We have website package deals for your business or project.

Website development process

1. Client consultation. Per email, phone or virtual meeting software
2. Quote with the payment schedule.
3. Deposit 50%. Paid per etransfer, bank transfer, check or cash.
4. (The custom package deposit amount is defined in the quote and payment schedule.)
5. Client delivery of all text. If available images and the logo 
6. Website design starts at a temporary server location.
   The current client website is untouched until the new website is ready to be published.
7. First client view of 1-3 pages and ready for comments. This version is not in any way complete in design. It’s a draft version of the general feel of the new website to discuss the general direction and what changes to implement.
8. Design and add the rest of the content. Implement the discussed changes and complete the website.
9. Complete text and content review by the client.
   >>Petrarichli.com is not responsible for spellchecking, fact-checking or any text-related errors. 
10. Go Live! We transfer the finalized website to the correct hosting/domain.
    It’s common to do minor revisions on the website in the first 2 days.
11. Final payment. No later than 10 days after going live.

The client is responsible for providing the entire text content of the website.

80% of the text must be delivered by the client before starting with the website design. 

We draw inspiration from the delivered text for the design and layout of the website. And text is placed in readable blocks and sections with images.

It is normal to adjust some text blocks. But too many text changes will be outside of the project scope.

Many times we may even recommend adding some more text in certain areas. 

The text content is the sole responsibility of the client.

First things first:
EVERY image is owned by someone

Sure, back in the days this did not matter. But, the law and technology have caught up in terms of image copyright for several years now. On two occasions clients received fines for images used on their website.

All image copyrights must be clear.

• Client delivered images are either personally made, made by a photographer or bought/licensed from stock sites.
• If petrarichli.com supplies images and assets, they are either custom made or bought/licensed from stock sites

In most cases an image cost around $10 USD or less.
That beats the $2000 USD fine plus, lawyer cost and stress as single small images can cause.

Some common misconceptions:

• “I just take the image down if there is a problem.”
  That’s not how it works. If you receive a copyright infraction letter, it’s already too late for that. You have to deal with the pricy lawyers, fines and… taking down the content.
• I got the image from “free open source websites”.
  Truly… don’t do it. It’s Russian roulette. It’s how one of my clients got a $2000 USD fine.
  – In many cases operators of free open source websites are not checking for copyright infractions of the uploaded content.
  – In most cases, the “free” use is extremely limited and does not apply to the planned usage.
  – Proof of “free use” evaporates, when the open-source website is no longer online.
• “I found it on google.”
  Ya….. uhhhm…no!
  Everything google shows is the property of someone.

Short answer: yes!

Our websites are mostly built with the “visual composer”. It’s a simple drag & drop tool.

How much a client can change highly depends on their technical knowledge.

• Text changes: Many of our clients do minor text changes on their own.
• Image changes: Depends on the location and usage of the image.
• It’s tricky in terms of file format, pixel sizes and how they behave on different resolutions and devices.
• Slider images or background images are best changed by us. They need an advanced understanding of how responsive web design works.
• Menu changes: Best done by a professional.

In most cases, website changes happen in an organic way between petrarichli.com and our clients.

For website security, we strongly recommend joining our “Website Maintenance Program”

WordPress is extremely popular for websites. With popularity comes a massive target for hackers. Hackers use security holes in not updated plugins, themes and WordPress version.

We check and apply necessary security updates daily. And run the rest of the updates monthly.
