PROPOSAL / CONTRACT WITH TERMS AND PROCESSES
ikan-ikon.com Specifications for Design & Development Services
This web page provides details about the design and development of websites, graphic design, logo design, marketing and advertising services created by ikan-ikon. The intent of this page is to outline a general project scope and detail the project management processes, including completing design, development, and marketing aspects for projects ikan-ikon offers.
ikan-ikon.com appreciates this opportunity to provide services to you. If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please contact us.
Our Work Ethics:
• We focus design on synergy, providing a natural feel with branding that blends well with how you present your business to people in person.
• We use the psychology of selling, and time-proven marketing techniques to raise you above your competition.
• We provide a unique style that is all your own.
• We give you EVERYTHING so that you have full power over your own company.
• You also own your own copyrights.
• If you lose your files, for any reason in the future, we always keep multiple backups for all clients, forever, so you will never lose work you have paid for.
At each milestone and Phase, Client and all Client-side decision-makers decide what they want as a cohesive team. Client provides unanimous approval from all client project team members with only one Point of Contact BEFORE e-mailing Consultant changes or approvals. No exceptions.
Then, Client provides ikan-ikon with 1 email = 1 complete set of changes to be made at 1 time, for each Phase transition.
Client will be charged if not abiding by this efficient project development guideline.
Also, additional sets of changes that are not included in the project timeline and pricing will be charged per hour at the a la carte rate, if wanting to try things or piecing together changes.
An example of this: Sending 15 text messages about various changes will add on a fee of $75 versus sending 1 e-mail with all 15 changes, which is included in the cost of building the website because ikan-ikon values efficiency.
STANDARD PROJECT TIMELINE
Although the development process varies from project to project depending on variables (submission of content, approvals, answers to questions, etc), the timeline of deliverables displays each phase of the website development process. Also, please note that deadlines assume a timely response from the client during all milestones, including kick-off planning, project planning and development, graphic design, user interface design, web site development processes, beta testing, and changes.
