These terms explain how Sitework's website design service works. They apply when you commission a project from us. We will confirm the agreed scope, timing and any project-specific details in writing before work starts.
1. Who we are
Sitework is operated by Jacob Orsborn-Smith, a sole trader trading as Sitework in the United Kingdom. In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Sitework. “You” and “your” mean the person or business commissioning the work.
You can contact us at support@sitework.uk.
2. The service and current price
We design and build bespoke websites for UK trade businesses. The standard offer shown on this site is:
| Part of the service | Price and timing |
|---|---|
| Website build | £600, normally split into £300 to start and £300 once you approve the final design before launch. |
| Ongoing care | £20 per month, starting when the website goes live. This is a rolling monthly service, not a fixed-term contract. |
The monthly care service includes hosting, domain renewal, SSL, routine security and backups, plus unlimited small text and photo changes. It does not include substantial new pages, a redesign, paid advertising, paid software or third-party subscriptions. If extra work is needed, we will explain it and agree the price with you before starting.
3. Free mockups, no obligation
Before you commission a site, we may prepare mockups based on the details you give us. Mockups are free and there is no obligation to proceed. Until a project is agreed and paid for, concepts, designs and mockups remain our property and must not be copied, published or given to another designer for use.
4. Payment and starting work
Once you approve a design direction and we confirm the project in writing, the first £300 build payment is due before we start the full build. The remaining £300 is due when you approve the completed site for launch. Monthly care is charged in advance from launch.
We may pause work, delay launch or suspend the care service while an invoice remains overdue. This does not remove your responsibility to pay for work already agreed or delivered.
5. Your role in the project
You are responsible for providing accurate business details, content, photographs, logos and approval in reasonable time. You confirm that you have the right to use everything you supply and that it does not infringe another person's rights, mislead customers or break the law.
We will ask questions and guide the process, but delays in receiving copy, photos, permissions or feedback may move the delivery date.
6. Ownership and third-party materials
Your business content, including your logo, text and photos, remains yours. Once the build fee has been paid, you may use the finished site for your business while the monthly care plan remains active.
Some parts of a site may be subject to third-party terms, such as fonts, images, plug-ins or maps. Those materials remain subject to their own licences. We will not knowingly use material that requires you to break those terms.
7. Cancelling the monthly care service
The £20 monthly care service is rolling. You can cancel it at any time by telling us in writing. It will end at the close of the paid monthly period. When it ends, we will take the hosted site offline unless we agree a handover or alternative hosting arrangement with you.
If you want to move elsewhere, ask us before the end of the paid period. We will provide a reasonable handover of the site files and the information needed to transfer the domain where we control it. Any additional migration or third-party set-up work will be discussed and agreed with you first.
8. Cancellation rights for consumers
Sitework is aimed at businesses, but if you are contracting as a consumer, you may have statutory cancellation rights. Where applicable, we will provide the required information and obtain your express request before beginning services during any cancellation period. Nothing in these terms removes rights that the law gives you.
9. Results, availability and liability
We build sites carefully, but we cannot guarantee a particular Google ranking, amount of traffic, number of enquiries, or uninterrupted availability of third-party services. Search engines, browsers, hosts, telecoms networks and directories are outside our control.
To the extent allowed by law, our total liability relating to the service is limited to the amount you paid us for the service that gave rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business or loss of data. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
10. Portfolio use
We may show completed work and a truthful review in the Sitework portfolio or marketing. If you would prefer that we do not, tell us before launch and we will respect that preference.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction over any dispute, except where consumer law gives you a different right.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The version in force when we confirm your project applies to that project unless we agree a change with you in writing.
