2010
Special $650
- $350, non-refundable down
payment is due at time of website request. For customer
convenience, payments can be made online using credit and debit cards. Visit
our Payment Page
for details. If you prefer to pay via regular mail,
project will begin upon receipt
of money order. An additional $15 fee will be assessed and should be
included in the money order total. Sorry, we do not accept personal checks at this time.
Balance of $300 is due within 3
business days even if total content has not been
submitted. Subsequent content will be added as
part of monthly maintenance with previously contracted materials
incurring no further costs.
It is the clients responsibility to
submit all website content, (text, graphics, video, etc...), on the day of
down payment and contract agreement. Projects will not be accepted without
it. However, if only a portion of the content is available at the time of
contract agreement, client must still pay down payment, and agree to pay
balance no later than the 3rd day after, with the understanding that
subsequent materials will be added in conjunction with the monthly
maintenance and will incur no additional costs as long as it coincides with
contract agreement.
TGL will do all within its power to work to
both client and TGL's best interest in the completion of contracts as
agreed. However, if client's end of agreement is not met with regards to
presenting web content in a timely manner, or not making payment balance
within the 3 day timeframe, or as agreed per contract, TGL reserves the
right to discontinue project due to breech of contract.
Client may not withhold final payment
under any circumstances other than TGL not completing project up to the
measure of materials submitted upon contract agreement and down payment. If
slight changes are warranted, or any other matter of concern arises other
than project not being completed as contracted, or in a timely manner
thereafter, client is still responsible for making final payment on time and
in full.
Websites will not be made visible to the
public until final payment is made.
Graphics should be submitted on CD and be
website ready.
PLEASE NOTE: For Deluxe version of
2010 Special, total cost is $850. Deposit is $500, (non-refundable). Balance of $350 due
within 5 business days following down payment. |

|
Regularly
Priced "Non Special" Website Requests - $500,
non-refundable down payment due at time of contract.
Balance due within 5
business days even if total web content contracted has not been
submitted. Subsequent agreed upon content will be added as
part of monthly maintenance with previously contracted materials
incurring no further costs.

| |
|
All contracts for projects
are secured by a down payment of no less than 1/2 the total
cost which can be determined by adding up the services
and products desired. Please note that the down payment
is "non-refundable" and, under no circumstances can it
be returned as it is only a partial payment towards the
work that has, will, or needs to be done. Due to our
extremely low, affordable rates, rarely does the down
payment cover cost, or materials of one third of the
total project based on the commercial rates which I've chosen not to charge my valued customers.
If you're
working with an extremely tight budget, determine the
services you'll need, then email TGL your desired price
along with a detailed list. Include timeframe for
project completion and delivery. As no reasonable offer
will be refused, we suggest you research a few company's
prices prior to quote submission.
|
|
Payment Types
& Methods |
| |
TGL uses
PayPal as the payment processor of choice for all online transactions.
PayPal accepts credit and debit cards with the VISA or Master Card logo.
Cash option
is extended to persons within the greater Milwaukee and surrounding area who
will be paying in person. An invoice detailing the total paid and balance
owed, if any, will serve as customer receipt. In lieu of the risks involved,
we do not encourage anyone to send cash via mail,
but in fact, discourage such practices and accept no
responsibilities for monies lost should customer decide to do
so.
To make a payment,
visit our Payment Page.

Website Project Materials
Submissions: |
| |
Materials to include website content
files, graphics, CDs, etc... should be submitted at time of service
request. However, to get your project started and
completed in a timely manner, send as
much information as you have and forward the remaining
materials as soon after as possible. Please note our 3 - 5 day
turnaround begins upon receipt of all previously
discussed project
materials. If agreed upon content needs to be added after payment is
received, TGL will be happy to do so as part
of our FREE, discounted, or paid maintenance perk and at no additional cost
to client.
To keep our prices at their
low, low rate, and to continue to provide the best
website service possible to our fellow upstart,
community based entities, TGL provides samples of work
completed and a full list of services available along
with prices in that regard. If you see something you
like and would like to have TGL create a similar
version for you, or... if you have a design in mind, submit required down payment (see
Payments Due As
Follows) along with written details of
requests. A brief, but detailed email is sufficient. You
will be contacted via email as often as necessary for project completion in
a timely manner.
Our FAQ page answers most customer
questions. Using this automated method usually
eliminates the need for lengthy and, therefore, costly
consultations. If your question, or concern is not addressed, feel free to
contact TGL via email at:
Customer Services - TGL.

