Within two weeks after the 50% deposit is received by Neo Genesis Web basic site design concepts will be put online for the Client’s viewing and approval. Communication between the Neo Genesis Web and the Client is crucial during this phase to ensure that the ultimate publication will match the Client’s taste and needs. Upon completion of this stage, the Client will be asked to confirm acceptance for the site design via e-mail and the additional 50% will be required. Once this acceptance is received from the Client, the work necessary to publish the project will begin.
The client agrees to provide Neo Genesis Web with any and all content, graphics, and other information necessary to complete the Web site within five (5) days of the date the Agreement.

Client Amends. The Developer understands that the Client may request significant design changes to pages that have already been built to the Client’s specification. To that end, please note that our agreement does not include a provision for “significant page modification” or creation of additional pages in excess of those specified in section 5 above. If significant page modification is requested after a page has been built to the Client’s specification, additional charges will apply. Some examples of significant page modification at the request of the Client include:
Clients who anticipate frequently changing the look of their site during the design process and Clients who desire to be intricately involved design of each page are encouraged to negotiate an agreement which exceeds the scope in section 5 above. If significant page modification is requested by the Client beyond the scope of section 5 the charge will be $65/hour. Moderate changes, however, will always be covered during our development of the site.
Maintenance Agreements. Maintenance Agreements are negotiated on a Client by Client basis as each Client will have differing needs. This is another way the Developer seeks to help the Client control cost. No maintenance is included in this agreement. If ongoing maintenance is desired pricing will be included in an amendment to this agreement.
Developer offers two kinds of maintenance agreements. In one, the Client pays a fixed monthly rate for such things as changing price to an item, adding additional inventory, making moderate graphic changes, and coordinating delivery of the Web site with the Host Provider. In the other agreement, the customer pays on an ‘as needed’ hourly basis.
Third Party or Client Page Modification. Some Clients will desire to independently edit or update their Web pages after completion of the site as a way to control costs and avoid the expense of a Maintenance Agreement. This is always an option for Clients of the Developer.
Note however, that if this option is selected and the Client or an agent of the Client other than the Developer attempts to update the Web site and damages the design or impairs the ability for the Web pages to display or function properly, time to repair the Web pages will be assessed at an hourly rate of $65. There is a one hour minimum.
