SHIFT ONE'S OBLIGATIONS
Web Briefing Session: We have a 1-2 hour brainstorm session around your website. We write up a brief doc that you approve.
Graphic Design: Our designers whip up your fantastic new home page for approval. You make comments / approve. 3 rounds of changes are allowed, any more than this and we will charge by the hour.
Build Phase: We start building the pages. By now you've given us your content - we can SEO optimise for an additional fee.
Testing and Edits: You sit 'over-the-shoulder' with our developers giving as many changes and edits as required to get the site to standard. 3 rounds of changes are allowed for, more and we will charge by the hour. We encourage our Clients to come into the office, Skype or call in and arrange a one hour 'over-the-shoulder' session direct with the developer where you can give your changes in a live environment, in order to speed things up. Should the Client waive this option, we cannot be held responsible for taking an extended time to get the work to the right level, as things take a lot longer when we receive a list of changes via email, effect them, send back for feedback, await feedback, get a list of changes, make them, etc. it's quicker and more efficient for both parties to make the changes together. If client makes significant changes at this stage, we will charge an hourly rate. This process is for fixes, and not brief changes or new elements to be introduced.
Final 50% payment: Once the site is approved the final payment is made.
Go live: can take a day or two depending on hosting. During this time the existing site might go down or appear broken. SEO might also be impacted after go live, as the new site is indexed by Google and new rankings worked out. However, the changes should be minimal and should recover shortly and the new site should rank better than the old one given time. We will provide support and ensure proper working and maintenance of features set out in the quotation of the project for 30 days after the 'launch' or 'live date' of the project. After 30 days, support, consultation and small development work is charged at our hourly rate. Any design, development or copy changes requested after design sign off will incur additional charges.
Handover and training: This estimate includes a one - two hour training session on the Content Management System. Full documentation will be provided in support thereof.
Photography: We require that you supply stock imagery or photography. If you don't have, we can source and quote you for this. Please supply us with high resolution logos, visuals and content. If the Client requires any of these services, an additional quote can be provided on request.
Delays: If a project is inactive or dormant for two months or more due to factors on the client's side, a reactivation fee of R1, 000 will be levied once the project is reactivated. This is because it takes time for the dev team to reacquaint themselves with the site structure, update plugins and fix things that might have broken due to updates.
Content: Our quotes, proposals or estimates do not cover or include uploading of content like blogs or loading products unless specifically noted in the quotation. If required, we can supply this service at an additional fee. Clients are required to copy over blog posts to their new website, we will copy over 10 blog posts. We can create content for you if needed, and will quote as per your need.
Customisation: Any additional customisation not included in the project specifications will need to be charged for.
Plugins: Plugin purchase is additional to the estimate provided unless otherwise specified and will be charged based on the exchange rate at the time of purchase. In the event of a plugin or theme malfunctioning Shift ONE cannot be held accountable as Shift ONE are not the creators/developers of any plugins nor themes.
Functionality: Our quotes do not cover or include custom functionality unless otherwise specified. Should additional functionality be required that was not originally scoped, a new quotation will be drawn up and development halted until it is signed and agreed on.
Ownership: Ownership of the project developed in terms of this agreement shall remain wholly vested with Shift ONE until the full development fee is paid. Should for some reason the project not be paid in full, the ownership of the site and all content will revert to Shift ONE to monetize as needed in order to recover the development costs.
Analytics: In order for this project to be a success it is imperative that we have Access to your Google analytics account to ensure SEO handover is seamless. You are required to use up to date software on your laptop or PC, the latest browsers and the latest operating system, 1024 x 768 monitor, as well as speedy internet connection otherwise we cannot design a website that you will be able to view adequately.
Hacking: We suggest that you take out a website maintenance and security contract with us, which we can quote you on, as we cannot be held responsible for the website being hacked if it is not backed up or maintained monthly. A separate SLA agreement covers those services.
The following process is followed by Shift ONE when designing and developing your website:
Process
The following process is followed by Shift ONE when designing and developing your website:

Please take note! If a project is delayed by one month or more due to non-supply of the above timeously, a reactivation fee of R1, 500 will be levied.
Scoping of Website
This takes 1 week or longer depending on the complexity. Client needs to provide all specifications and custom requirements during this phase. Shift ONE will provide a written web brief for sign off.

Up to three rounds of changes are provided, more changes can be accommodated at R550 per hour.
Once approval is given a further 25% payment will be made by the Client.
Website Development
This phase should take anything from 2 weeks to 2 months depending on the complexity of the project.
Shift ONE will provide weekly updates on progress as well as bi-weekly project meetings if requested.
The Client is not shown the work in progress at this time while we are working on fulfilling the brief. If Client has access to dev links we ask that the Client refrain from checking on development daily, as this is not productive for us, we will inform you when the dev link is ready for checking
Feedback and Changes
This phase is the longest of all the phases as it usually takes a number of sessions to get the site to what you're looking for.
Unless specifically expressed and agreed in writing elsewhere, Client may execute three rounds of changes to each stage of the Project. A round of changes is defined as a set of changes to elements of the Project required by the Client and delivered to Shift ONE at one time. A stage is defined as Design, Content, Development, first Approval, final approval. Changes can only be made to the Project at the appropriate stage of development. If a development stage has been completed and the Client wishes to make changes to that stage this may incur extra charges at our discretion.
Client to provide changes in a comprehensive list, and not in drips and drabs.
We encourage our Clients to come into the office, Skype or call in and arrange a one hour 'over-the-shoulder' session direct with the developer where you can give your changes in a live environment, in order to speed things up. Should the Client waive this option, we cannot be held responsible for taking an extended time to get the work to the right level, as things take a lot longer when we receive a list of changes via email, effect them, send back for feedback, await feedback, get a list of changes, make them, etc. it's quicker and more efficient for both parties to make the quicker changes together.
Should a Client take longer than 2 months to provide feedback and the website be stalled for longer than 2 months without feedback, the website will be parked and a R1,500 reactivation fee will be charged before changes will be made.
Uploading of content or products
Once the live version of the home page and one content page is approved we will commence uploading content, product and images as outlined in any quote, proposal or estimate.

It is imperative that you adequately test the chosen theme on all browsers, operating systems, tablets, cell phones and internet settings - preferably those used by your customers who will be using the site, as one it's chosen and development phase commences it is not possible to change themes without incurring significant charges, in most cases we will need to start the project from scratch.
Our quotes do not cover or include custom changes to WordPress or other themes - those will be charged for extra.
Any additional customisation not included in the project specifications will need to be charged for.
Template and plugin purchase is additional to the estimate provided unless otherwise specified and will be charged based on the exchange rate at the time of purchase.

You will be required to sign a document with screenshots of the website indicating that you are happy with the site, at which time, after receiving final payment, we will make the site live.
Once the site is live we go through a testing phase where we test everything and Client is responsible for testing the site, every email address and link, to ensure that it is in working order.
During go live, please note that the site might break, images not load and other glitches be apparent while we are taking the site live.