Consultations are gladly
given for serious website purchase inquiries. Review the products
and costs on our website, determine your needs and desired
price, then contact us with the details. Preferred contact is email to:

Maintenance |
| |
To keep the cost of website design and
implementation low, TGL must be contracted to perform maintenance
on ALL sites we create under the "Specials" prices for no less than one year
after completion. TGL charges the lowest rate around at only $50 per month.
Clients who are not taking advantage of our Website Specials and wish to maintain their own sites can certainly do so
by purchasing one of our basic to advanced website design services which
begin as low as $850. TGL will also provide a single training session of up
to 2hrs on the maintenance of our Frontpage website for a nominal
fee of only $150. This includes a class size of up to 3 persons in a single,
group session. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, this service can be provided
for 1 individual at the same rate.
Client option for self maintenance is done so with the understanding that TGL designs are custom (not templates) and, therefore, are not bound to
template type specifics. TGL is not responsible for any costs, time, etc...
incurred, nor reconstruction desired if client elects to alter design.
TGL website designs are not for 'resale' and persons utilizing them for
such will be prosecuted according to applicable law. All graphics, custom
and otherwise, not supplied by client are property of TGL and, therefore,
not allowed for use other than on client's initial website. Transfer of
website negates all authorized use of TGL graphics.
If client opts for self maintenance after fulfilling the 1st year
contract required for all Website Specials,
all maintenance and related perks by TGL, and/or responsibilities become void.
Client accepts full responsibility in all regards as TGL
will no longer have access to perform such, nor
responsibility of repair should the need arise.
|
|
Web
Hosting |
| |
In the case of clients seeking a dedicated server, and, therefore, their own
webhosting source while using TGL's maintenance services, TGL accepts payments for
website hosting in yearly increments payable at time of contract and, thereafter, any date
prior to
current contract's end.
In the case of FREE web hosting by TGL, unless
contract stipulates otherwise by previous agreement between TGL and client,
this perk is for the 1st year of website services only to include the first
12 consecutive months beginning on the day of contract. Respectfully, TGL
reserves the right to offer free hosting for the life of the website as long
as TGL is contracted to perform all maintenance.

