Project Turnaround:

Most projects have an estimated turnover rate of about 6 weeks depending on the project details, though I do reserve the right to extend turnaround times during peak seasons. All design projects have 3 phases, each approximately 1 to 2 weeks for completion:

1) Rough Draft phase containing 3 - 4 mock-ups for design ideas (color scheme, layout, graphics, etc.) Revisions to one draft selection are unlimited during the rough draft phase.

2) HTML 1st Runs. The completed draft is converted to an HTML mock-up and uploaded to your client area for preview with 4 additional revision rounds available (2nd Runs, 3rd Runs, 4th Runs and Final Runs). Additional revisions are available for a fee.

3) Installation/Integration/Packaging depending on whether you choose to have me install your designs or if you would prefer to receive the code packaged with step-by-step instructions.

Christmas Season Service:

For design projects needing to be completed and launched by "Black Friday", orders must be placed by October 1st. Orders placed after October 1st with an expected launch date by "Black Friday" will require a Rush Service Fee.

Rush Service:

Rush service on projects is available when my workload will allow. My fee for rush service is 50% of your project cost and will reduce your turnaround time by half. Rush fees must be paid in advance with the initial project deposit.

Deposits & Payment Schedules:

eBay Design Projects: A 50% deposit is required to begin your project with the remaining balance due upon completion before completed designs can be delivered.

ProStores Design Projects to be installed by 3 Son's Studio: A 50% deposit is required to begin your project. When the design is ready for installation/testing, 25% of the remaining balance is due. The final 25% balance is due upon launch.

ProStores Design Projects to be delivered for self-installation: A 50% deposit is required to begin your project with the remaining balance due upon completion before completed designs can be delivered.

All Other Web Development Projects: A 50% deposit is required to begin your project. When the design is ready for installation/testing, 25% of the remaining balance is due. The final 25% balance is due upon launch.

For projects of $1,000, extended payment plans may be available upon request.

There will be a $35 NSF Fee applied to returned checks. A late fee of 15% per 30 days will also be charged on outstanding invoices.

Statement of Work:

When I begin a project, I will provide a copy of my terms of service and statement of work with the deposit invoice that details your project, timeline and fee schedules. By placing your initial deposit your are entering into a binding contract with 3 Son's Studio as provided in your statement of work (your deposit is your signature).

Termination of Services:

In the event that a client wishes to terminate their service agreement with 3 Son's, I reserve the right to retain deposits applied up to the termination date as compensation for time and materials. I will supply all designs, code and material completed as-is up to the termination date.

Ownership:

The client owns all completed designs and code upon completion and is free to work with any designer of their choosing for future design needs. An Authorization of Release is available upon request.
