Designing a web site to fully work in multiple browsers (and browser

While A WebPage Designer will make every effort, always, to design
a fully functional web site, our guarantee does not cover AOL, text-based
browsers, or any requested special effect that we have advised you
against.
Accessibility for People with Disabilities
A WebPage Designer standard is to meet as many as possible of the
currently recommended guidelines for web site development. Without
sacrificing quality and design, we try to ensure that the content
and functions we build into our web sites are available to all visitors.

5. Web Site Maintenance.
This agreement allows for minor web site maintenance to pages over
a 1-month period, up to an average of one half hour per regular
web site, including updating lines and making minor changes to a
sentence or paragraph. It does not include updating replacing nearly
all the text from a page with new text, major page reconstruction,
new pages, guest books, discussion webs, navigation structure changes,
attempted updates by client repairs or web design projects delivered
to the client via diskette. The period of 1 months begins on the
date the clients web design site has been published to client's
hosting service or 30 days from the date this agreement was signed,
which ever comes first. If the client's web design package includes
database access using Active Server Pages (ASP), then very minor
page code changes will be accepted under this maintenance plan,
major page code and/or database structural changes will be charged
at current hourly rates.
6. Completion Date.
A WebPage Designer and the client must work together to complete
the web design project in a timely manner. We agree to work expeditiously
to complete the web design project no later than 30 days after the
client has submitted all necessary materials. If the client does
not supply A WebPage Designer with complete text and graphic content
for this web design project within 45 days of the date this agreement
was signed, the entire amount of the agreement becomes due and payable.
If the client still has not submitted all the required contents
within 60 days after signing this agreement, an additional continuation
fee of 15% of the total agreement price will be assessed for each
month until the web design project is published or the client cancels
the web design project in writing.

The web site design project will be published to the client's hosting
service upon receipt of the second payment or delivered via diskette
upon receipt of full payment. The client understands that A WebPage
Designer does not provide any hosting services in connection with
this web design project. Hosting services require a separate contract
with the A WebPage Designer. The client agrees to select a hosting
service which allows A WebPage Designer full access to the client's

service charges.
Diskette:
The client assumes all responsibility for the use and functionality
of the web design project.
8. Electronic Commerce Laws.

suit, penalty, tax or tariff arising from the client's exercise
of Internet electronic commerce.

A WebPage Designer owns copyright to the finished web design site
produced by A WebPage Designer. The client will be assigned rights

computer programs are specifically not transferred to the client,
and remain the property of their respective owners. A WebPage Designer
and its subcontractors retain the right to display graphics and
other web design elements as examples of their work in their respective
portfolios.
