• GCTS will build the Dynamic Content Website with an initial dynamic content front page mockup for desktop, tablet and mobile, and present that to you within 72 working hours for approval before the site moves to a full build. The mockup is of a design concept nature and contains minimal content. This mockup will be charged at a rate of a front-page build, and is payable regardless of moving to a full build site or not. If a full build site is ordered, the mockup cost becomes part of the full build cost.
• Upon approval of this mockup, GCTS will invoice you for the 50% deposit based on the quotation you have agreed to and when that deposit has been confirmed as paid, GCTS will then move to a full build of the Dynamic Content Website which will be finalized within 7-21 working days. GCTS will allow you to make one set of back and forth (edits) to this site based on the information you have provided us with the site build form and prior emails. Any edits that are a result of a mistake by GCTS are not included in the single back and forth emails.
• Any additions/changes to the site that have not been provided in the initial information, and changes that are not associated to the original information will be completed at an additional cost of $15 USD per back and forth email.
• GCTS defines an edit as a change that requires no redesign of graphics, layout or additional pages. A change or addition is defined as any action that requires a new graphic design, change of template or layout, or additional pages.
• If there will be outside links, such as third party applications or websites, GCTS holds no responsibility if it won't work well in conjunction with the Dynamic Content Site.
• All invoices will have an additional handling fee of 5% to the total cost which is for third party payment channels (i.e. PayPal and/or Stripe) and currency conversion fluctuations.
• All site builds will begin design once a deposit of 50% of the contracted price has been paid. All sites will be made live to the public once the remaining 50% of the contract price has been paid. The delivery time of these works will be agreed upon and will be mentioned in the initial quotation.
• All site builds, support works, GCTS Pro works will be invoiced prior to the commencement of coding works or design implementation.
• GCTS will only provide access to the Dynamic Content Site after it has been made live. Any changes made by the client that result to site damages, malfunction, and the likes, will not be a responsibility of GCTS. We will be able to repair the damage at an additional cost.
