General Approach
- After quote acceptance / closing, the start-up payment is processed to begin work. As required by the PROJECTS, we may conduct a scoping workshop to discuss the requirements in detail.
- Once we have the branding details such as logo, images, branding materials and many other features, we will have a template or mockup for your review within 2 to 5 business days.
- You can review the design and suggest improvements accordingly. Depending on your project, generally up to 3 to 5 design modifications can be made within the given estimates. Please refer to the assigned design and development schedules for details.
- Once the design is finalized and approved, we will proceed with the development.
- Once the design is done, if CMS is included in your project, we will proceed to configure your website in your selected Content Management System (CMS: WordPress, Prestashop, Joomla, others). Provide all the content and copy before the development phase.
- Once the PROJECT is ready from our side, we generally hand it over to you for further review, testing and/or to upload/change content as needed.
- At this stage, you must give us a start date so that we can make the new PROJECT live.
- Your website can go live within 5-10 business days of Go Live approval, assuming accounts are clear. Please note that we require full payment prior to transferring the PROJECT on any external server.
- Please note that there are limited man hours allocated on the PROJECT. For example: estimates for all websites under 1500 € are based on the assumption that the PROJECT will be completed in three to four business weeks, depending on the size of your PROJECT. Any additional delays may increase the costs of managing the PROJECT. If you do not believe that the PROJECT will be completed within this timeframe, please let us know before starting the PROJECT.
- Also, generally speaking, going back and forth is time consuming. We recommend that you provide all necessary details, at the beginning of the PROJECT, to ensure that the project team’s time is used efficiently on your project and that you do not incur unnecessary additional costs.
- You will be kept updated through emails and/or phone calls as required by the PROJECT. However, feel free to contact us whenever you need a status of the PROJECT. Also, always keep us updated with your relevant email addresses / contact details.
- Once the PROJECT has been created live on the client’s domain, it is your responsibility to perform regular full backups and update all third-party components and software. In case of no maintenance agreement.

If the PROJECT involves search engine optimization, we need the text content for the Client’s PROJECT in advance so that the SEO can be planned and completed efficiently.
If the CUSTOMER agrees to provide us with the required information and subsequently fails to do so within one week of the start of the PROJECT, we reserve the right to close the PROJECT and the remaining balance will be payable immediately. Simply put, don’t give us the go-ahead to start until you’re ready to do so.
NOTE: Text content must be delivered as a Microsoft Word document, email (or similar) with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages in your PROJECTS.
