Website Edits Terms & Conditions

We aim to complete your requests within an average of 48 hours, limited to weekdays. However, the turnaround time may vary based on the quantity and complexity of the content. It is important to note that we do not provide custom coding or development services that require PHP or Javascript work, but we can accommodate simple CSS modifications. Additionally, any design and graphic work must be provided by you as assets.

However, we are able to assist with a range of content editing tasks, such as editing pages and posts, adding new WooCommerce products, and creating new landing pages based on existing elements already present on the site. It is worth noting that any new landing pages based on external designs, such as Figma, PSD, or other sites, fall under custom development and are not included in our maintenance services.

We understand that some competitors may advertise these services as part of their maintenance package, but we believe in upfront honesty with our clients. It is important to note that theme and plugin settings are within the scope of our maintenance services.
