The individual(s) and or company will provide us with everything requested to complete the project as needed and, in the format, required.

Supersonic Sites agrees to provide the following services for the purpose of achieving a comprehensive and quality set of services:
Standard terms: After any site is initially presented and delivered, we have factored and included for clients two additional revision requests. Should you require additional revisions, they will be billed at a rate of $125/hr. New work requested by client and performed by contractor after a proposal has been approved by client is considered a revision or alteration. If the requested revision alters the specifications described in the original proposal such that the cost of the work changes, we will submit a proposal revision memo to you, and a revised fee must be agreed to by both parties before further work proceeds.
Our understanding is client will provide the majority of content from or for the current site and marketing materials. Should you require extensive content to be created or edited it will be billed at a rate of $125/hr. Copywriting service providers are very beneficial and often recommended.
These services, listed above, will include all email, phone or online video consultations, client follow up, research, preparation and transmission of materials, documentation and information for implementation. All data and private info provided will be kept confidential and secure.
All items listed above, are included, and are based upon the idea, brand and or website as-is at the time services are begun. Let us know in advance if you need to make any major changes to your brand and or website as it could significantly change our scope of work.
Requests marked with normal or minor urgency will usually be completed within 24-72 business hours. Urgent or critical requests will be handled immediately, as best our team can handle. If our team is unable to complete a request within the allotted time-frame, we will establish a mutually reasonable deadline for completion.
Supersonic Site clients love that they can contact us online, call in or email a request at any time - without having to follow ultra-rigid change request procedures. Although we believe process is important (all requests are tracked in our project management system), it’s less important than making it easy to get in touch.
Supersonic Sites approach to maintenance and support is proactive, focusing on creating a valuable long-term partnership with your team. Following any launch, Supersonic Sites can assist in further in providing proactive assistance, as required, for bugs, disaster recovery, and security patches.
Our core support team will be available from 9 am to 5 pm PST, Monday to Friday via online, phone and or email, with limited supported after regular business hours. For upgrades and enhancements, we will provide an estimate of hours and delivery, requiring approval before proceeding.
Due to the very complex rapid development of modern website systems, we are not able to train clients how to code or maintain a site. We always say websites are a lot like cars, and it would be akin to a mechanic teaching a customer how to repair an advanced computer-controlled engine; so much is changing, and security best practices are very important to keeping our client’s sites online. Any website changes or requests are just a quick contact away with our team.
We test all our sites across a broad range of devices and browsers to ensure your site is well rendered to industry benchmarks for speed and best coding practices.
From the date of any site launch, we’ll fix or repair anything that goes awry due to missed bugs or updates. We stand behind our product.
We love to take care of the things we build and our clients. To this end, we offer free question and answer support for the life of all hosted sites.

Please note a one-time payment of $249 plus tax is required to decommission and take ‘offline’ any website from the internet (as it takes a number of hours and many steps to complete).

Any work previously authorized by the Client up to the point of receipt by the Contractor or the Client’s termination notice shall be completed. The Client agrees to be responsible for prompt payment for such services to the Contractor based upon the mutually agreed upon hourly fee. These same terms will apply in the event that either Client or Contractor should initiate termination.
