BASECAMP
Style Agent, LLC uses Basecamp project management software at all stages of the website design process. The Client is invited to Basecamp and given access to upload files, discuss the projects and be notified of important deadline dates. Style Agent, LLC is not responsible for any information uploaded to Basecamp or the performance of the Basecamp system.
TIMEFRAME
Style Agent, LLC aims to complete the website project ready for pre-launch review within 21 days after receiving ALL required items and ALL ‘To-Do’ tasks in Basecamp have been completed by the Client. Required items include (but are not restricted to) completed website worksheet, design choice, completed website navigation document and photographs. When all requirements have been met, Style Agent will confirm with the Client via Basecamp and enter a projected pre-launch review date in the Events Calendar. Style Agent, LLC uses Basecamp project management software to discuss project related items, assign event dates, ‘to-do’ tasks, etc. and the Client is expected to reply in a timely manner to keep the process moving along. Delayed responses or failure to perform ‘to-do’ tasks in scheduled dates may cause the website project to be delayed and pre-launch review and launch dates to be adjusted accordingly. Style Agent, LLC controls the timeline for the website design process.
PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
During the development phase, prior to pre-launch review, if there is a period of inactivity by the Client in the Basecamp project management system that is greater than 2 weeks, Style Agent will archive the project to free up space in the system for other Clients collaborating on active projects. Client must notify Style Agent by email at info@styleagent.netstyleagent.net that they are ready to collaborate on the project again and request a reactivation of the project in Basecamp. Reactivation is subject to available space on our project board and the Client may need to wait until space becomes available for the project to be reactivated. If the project remains inactive for a total period of 1 Year, then we will delete the project from Basecamp and the account will be cancelled in full and all monies paid by the Client will be forfeited.
CONTENT
Client is responsible for providing all page content for the website except for the core pages and features that are included by Style agent as standard with each website. After the website is launched, the Client will have access to add additional page content to the website pages through the WordPress dashboard.
CUSTOM PAGE DEVELOPMENT
A custom page is any page that the Client asks us to create and add content to, that is not an included ‘core’ page included with the website build. All custom page development is assessed at our regular hourly rate of $75.00 per hour.
IDX
Style Agent, LLC uses framing as the sole method of integration for all IDX links provided to us by the Client. The only non-framed, seamless IDX integration that we offer is if the Client purchases IDX Broker service directly through Style Agent, LLC.
PHOTOGRAPHS
Client is responsible for providing photographs for the website. Style Agent, LLC will not integrate images that have been taken without consent or contain questionable content. Style Agent, LLC provides basic photograph optimization limited to resizing, cropping and compressing. No additional photograph enhancement services are offered.
20 FREE ISTOCK PHOTOGRAPHS
During the design process, the Client will be able to choose a maximum of 20 images from the iStock.com ‘Essentials’ and ‘Signature’ collections. Client must provide the Stock Photo ID number to Style Agent, LLC and we will download the images and use them on the website. The 20 free photographs from iStock can only be selected during the design process and will not be available after the website is launched. Style Agent, LLC may or may not use all photographs on the website. This will be the decision of the designer based on the design, placement, layout, content, etc. of each individual website. This free offer applies to photographs only and does not include Illustrations, Video or Audio files.
PRE-LAUNCH REVIEW
When your website is completed, it will be uploaded to our testing server and presented to you for a pre-launch review. The pre-launch review period is a maximum of 7 days which gives you ample opportunity to test your website and notify us of any changes needed before the website goes ‘live’. Reasonable change requests are expected. This does not include a request to switch to a different design or alter the website in such a way that it no longer resembles the original theme chosen at the start of the project. If larger changes are requested (such as switching to a different design), then Style Agent will estimate the total amount of time for the changes x $75.00 per hour + the actual cost of the new design (WordPress theme) and license. This will be collected prior to any work taking place.

Style Agent, LLC offers no guarantee as to the performance or maintenance of any WordPress theme or plugin, now or at any time in the future.
