Standard Web Design Agreement

By placing an order with JustSimple Dotcom, you confirm that you are in agreement with and bound by the terms and conditions below.

  • JustSimple Dotcom (JustSimple): Primary designer/site owner & employees or affiliates.
  • The Client: The company or individual requesting the services of JustSimple Dotcom.

1. Hosting & Domains​

This Agreement does not include hosting and domain name registration fees unless explicilty stated.

2. Scope of Work

  • The website will only include the features described in the Website Design Package or official quotation. Any additional work required by JustSimple, such as extra pages or features, will result in additional charges beyond the estimate in this Agreement. If the client requests additional work in writing, a written estimate for the extra work will be provided.

  • The standard website project scope includes a single homepage design layout and a single inner page design layout used for all inner pages. The header, navigation, and footer elements will be the same on all inner pages, unless otherwise specified, to provide a consistent look and user interface.

  • To create visuals such as graphics and page designs, JustSimple will provide mockups and request feedback from the client. We estimate that only two rounds of revisions per layout should be necessary. Any excessive revisions will result in additional costs.

  • Once all mockups have been approved by the Client, we reach a significant project milestone called “Design Signoff”. At this stage, all design work is frozen, and the approved mockups are given to the developers to create the web pages. Only the content areas on the web pages will be subject to change once they have been coded. Any design changes requested to the mockups after Design Signoff has been granted by the Client will result in a minimum charge of RM500 per design.

  • JustSimple assumes that the Client will provide input and approvals on content and design mockups within three business days of receiving materials to review. If this timeframe is exceeded, the schedule will be adjusted accordingly.

  • The Client acknowledges that any changes to the described scope of work for the project will result in additional charges and may affect the development schedule.

3. Site Content

  • The Client must provide all logo artwork, photography, sample content, and other collateral in electronic format. Acceptable formats include, but are not limited to: Microsoft Word, Adobe Acrobat PDF, .gif, .jpg, .tiff, .psd, .eps. All provided text and images must be emailed to JustSimple in good condition and appropriate quality for the internet.

  • Once submitted, all content and information are considered final, and any modifications will be billable. Additional copywriting and editing services are available to the Client through a separate contract.

  • The Client assumes responsibility for all editorial content on their website and must populate text, photos, and other content into the Content Management System (CMS) if provided. JustSimple will populate enough items to test functionality.

  • Any additional typing, image scanning or re-touching services required will be billed to the Client at a rate of RM200/man-hour.

4. Delivery & Testing

  • All programming will meet the standards of the current version of Chrome, Safari or Microsoft Edge only.

  • The website once coding is complete will be made available to the Client on JustSimple’s internal servers for User Acceptance Testing’ (UAT) for a period of 14 days in which all feedback, bugs and fixes must be reported to JustSimple to be fixed. At the end of this period the website must be put live. The Client can request JustSimple to put the website live before the end of this period if desired.

5. Payment Schedule

  • If Client fails to pay any amounts within this agreement, Client shall be liable for all legal fees and court costs incurred by both parties to satisfy said payment(s).

  • Any payments made by credit card will be subject to a service fee of 3%.

  • A late charge penalty of 1.5% of the unpaid balance will be assessed if payments are not received by their due date.

6. Warranty Period

  • Any bugs or errors reported within 30 days after the website goes live on the Internet will be fixed without any fee.

7. Termination & Cancellation
