changes are billable at our standard hourly rates.
2. Content Architecture : Once site outline/content architecture is approved by the client, usually via email consent, the site navigation is considered ready for
implementation. Combined with the approved graphic design, this becomes the site structure. Once we build this structure per client approval, any subsequent changes are billable at our standard hourly rate.
3. Content : Provision of content is customer's responsibility, unless specifically negotiated ahead of time as part of the project proposal. Copy for all website pages and links needs to be delivered digitally and should be carefully proof-read
by the client. Two rounds of revisions will be provided free of charge. Subsequent revisions will be billable at our regular hourly rate.

is accomplished via IIW Hosting team interviewing the client about the topic areas to be addressed on their web pages. IIW Hosting then composes appropriate copy, submits to the client for review, edit, and approval. Approved
copy is then posted to the web pages.
5. Graphical content :Images outside of the website design must be provided in digital form or in a form that can be easily scanned, unless otherwise provided for in customer
contract. Subsequent revisions will be billable at our Graphic designing hourly rate.

to provide a suitable testing environment which is identical to the final production environment.

being made generally available for use. Where “bugs”, errors or other issues are found after the site is live, IIW Hosting will endeavor (but is not obliged to) to correct these issues to meet the standards of function outlined

3. Access to or transfer of proprietary source code could
result in a security risk to IIW Hosting and its clients who are running similar pieces of code. In order to provide custom software development services, clients give us access to private and/or sensitive information, trade
secrets, proprietary pricing and business methods. If clients believed that we may be sharing this information with outside developers, they could lose faith that we are protecting their proprietary information. Therefore,
neither access nor transfer of any code built for any purpose that is unique and not commonly and publicly available can be granted. Should client want us to build software to run on another server, it must be disclosed upfront
and specifically contracted for.
