Terms of service
These plain-language service terms explain the general basis on which Bairnsdale Websites plans and delivers website projects. Project scope, timing, payment and any additional work will be confirmed in writing before work begins.
$600 fixed website build
The standard package is $600 for the agreed website scope described on this site. It includes up to five standard informational pages, responsive design, one standard contact form, basic on-page SEO setup, reasonable domain connection assistance, supplied-image optimisation, and one standard revision round.
Payment and completion
A $300 deposit confirms the project and allows work to begin. The remaining $300 is payable when the agreed website is complete, the customer has had the opportunity to review it, the included revision has been addressed or declined, and the website is approved and ready for launch or handover. Approval can be given in writing, including by email.
Scope and additional work
The package is not unlimited development. Ecommerce, online stores, memberships, portals, complex booking systems, databases, custom applications, advanced calculators, custom quoting systems, large directories, extensive integrations, additional pages, substantial copywriting, branding, photography, advanced SEO, extra revision rounds and future maintenance may be quoted separately. Additional work is never automatically added to the $600 invoice; I will explain and quote it before proceeding.
Third-party costs
Domain registration or renewal, hosting, business email, paid plugins, themes, fonts, stock images, booking platforms, ecommerce fees, payment processing, software subscriptions and external APIs are separate unless explicitly included in writing. I will explain paid third-party costs before you agree to use them. There is no compulsory monthly website-design subscription, although third-party services may have their own renewal costs.
Content and client responsibilities
The client is responsible for supplying accurate business information, contact details, services, prices, opening hours, service areas, policies and other essential factual content. I can organise and lightly edit supplied wording, but extensive copywriting and research are separate. Project timing depends on receiving the required content, access and feedback.
Ownership and post-launch work
Once the project is paid in full, the customer owns the approved website content and design work created specifically for the project, subject to third-party licences, platforms, software, fonts, images and services. Hosting infrastructure and third-party software remain subject to their own terms. If I make an error in the agreed website, I will correct it. New features, content additions or later design changes may be quoted separately.
SEO and launch
Basic on-page SEO setup may include titles, descriptions, headings, alt text, clean URLs, sitemap configuration and appropriate structured data. Search engines control their own rankings and indexing; no ranking, traffic or enquiry outcome is guaranteed. Launch means publishing or connecting the completed website once final payment and required access are available. DNS propagation and third-party availability can affect timing.
Portfolio
Unless the customer asks otherwise, completed public websites may be shown as examples of Bairnsdale Websites' work without exposing confidential information. Cancellation, refunds and any inactive project arrangements are handled fairly under the written project terms and applicable Australian law.
