Project Terms & Guarantee

This document records the payment, revision, and ownership terms for every Gill WebWorks project — in plain English, signed and dated.

1. §01
   50% deposit to start, 50% on delivery

   A 50% deposit is required before any work begins. The remaining 50% is due once the completed website has been delivered and approved. Commerce builds can be split into thirds if cash flow is tight — just ask.

2. §02
   Revisions close at the final invoice

   Every build includes two rounds of revisions while the build is still open. Once the final invoice is issued, the build is officially closed. After that, edits and new content run through an optional care plan or a flat quote agreed before any work starts.

3. §03
   Website ownership after full payment

   Once the project has been fully paid for, the client owns the completed website and its content. Until final payment is received, the website and its content remain the property of Gill WebWorks.

4. §04
   Domain ownership remains with the client

   The domain is registered in your name and under your account. It is yours from day one and stays yours regardless of anything else.

5. §05
   Source-code transfer & migration not included

   Source-code transfer, development files, or migration to another hosting or development platform are not included in the build fee unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

6. §06
   No hidden fees, ever

   The quote you approve is the price you pay. Hosting and domain (~$20–30/month) are billed to you directly at cost, or bundled into a care plan for one predictable payment. There are no surprise charges.

7. §07
   Deposit commitment

   The 50% deposit secures your spot and covers the design work. Once the deposit is paid, it is non-refundable. If the first direction doesn't excite you, we keep revising until it does. If you choose to back out before launch for any reason, the original deposit stays with Gill WebWorks to cover the time and tools already invested.

8. §08
   Launch-week fixes on me

   If something I built breaks in the first week after launch, I fix it free — usually within 24 hours. Ongoing upkeep after that is covered by an optional care plan or a flat quote.
