By using this site or engaging me for work, you agree to these terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company or organisation, you confirm you are able to do so on its behalf. If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the site or commission work from me.

I am a small studio offering website design, user experience strategy, and development, along with related ongoing support. The exact deliverables, timeline, and responsibilities for any engagement are set out in a proposal or statement of work agreed before I begin. Anything outside that agreed scope — new pages, added features, or a change of direction partway through — is handled as a separate conversation and may affect timing and cost.

Once a project is complete and paid for in full, the final deliverables I create specifically for you are yours to own and use. Until then, work in progress remains my property. Third-party components, fonts, stock assets, and libraries are licensed rather than owned. My own underlying tools, methods, and any general techniques I develop stay mine, and I may reuse them elsewhere. I also like to show the work I am proud of, so unless I agree otherwise I may display completed projects in my portfolio.

Fees, instalments, and payment schedules are set out in the proposal for each project. As a rule, I invoice against agreed stages or milestones, and payment is due within the period stated on the invoice. Larger engagements typically begin with a deposit before work starts. If an invoice goes unpaid, I may pause work until the account is settled. Payment is accepted by bank transfer, Venmo, or Cash App — whichever is easiest on your end.

I take real care in my work and stand behind it. I will put right defects in the delivered work that are reported to me within a reasonable period after handover and that result from my error. Beyond that, the site and my services are provided on an "as is" basis.

To the extent permitted by law, I am not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the site or my services. Where I am found liable, my total liability for any engagement will not exceed the fees you paid me for the work in question.

These terms are governed by the laws of the studio's home jurisdiction, and any dispute will be dealt with by the courts of that jurisdiction. In practice, I would much prefer to resolve any disagreement directly and reasonably before it ever reaches that point.

I may update these terms occasionally as my services or obligations change. When I do, I will revise the date at the top of this page. For active projects, the terms in force when I agreed the work continue to apply to that engagement.
