  • When applications are developed on servers not provided by Us, the client is responsible for obtaining any information, additional software, support, or cooperation related to the server required to properly implement the application. The client is responsible for providing a suitable testing environment identical to the final production environment when developing large applications.
  • Any application or programming related to a Ira site must be tested fully by the client before it is made generally available. We will endeavour (but are not obligated) to correct “bugs”, errors, or other issues found after the site is live in order to meet the brief’s functional standards.

Search engine optimization

Images and photographs

  • Images and photographs should be in digital format, usually no smaller than 1024×768 pixels. It is also important that they have a resolution that allows them to be resized and used on screens. Scan paper photographs are acceptable, but there may be additional costs due to the time spent scanning and retouching the images. Depending on the project and the number of images involved, this will vary.
  • We will charge separately for images obtained from third parties or stock photographers.
  • Clients guarantee that any text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, or any artwork provided to the Company for inclusion on their website is legally permitted to be used.

  • You can usually find Copyright and your business or company name at the bottom of the website page(s) after payment has been completed. We reserve the right to place a small and unobtrusive link at the bottom of your website as the company responsible for the design and/or development. As a result, your website’s design won’t be hindered or distracted.
