These Website Services Terms (“Terms”) govern services purchased from Daniel Matthews (“Provider”). “Client” means the person or business purchasing the services. By completing checkout, approving a proposal, signing an order form, or otherwise authorizing work, Client accepts these Terms.
1. Scope, pricing, and exclusions
Website builds
Website builds are one-time projects. The available base website packages are:
- Foundation Website: $1,000 one-time.
- Growth Website: $2,500 one-time.
- Authority Website: $5,000 one-time.
Foundation Website provides a focused, mobile-first contractor website with a lean page structure and the core design, conversion, and technical-search fundamentals described on the website-services page. Growth Website adds deeper service and service-area architecture, research, internal linking, and conversion paths where justified. Authority Website provides a more comprehensive architecture for a larger service mix, footprint, or competitive market.
Ongoing SEO
SEO is a separate monthly service. The available base SEO packages are:
- SEO Maintenance: $500 per month.
- SEO Growth: $1,000 per month and approximately 2 major SEO actions per month.
- Market Leader SEO: $2,500 per month and approximately 5 major SEO actions per month.
Any website package may be paired with any SEO package. A website build does not require ongoing SEO, and the website tier does not determine the SEO tier. SEO may also be provided for an existing website if Provider determines that the site is a workable foundation.
A major SEO action is one substantial, prioritized improvement such as a useful service or service-area page, major page rewrite, significant internal-linking project, substantial landing-page conversion improvement, or a project page based on the Client’s real work. The right mix varies with available evidence and business priorities.
The applicable proposal or order details control the final scope, schedule, deliverables, payment terms, included revisions, and any separately agreed hosting or maintenance. Services exclude guaranteed results, unlimited edits, paid advertising management, custom integrations, third-party fees, paid placements, sponsorships, digital PR, and labor-intensive off-site authority or link acquisition unless quoted separately.
2. Payment, delivery, and revisions
The applicable website build fee, payment schedule, recurring SEO fee, and approved third-party costs are stated in the proposal or order details. By providing a payment method through the agreed payment processor, Client authorizes recurring charges only for the recurring services Client has selected. Payments are non-refundable and not prorated except when required by law. Provider may suspend recurring service after a failed payment remains unresolved for 7 days.
Client will provide requested content, photos, access, business details, CRM information, and approvals and confirms it may lawfully use the materials supplied. The project timeline begins after the required materials and access are received. The expected delivery schedule and included revision rounds are stated in the proposal or project plan. Time waiting for Client is excluded.
3. Monthly services and cancellation
SEO Maintenance, SEO Growth, and Market Leader SEO are month-to-month unless the applicable proposal states otherwise. Hosting, maintenance, or other recurring services apply only when they are separately selected or stated in the proposal; they are not automatically included with every website build.
Either party may cancel a month-to-month service with at least 30 days’ written notice by email. Client cancellation notices must be sent to danielmatthews1143@gmail.com. A payment scheduled during the notice period remains due, service continues through the paid billing period, and prior payments are not refunded or prorated.
After a separately provided hosting service ends, the website may become unavailable unless Client arranges replacement hosting. Provider may suspend or terminate recurring services sooner for nonpayment, unlawful use, security risk, or an uncured material breach.
4. Domain, ownership, and handoff
Client keeps ownership and control of its domain and business assets. Provider may receive administrative access to the website, analytics, Search Console, or other agreed tools needed to perform the Services, but this does not include access to the Client’s Google Business Profile. Provider does not take ownership of any Client assets.
Provider will reasonably assist with the handoff of available website files and access after outstanding balances are paid and destination information is supplied. Client is responsible for registrar, migration, replacement-hosting, and third-party costs. Registrar locks, platform restrictions, and third-party delays are outside Provider’s control.
Client owns its supplied materials and Google Business Profile. Provider does not log in to, edit, optimize, or manage the Google Business Profile. Any profile recommendations are implemented by Client or another provider selected by Client. Provider retains reusable code, tools, systems, templates, and methods. After full payment, Client may use the completed website and Client-specific content; third-party materials remain subject to their licenses.
5. Results, liability, and general terms
Provider will perform the Services professionally but does not guarantee rankings, traffic, leads, sales, revenue, uninterrupted service, or error-free operation. Client is responsible for legal review of its claims, offers, privacy notices, and use of information received through the website.
To the extent permitted by law, neither party is liable for indirect, special, punitive, or consequential damages. Provider’s total liability will not exceed the fees Client paid Provider during the 3 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
Provider is an independent contractor. These Terms, together with any applicable written proposal or order details, govern the Services. Any change must be confirmed in writing by Provider and Client.
