Do you have long-term contracts for your website designs?
No. We don't believe in vendor lock-in, which often happens with most web design companies. Yes, we have an contract for the initial website design that outlines our price and deliverables. But once the site is complete, you are outside of a contract.

We of course provide all those services and would love to have you as an ongoing client.
