Terms for Website Design (template)

We have created the following guide which we hope will provide a general overview of what is, and not included in our website creation from template service..

	The website design prices quoted here on the UK Trading website are for development of a website using the template that you have chosen to buy from our template stock. We will construct your website using the chosen template (as seen in the template selection), and will insert your text, business message(s), and where images are deemed to be 'replaceable', we will replace the template images with your own images up to, and including a maximum of 15 image replacements. (Replaceable images are those that are usually found within the content sections of the website.) It's worth noting here that... We cannot make silk purses from sow's ears! So where you do provide images to us for inclusion in the website build, the supplied images should be the highest possible quality, or they could look 'inferior' when viewed alongside the professional high quality images that come packaged with a template. Our standard charge for website construction includes preparation and insertion of a maximum of 15 replacement images in the website build, after that, any additional image preparation/insertion will be charged at £8.00 per image billed on top of the standard charge for website construction.
	Where there are 'dynamic' elements like contact forms in a template, we expect your web server (wherever you new website is be located) to fully support CGI or PHP scripting - Where it doesn't, we would need to remove the form or any other dynamic element from the template because it won't work.
	In overview, the process used to create your website is for one of our designers to populate the chosen template pages with text, images, content/material, and logo that you provide us with. Logo's are only normally inserted into a design where applicable - Some templates do not include space or latitude to include one.
	Where a logo is required we are usually able to scan from your business letterhead and prepare/use that with the template. If you do not have one, we would normally (unless agreed otherwise), make a charge for it's creation.
	When we build your website from a template, our pre-set design fees do not include any modifications to the actual template layout. If you require us to make such changes, then we can do it on the basis that the work will be charged as extra.
	In practical terms, we may not always be able to add all of the textual content that you have supplied due to constraints imposed on the design/layout by each template. We do our best to make it work, but if it doesn't, we will normally consult you about it and ask for you to reduce the text to xx number of words.  We may also see fit to 'amalgamate' the textual content of 2 similar page types in order to create sufficient text where the material supplied falls short of what is required for a reasonable page balance.
	In the main, we can change font styles and font colours used in the chosen template, except where is has an overall 'knock'-on' impact on the template, and final appearance of the website overall.
	We may need to edit (expurgate) any text that you do supply in order to make it fit into the space provided in the template for textual content.
	We do not create or write additional copy (textual content) for your website, you will need to provide us with ALL required copy used for insertion.
	We do not manufacture, create, or procure images for your site other than what you provide us with, or are already contained in the chosen template. We cannot make silk purses from sow's ears! So where you do provide images to us for inclusion in the website build, they should be the highest possible quality, or they could look 'inferior' when viewed alongside the professional high quality images that come packaged with a template.
	To avoid legal consequences of illegal use of copyrighted images, we may disallow some images if we believe they are copyright by someone else unless you provide proof of ownership or appropriate 'authorisation to use' documentation.
	Due to the contractual agreement we have with external designers, we cannot add or incorporate elements from another template such as images, music etc into your selected/chosen template unless you purchase a license to use the second template.
	We require written acceptance from you to (email is acceptable) where we may have jointly agreed extra or additional work will be done in connection with your website build.
	Before any work is undertaken we will first provide you with a firm price costing for your new website build, and our costing will include any additional work that has been detailed and agreed between us. Any variations or extras ordered by you during the website build may become likely to incur extra charges on top of the original quotation (unless agreed otherwise by us).   Payment Terms & Conditions
	We require a deposit of 50% towards the cost of the website creation, plus the template cost prior to commencement of any work. The balance is payable, plus any agreed extra charges, before we publish the completed website to your domain/web space.
