Miscellaneous
It depends on which website design package you choose, how large your website project is, and how quickly you are able to deliver requested content, media, and other information.
Our website template copy design usually takes around two weeks while a custom website may take several weeks to complete.
Large websites with a lot of pages/posts, or websites that require sophisticated functions, will take even longer due to development and testing time required to make sure everything is working great before launch.
You get to own 100% of the website we design for you plus the graphics and other visual elements that we create for you for the website. You own text content, photographs, and other data you provided, unless someone else owns them.
We own any intellectual property rights we have developed prior to, or developed separately from developing your website and not paid for by you, including, but not limited to HTML markup, CSS, PHP, and other code. We will own the unique combination of these elements that constitutes a complete design and we will license its use to you, exclusively and in perpetuity for your website only, unless we agree otherwise within a signed agreement.
We test our work in current versions of Grade-A desktop browsers including those made by Apple (Safari), Google (Chrome), Microsoft (Edge), Mozilla Firefox, and Opera.
We won’t test in other older browsers unless we agreed separately. If you need to show the same or similar visual design for an older browser, we can provide a separate estimate for that.
The time it takes for your website to appear on page 1 of Google depends on a number of factors. It depends on the search phrase people are using to find your website and the number of other websites that are also available for those search phrases.
