Terms of service

Plain-language terms

Last updated: September 22, 2026. Short version: fixed quote before I start, 50% deposit to book, you own everything once the balance clears.

Who I am

Quotes

Nothing starts until you've approved a fixed written quote. Quotes are honoured for 30 days. If the scope changes mid-project, I quote the change plainly before doing it — no surprise invoices.

Deposits and payment

Fixed quote before I start. 50% to book, 50% at launch. You own everything once the balance clears.

Cancellations

Cancel any time by email. Before work starts: full refund of anything paid. After work starts: the deposit is kept, and you owe nothing further. If I've delivered work beyond the deposit's value, I'll show you exactly what that covers.

Revisions

One full revision round is included with every website project. Further rounds are quoted plainly before I start them — you'll never be billed for revisions you didn't approve.

Timelines

Timelines on the services page are honest estimates: one-page sites typically live within 5 business days of kickoff once I have your content; five-page sites take 1–2 weeks. If you're late sending content, photos, or feedback, the timeline moves by the same amount. Bigger builds get a clear timeline up front in the written quote.

Free mockup

The free homepage mockup is exactly that — free, with no obligation. You only continue if you like what you see.

Ownership

You own your website, content, and domain 100% once the final balance clears. I may show finished work in my portfolio unless you ask me not to.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change, the new version goes on this page with a new "last updated" date. Significant changes will be noted here in plain language. Work already quoted stays under the terms you approved.
