Objectives
To design or redesign APestControl clients' websites. The web development team at apestcontrol.com will aim to create the site based upon the specific needs and/or specifications provided by the Client when they sign up for the program. The website will be given general content for the pages that do not require customized content; all other pages such as "Company", "Fees", "Services", etc. will require personalized content to be provided by the Client. apestcontrol.com will host the Client's site on apestcontrol.com web servers. It is understood by the Client that there are limited resources available for their package such as limited disk space and email accounts; and that not all goals may be feasible within their package price. However, additional resources and services may be arranged for an extra fee.
Contact apestcontrol.com if you have any questions.
Policy & Guidelines
Development Process
Phase 1 - Client's initial signup is via telephone, fax, or website with APestControl's Sales Team and will include a discussion of goals and features, and a determination of website structure. Items to be discussed and established are:
- What is the Client's preferred color scheme?
- Are there logos, photographs, and images to be included?
- Does the Client wish to utilize APestControl's online forms (Contact Us, Schedule an Inspection)?
- Establish names for Navigation menu and Main links.
Phase 2 - apestcontrol.com will develop a website design based on the Client's answers and requests in Phase 1, and will then email the Client a link to view the website in "Preview" stage within five to seven business days.
- Client will review the design and will provide content for the pages that require personalized information. apestcontrol.com is open for comments and/or requests.
- Client should note that apestcontrol.com is not responsible for any typographical or grammatical errors that are submitted to us. Client also understands that all text material should be proofread prior to being sent to apestcontrol.com.
- Client is entitled to unlimited updates while their website is in Preview stage and still under development.
- This development period cannot exceed 30 days. After this period, Client's website will go live and a monthly hosting fee will apply.
Phase 3 - If for any reason the Client wishes to change their website layout after the site has been fully designed by apestcontrol.com, a $299 fee will apply.
Phase 4 - Your Website will go live, and will be published to the Internet.

Maintenance

We are not responsible for any errors in content provided by the Client, and updating the same content again due to these types of errors will count towards your "one hour monthly update quota". The Client is responsible for the nature of the content that goes into the site and should take full responsibility for its content.
