Estimates
Sites by Sara will provide you with a detailed estimate which spells out in writing exactly what will be built for how much money, and provide a firm deadline by which the work will be completed. Partial payments should be made as specific milestones are reached and approved. Once an estimate is approved, a contract will be issued.
Setup fees
There is a flat $25 setup fee to access & download the pre-existing website from the web host or to register a new domain and access the web host to obtain ftp access for new clients.
Cancellation of Services
A 30% non-refundable cancellation fee applies to any orders cancelled without cause. If you would like to maintain your design a $50.00 cancellation fee is required. The client is provided all the account details and information neccessary to access domain, hosting, CMS console and ftp, where necessary. The design and template/theme is yours to maintain and use as you wish.
Payment Means
Unless otherwise stated, a 50% down-payment is due upon signing a contract, and 50% when the web pages have been constructed according to the estimate’s original written specifications. Sites by Sara gladly accepts payments for packages or maintenance fees billed via Paypal. (Paypal ID is sara.lambrinos@gmail.com.) I also accept personal checks and money orders. Credit Card payments are accepted via paypal.
Payment Terms
Terms: Final payment in full is due within net 30 days. Accounts not paid within 30 days are subject to a 5% monthly finance charge. (For example, if you owe Sites by Sara $1,000 and you are late making this payment, you will be charged an extra $50 [ 5% of $1,000] for every month your payment is late. So please just pay on time, I hate to ever have to charge a late fee. Thanks.
ETD & Rush Delivery
Average jobs take between 4-6 weeks to complete. Any job requiring completion sooner than that will be subject to a 15% rush fee to overall total cost.

This domain seems to recieve a great deal of visitors. How do you advertise it? It gives a nice unique spin on things. I guess having something real or substantial to give info on is the most important factor.
