POLICY & GUIDELINES

Development Process

Phase 1 - Client's initial signup is via telephone, fax, or website with APestControl's Sales Team and will include a discussion of goals and features, and a determination of website structure, including a template layout. Items to be discussed and established are:

  • What is the Client's preferred color scheme?
  • Are there logos, photographs, and images to be included?
  • Does the Client wish to utilize APestControl's online forms (Contact Us, Schedule an Inspection)?
  • Establish names for Navigation menu and Main links.
  • The Client will be given the option to choose flash templates at signup. (Additional fees may apply, please ask for details.)

 

Phase 2 - apestcontrol.com will develop a website design based on the Client's answers and requests in Phase 1, and will then email the Client a link to view the website in "Preview" stage within five to seven business days.

  • Client will review the design and will provide content for the pages that require personalized information. apestcontrol.com is open for comments and/or requests.
  • Client should note that apestcontrol.com is not responsible for any typographical or grammatical errors that are submitted to us. Client also understands that all text material should be proofread prior to being sent to apestcontrol.com.
  • Client is entitled to unlimited updates while their website is in Preview stage and still under development.
  • This development period cannot exceed 30 days. After this period, Client's website will go live and a monthly hosting fee will apply.

 

Phase 3 - If for any reason the Client wishes to change their website template and/or layout after the site has been fully designed by apestcontrol.com, a fee will apply. Contact us for pricing.

 

Phase 4 - Your Website will go live, and will be published to the Internet.
Note to Basic Package Clients: After the Client's website is made live, they are entitled to one (1) hour of updates per month. Any unused time will not be carried over to the following month. The updates will include graphic design, text edits, and HTML design. Custom programming, database design and flash design are not included in these free monthly updates.
