Website Design Agreement
Designer: Michele Swensen, Xpressions Web Design
1. Scope of Work
Michele will design and develop a custom WordPress-based website for the Client, including:
- Up to 10 web pages
- Mobile responsive layout
- Basic on-page SEO setup
- Installation of selected software (design, security, analytics)
- Up to 3 rounds of revisions
Additional revisions will be billed at the current hourly rate of $25/hour.
2. Payment Terms
A 50% deposit is required before work begins.
The remaining 50% is due when the project is completed and ready to launch.
Accepted payment methods: Zelle, check, cash, or PayPal.
PayPal payments include a 3% processing fee.
3. Non-Refundable Deposit
The first $200 of the deposit is non-refundable.
4. Cancellation Policy
If the Client cancels the project before completion, no portion of the deposit will be refunded.
If Michele cancels the project for any reason, any unused portion of the deposit (excluding the non-refundable $200) will be returned.
5. Late Payment Policy
The final payment must be received before the site is launched or transferred to the Client.
Late payments beyond 7 days may result in a $25/week late fee.
If unpaid after 30 days, the project may be considered abandoned, and the deposit forfeited. The website will be taken down.
6. Timeline
Estimated project duration: 3–4 weeks from deposit.
Delays caused by lack of content, communication, or feedback from the Client are not the Designer’s responsibility.
7. Ownership & Access
Full ownership and login access will be transferred to the Client once final payment is received. Until then, the website remains the property of Michele Swensen.
8. Final Approval
The project is considered complete once the Client approves the final version, or after 7 days with no feedback following delivery of the final version.
9. Client Responsibilities
The Client agrees to provide all necessary text, images, branding materials, and feedback in a timely manner to prevent project delays.

11. Hosting & Domain Name

Hosting and domain name registration are not included and must be purchased separately by the Client under their own name.
Michele will assist with recommendations and setup, but ongoing hosting and domain expenses are the Client's responsibility.
