Website Design Policies

When TMS designs a website, we incorporate elements that support good search engine performance, ease of navigation, compatibility with multiple web browsers, and user friendly colors and appearance.  We do not copyright the websites we design - once it is completed, it belongs to you - our client.

  • TMS charges a flat hourly rate for website design, design time and revisions.  Initial consultations are always FREE!

  • TMS will meet with you and determine a web design solution and will provide an estimate for this design concept.

  • A down payment of 50% of the design cost estimate and 100% of the hosting and domain name fees are payable in order to schedule the design of the web site.

  • We will work up to 10 hours past the time paid for with your down payment. The client will need to approve progress and pay the balance in order for TMS to continue work with each additional 10 hours unless alternate arrangements are made in writing.

  • The design of a five page web site typically takes 10-15 hours. Additional pages typically take 60-120 minutes each.


The design time is minimized when the client:

  • Provides comprehensive design materials in an organized fashion.

  • Provides text for the website in digital format, so that we don't have to type it.

The design may take longer if the client:

  • Desires complicated elements like slideshows, hover buttons, flash, virtual tours, printable pages, etc.

  • Wants TMS to work with third party designers or consultants.

  • Does not provide design expectations such as colors, logo, or layout before the work begins, or if the client changes his/her mind frequently.

Additional information:

  • Please provide us with information to create your website. This usually includes: a brochure or comparable text describing your establishment, pictures, logos, quotations or testimonials, room descriptions and rates, policies, and any additional information you would like included. If you have specific design elements and/or color schemes in mind, please include those. If you would like to e-mail materials, please send them to: tom@tmswd.com
     

  • Digital images provided must be in PC format and in an Adobe PhotoShop or Illustrator-compatible file, such as .jpg, .gif, .psd, .ai, .tif, and .eps. The preferred format for sending text is in a text document (via e-mail, HTML, Microsoft Word, or a general text editor such as Notepad).
     

  • TMS will place a link to our website on the bottom of your main page saying "Website designed by TMS Inc.  This link must remain on the site as long as we host and maintain the site. Should you chose to move the site to a different host, you are free to remove this link as you see fit.
