Possible Additional Costs

• Layout & color theme changes, additional content pages or other work requested during the project, which was not included in the original quote, may incur additional cost & will be added to the final bill.
• If you do not host your site with our hosting service & we run into installation issues with the hosting company you choose, there will be an added cost for the extra time we spend accomplishing the launch of your site. NOTE: When using our HOSTING SERVICE there is no added fee to get your site launched & set up.
• Once your site is launched & your final bill is settled there are NO ongoing fees other than hosting costs & your annual domain registration fees. If we are asked to provide site maintenance such as removing, modifying or adding content / images, installing applications & features not originally included in the building of your website, we keep a work log & bill at a competitive hourly rate. Most sites do not require more than occasional content maintenance work & if you host with us, we also perform periodic upgrades to the administrative components running your site, as well as the Joomla platform, when critical updates become available. We log the time required & bill at $75./hr.
