the Agency a final approval that the Final Deliverables are clear of bugs or two weeks have gone by without a valid bug request, meaning the bug submitted is actually a bug and not an improvement, task or other item on the initial scope of work, whichever is first, the Agency will consider the project to be completed. The Agency will inform the Company when the initial sign-off request is sent of of this time limit. After the site has been signed off, any bugs, changes, upgrades, modifications, and any work at all done relating to this project will be billed at the Agency’s hourly rate. As noted below and above, any changes to the initial scope of work will result in a change order which may incur additional cost and will always increase the timeline.
Changes and revisions
We know from experience that fixed-price contracts are beneficial to you, as they enable you to always know your costs. However, we don’t want to limit your ability to change your mind. 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 for that.
