Additional text or graphics may entail an additional fee. The contract should also include information about the cost of adding extra pages, photographs or graphic elements. The delivery date for the web site may also be an important element if the attorney or law firm is planning on adding the site to firm stationary or promotional materials by a certain date. Finally and most importantly, the contract should state how much the web design company is charging per month for maintenance fees. Maintenance fees should be clearly stated in terms of monthly cost, contract duration,and how the client can terminate the contract due to poor performance by the web design company.
Domain names are individual addresses for web sites.
Just as a street address would tell a client where to go, a domain address tells a client's web browser where to find a web site. There are two basic options for domain names. A client can place the site in a folder on another companies web server or they can purchase their own individual domain name. The first option, using a folder on another company's web site, is the less desirable of the two. This type of arrangement could be used if the web design company or clients internet provider offers web space on their server.
