These terms & conditions may change from time to time.  The Client will be informed of revisions as and when they are issued.

You will be provided with a single web page custom to your business with your own logo and colour schemes (provided by you)

If you personally want to change the layout and site structure of the website (i.e move this menu over there, make the logo 3 times larger) it is highly recommended you respect the experience and web knowledge of inLIFE Designer. This will be based on current web accessibility and usability guidelines. However if you do decide you really want things moving around this will be at a small extra cost subject to individual changes.

Any additional features requested to be added to the website may also be at an additional cost. It is to inLIFEs discretion what we class as ‘additional features’ dependant on what you are asking for. In this case you may be better suited to a custom design job (see below)

If you would prefer a complete custom website and to take a more adverse role in the design stages (ie layout and site structure) we do offer the complete custom package designing the site to your exact brief and needs. However the cost is subject to what you want and a prior consultation meeting is required to cover the design and content fundamentals with a final design brief produced to work from. Again we will advice the best possible solutions as well as provide a design brief template if required.

If you are using inLIFE hosting then you also receive all login information to edit the backend system as well as login to your analytics pages to edit or change your own email addresses

First years £99 hosting and domain name registration fees are included, from then on this is an annual fee. See hosting terms and termination details above.
