DESIGN TERMS & CONDITIONS
In working with Lori Vaughn Design, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions:
Design Terms & Conditions
Before beginning any design work, I require a non-refundable deposit. (30% of the project estimated price quote). After that is received, I will then gather info from the client (I have a set of design questions that help me understand your vision and design preferences). I then proceed to design a set of custom designed drafts (about 4-6 options). Upon receipt of the client’s feedback, I will make any requested changes or revisions to any of the designs in this first set of drafts. Up to three sets of drafts with variations of this initial set of designs are included in quoted price. Further revisions thereafter or starting a whole new set of designs entirely at any point will incur additional costs (at the rate of $65/hour). After we narrow down and decide upon a final design, I will send the final invoice with balance due. Once I receive the final payment, I will then e-mail over the high resolution files in various formats (eps, pdf, jpg, png) OR release the design for production, if it is a printed item.
Once paid for, you, the client, have ownership of the final design for use in any media application that is beneficial to your business. I will retain the right to use the final design, or any versions of the design created in the process, within printed and online portfolios, including promotional materials such as newsletters and advertisements. If it is a logo, the client understands that it is the client’s responsibility to copyright the logo design (www.copyright.gov) and/or seek trademark (www.uspto.gov/main/trademarks.htm) if they chose to do so, but it is not necessary.
Website Design Terms & Conditions
Before beginning any website work, I require a non-refundable deposit. (30% of the project estimated price quote). Client is required to provide neccessary content (text and images) pertaining to their business. After the deposit and content is received, I will then proceed to design the website. After I am done designing the initial website, I will send a link to the client and ask for feedback. Upon receipt of the client’s feedback, I will make any requested changes or revisions to any of the pages on the website. I will send another link to the client and ask for feedback again. Up to 4 rounds of revisions is included in the initial quoted price. Further revisions thereafter or starting all over again entirely at any point will incur additional costs (at the rate of $65/hour). After we both decide upon a final design, I will send the final invoice with balance due. Once I receive the final payment, the site can then be published and/or transferred over with full ownership to the client’s account.
Any future teaks or revisions to the website can either be done by the client (through their own login account after the site is transferred over to them) or by me. Revisions or tweaks done by me are done at the hourly rate of $65/hr and can be paid after the revisions are done. An example: If a client wants to add more photos to their gallery or add a sales pop-up for a promotion they are doing, it could take me roughly 20 minutes, and would total $21.
I will set up basic SEO on all sites, but any further marketing or advertising thereafter is not included. Depending on your hosting, there is sometimes an option to set up paid subscriptions for additional marketing, if the client chooses to do so.
(Basic SEO setup from me includes: page titles, meta descriptions, meta tags, search keywords within site, heading structure, image alt text, mobile optimization, URL structure, and local business information. If client wants ongoing SEO, Google Search Console management, keyword research, backlink campaigns, ranking reports, etc., they would need to seek a separate service.)
