In a nutshell (overview):
We (WebAdelaide Studio) provide website design, development, website hosting services and ongoing support in the best of our abilities. Our services are designed to provide you with as much control over the website as possible. That means that there is some responsibility on you. Please be careful with what you post on the pages of your website, as the nature of your content could offend some and may even be illegal (things like spam, viruses, threats, call to violent activities, pornographic material, promotion of illegal substances and illegal activities). Also, it is important to respect the work of other people and companies. Please make sure that content that you place on your website is not in breach of any form of copyright policy. We are careful with what content goes on our websites and ask the same of your content.
We are as transparent as possible about services that we provide and how we provide them. For every project that we do we provide you with the Statement of Work, which outlines the work that will be done within the scope of the project. Having said that, we also respect and highly regard your privacy.

We are flexible in how we provide our services and as we are the proprietors of our Content Management System we can vary how we do our work depending on your needs.

For such services, pricing and agreements will be discussed during the meeting.
