QCS Hawaii Website Services

Quality Consultation Service offers a free website audit for potential customers.  This is a standard virtual audit of your site.  Any additional, or special audits will be charged at our hourly rates.  Websites are a highly custom project and no two sites are the same.  In an effort for transparent prices and easy access for small business owners, we have featured our services as products in our web store.  
 

If you have a large project, or require extra customization, please Contact Us prior to checkout or Request a Quote in advance.  Upon checkout, you can expect to hear from us within 48 hours to start your project.  Since each web design service is different, we have separated their terms and conditions below.  

Web Design Terms and Conditions

Each Web Design project includes three total edits.  The first edit will be the overall layout and feel of the site.  After the site is completed, a rough draft will be submitted for your approval.  Any changes or requests you have can be submitted at this time.  After those changes are made you will give the final okay for your project, or suggest a last round of small adjustments to the final project.

Unless otherwise specified Quality Consultation Service owns complete rights to the created website.  However, as long as payment is current, we may release those rights to you.  Client shall retain any rights to pre-existing websites that QCS Hawaii edits.  Certain design elements may be specific to themes, plugins, and other outside vendors with their own policies, as well as terms and conditions.

Web Hosting Additional Information

We use WPMUDEV as our web hosting service.  So in addition to our terms and conditions, theirs apply as well.  We charge monthly for hosting.  The QCS website is set up to charge each month, as a subscription style service.  If for whatever reason you are unable to pay, you must reach out prior to the due date.  If your payment has not been received by the next month payment date, your hosting service will be cut off.  If after you fail your first payment, we try to contact you and receive no response, we reserve the right to shut the hosting down sooner.

We have an added a service fee to their hosting price.  You pay this for access to, and set up of the premium plug ins and services that come with this hosting.  This hosting service includes a @yourname.com email service for your company.  Please visit the WPMUDEV website or feel free to Contact QCS with any additional questions.

Website Management Information

Website management consists of updating themes and plugins.  Making sure that the site continues to run and operate smoothly.  The hours listed on the different pricing options are not dedicated blocks of time.  That is the reason we are able to offer such competitive monthly rates for management or hosting.  The basic package offers extremely occasional updates, like change of hours or phone number.  It does not include intricate customization. 
 
Apart from theme and plugin updates, if you make more frequent changes, we recommend the larger management package.  The larger management package does include more customization options and is more like dedicated blocks of time per week.  All management and edit requests shall be submitted online through the Submit Work Ticket page.  Clients who do not may be charged at the hourly rate. 

Website Audits Terms and Conditions

We offer a free website audit for any potential Web Design client.  It includes a speed test, and a variety of SEO tests.  There is no charge for this audit if clients do not purchase a website.  We do offer more thorough audits of web presence as well.  This website audit will include up to three competitors.  We will only use publicly available information on your competitors.
