Service Terms

How working with me works

This is the short, plain-English version. Every project also gets a written agreement with the full terms, and we both sign it before I start.

Deposits and payment

  • Projects start with a 50% deposit. It holds your spot and covers the planning, so it’s non-refundable.
  • The rest is due before I hand over final files or put your site live.
  • Monthly services are billed on the 1st of each month.
  • Invoices are due within 14 days. After that there’s a $25 late fee.

Changes

  • Most projects include 2 rounds of changes. A round is one list of feedback, sent together.
  • More rounds, or starting over after you’ve approved a design, cost $50 an hour. I’ll always ask before charging extra.

Timelines

  • The clock starts once I have your deposit and what I need from you (text, photos, logins).
  • I ask for feedback within 5 business days. If I don’t hear back for 30 days, I pause the project. Restarting may mean a restart fee and a new spot on my calendar.

Who owns what

  • Once you’ve paid in full, your final logo, website design and content are yours.
  • Designs you didn’t pick stay with me.
  • Fonts, stock photos and plugins belong to the people who made them and come with their own rules.
  • I may show finished work in my portfolio. If you’d rather I didn’t, just tell me.

Monthly services

  • Social media and Google Business Profile plans have a 3-month minimum. After that they’re month to month.
  • To cancel, give me 30 days’ notice.
  • I don’t post anything you haven’t approved on the monthly calendar.

Canceling a project

  • You can cancel anytime. I keep the deposit and bill for any finished work beyond what it covered.
  • If I have to cancel, I refund anything you paid for work I haven’t done.

What I can’t promise

I do careful work, but nobody can promise search rankings, followers, reviews or sales. Google, Meta, TikTok and the app stores change their rules all the time, and I can’t control that.

Photo sessions

Mini sessions and portraits have their own short terms, which you’ll see when you book: a $30 non-refundable deposit, free rescheduling for bad weather, and your photos within 7 days.
