Q. Can I maintain my site once it is up and running?
A. Absolutely. However, Gallantry Web Design offers lifetime maintenance with your web site so all you need to do is concentrate on what you do best!
Q. Will you teach me how to maintain my web site?
A. Sorry, we do not offer lessons. However there are many useful books printed and sites on the web that can teach you basic to advanced html code.
Q. Do I own the copyrights to my web site?
A. As stated by the U.S. Copyright Office, you own the copyrights to any of your own writing, images created by your own hand and photos taken by you. You do not own the rights to any of the images I create for you or the design of the site. The only exception is your logo. If I design your logo, the rights belong to you. For more information on copyright issues, please view my sample web contract, paragraphs 4 and 9.
Essentially, what this means is you cannot alter or change the design or graphics of your web site without my consent. It also means I can place a small, out of the way signature at the bottom of your page letting your visitors know who created your site. Something like this: Site designed by Gallantry Web Design © 2010 (see my copyright notice at the bottom of this page as an example).
If you would like complete, 100% copyrights to your web site (meaning you have complete control over the graphics and layout and I relinquish all rights to the images and design), then we would negotiate an appropriate fee for sale of the rights.