|
Domain Name |
| |
FREE domains last for a single year to include
12 consecutive months beginning with date of contract. Client's wishing to move their domain before,
or after the domain's expiration will incur a cost of
$25 with no regard to contract start or end. Clients wishing to secure
domain registration for more than one year will incur the cost of $25 per
year.
Renewal of domain names incur a cost of
$25 yearly. TGL will handle renewals upon payment. TGL will notify clients
of upcoming renewals, however, client should expect renewals and fees every
12 months and should be aware of such with, or without notice.
Domain names that are not renewed will
result in the website no longer being active. If this is not rectified
within a reasonable amount of time at TGL's discretion, websites may be
removed from our servers and contract voided due to client's failure to
operate as agreed.
|
|
Email |
| |
Each website purchase gives
client up to 20 email accounts at 500MB
each.
If larger capacity is required, an unlimited number of 2GB accounts can
be purchased at $10/yr. Of course, client is not bound
to the use of TGL email accounts free, or otherwise. They are offered
simply as a courtesy for those who may find them of value.
Free email account offer lasts for up to one year following website
purchase. However, email accounts already in use remain the property of the
client as long as TGL is providing hosting and maintenance on purchased
website.
|
|
E-Commerce |
| |
Online stores enhance
websites and increase visitors. TGL can add a store to
client websites for the selling of as few as one, or two
products to as many as several hundred. In addition to
the initial, website costs, TGL will add client products
at $35 each with a one time set up fee of $75. For clients with only one
product, we will forego the per product cost and charge only the one-time
set-up fee of $75.
TGL can also design
and incorporate an online store into client's existing
website for a base rate of $550 for the first 25
products and $35 per product thereafter. This service
includes the addition of client's product pictures,
descriptions and design, or, if necessary, TGL can
create a custom design and generate exciting, product
descriptions. If client needs pictures of products, TGL
will provide quality photography at a flat rate of only
$145 for up to 50 individual products . This fee is for photography only. $35
per product fee applies to all products added to the website after the
initial 25.
|
|
Online
Forms - |
| |
TGL forms are designed and
created for use with our servers and forms processing
services. Clients who elect to use their own servers
and/or forms services relieves TGL of all responsibility and, in fact, assumes full responsibility for
set-up, maintenance, and all other matters even if TGL
provided the website on which the form is displayed.
TGL accepts no responsibility for
information lost due to server malfunction, or other disaster, natural, or
otherwise.
|
|
Graphic
Design |
| |
Design of custom graphic
for implementation into website, or other use at only
$135 base (non-refundable and due at time of contract)
and $65 per hour thereafter not to exceed $650. This low
price with capped ceiling is exceptionally advantageous
to up and coming artists looking for top quality CD
jacket artwork while operating on a restrictive budget,
as well as website seekers who want that true,
one-of-a-kind graphic that stands them out in a crowd.
Total price includes up to 2 hours of consultation,
proof reviews and up to 5 revisions of agreed upon
design.
If a particular design is required with little
room for variations, client must provide written
specifications with well defined color preferences.
As colors differ from software to software and
printer to printer, TGL not responsible for color
variations beyond our control, or projects that differ
slightly from requested design.
Note: TGL believes in customer
satisfaction and will do all within our power to achieve
such. However, in the rare case that a client is
unsatisfied with out work, they will be refunded all
monies upon return of all files,
work, proofs and other TGL generated materials, with the exception of the initial,
non-refundable, down payment.
Depending upon the deposit and scope of work completed,
TGL reserves the right to allow qualifying client to keep and use all portions of
project completed and submitted. This is determined on a
case-by-case basis and is not to be assumed by client. Equally, TGL reserves
the right to disallow such at our discretion and without recourse.
Use of unauthorized, or unreleased
graphics, or other content will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of all
applicable laws.
|
|
Logos |
| |
Logos created based on
customer input $150. Designs provided by TGL at $250
with no additional, hourly rate. Complex design
creations slightly higher. Determinations made before
time of contract.
|
|
Search Engine Submissions |
| |
TGL submits client websites to a
multitude of free search engines as a courtesy to
alleviate client of this tedious, repetitious task. In
lieu of such, TGL accepts no responsibility for client's
placement within individual search engines and notes
that client maintains the option to use 'pay' services
to try and attain higher rankings in this regard. And, client maintains
option to repeat submission process, monthly, or as is deemed necessary to
try to attain highest non-paid ranking.
Clients who prefer higher level search
engine optimization may receive professional SEO services at an additional
cost to be determined at time of request.
|
|
Frontpage
Training |
| |
TGL is not a certified
FrontPage trainer and, therefore offers training for the
purpose of teaching clients, or persons designated by
client, how to maintain a website created and/or
published via FrontPage only.
Questions and/or concerns
addressed by TGL in regards to FrontPage, or any other
aspect of website design, implementation, and/or overall
computer skills, or other software programs, is done so
out of experience gained through personal and/or
professional use and should be regarded as no more, or
less than such.
|
|
No
Advertisements!! |
| |
TGL will never - ever - place
advertising banners on your website as a 'trade off' for free web hosting.
Our web hosting is FREE for the life of the website as long as it is hosted by TGL and
on TGL servers. There are no hidden agendas.
Your website can stay totally
banner free unlike most free hosting companies,
or nickel-and-dimer deals. Of course, if you choose to do so, you
may include advertisements to generate revenue. TGL can take care of this for
a nominal fee.
Without exception... TGL websites include the following
notation, or something to this effect, in the Footer (copyright area at bottom of each
website page) which includes a link to TGL website:
"The
Graphics Lady" with our website address
and/or instead
of our email address.
(Adding Web Designer contact info and link is a normal and quite frequent
occurrence for all web designers
and can usually be found in the footer of all websites whether they are commercial,
non-profit, etc. However, as some
clients may be more accustomed to Web Designers linking to their email
address, rather than their website, or a variety of different wordings,
as a courtesy, TGL opted to add this notation. For the sake of our "No
Advertisement" clause, this notation is not considered "advertisement" as it gives
visitors direct access to web designer in the case of technical difficulties and for the
purpose of notification of site problems such as pages not working, etc..., thereby
substantially decreasing any downtime the site may incur.)
