No, and the reasons:

• Often web design companies include a free domain to make you feel you are getting a great deal, in reality it’s to charge extremely high yearly fees after the first year with hosting and domain costs.
• You might already own a domain, it’s a simple DNS transfer which Quirky By Design can do it for *free, (takes up to 48 hours max.)

* After that time there is likely a Domain transfer problem, which happen on rare occasions, Often it’s due to paperwork and authentications of some kind that are needed from client. An hourly rate will be applied to arrange and finalise transfer in this case.

• Free domains even though you own it can be often be placed under the web designers/company account, and when you wish to move to another hosting, requires additional procedures to transfer

I like to keep it simple

Quirky By Design can often obtain your chosen domain at a very reduced price for the first year and reasonable yearly renewal fees there after. For ex (but subject to change):

.CO.UK 99p + 20% VAT first year £6.99 + 20% VAT per year there after.

.CO.UK are always paid 2 years in advance at time of purchase.
.COM Yearly.

This is with a trusted Domain company with easy administration panel that you can access at any time to manage your domain/s. You have control over your domain nobody else.

Yes, you can!

Once completed and has gone live, you can add and change what you like. There is only one exception the footer Quirky By Design copyright unless yearly removal fee is purchased.

Quirky By Design will have a copy of your original and it can be reinstalled, you will have one re-installation free of charge. More than once and it will be charged at an hourly rate. You can purchase additionally a maintenance package which will save on costs.

Quirky By Design will provide basic instructions on the layout content created. However, as the main theme is Divi, there will be a link to the set up manual for different layout sections that often have video and written instructions. This will be provided upon completion. There are also many videos on You Tube that can help you make modifications to your layout.

If you are still unable to make those changes, Quirky By Design can make them for you, charged at an hourly rate.

You can change themes at any time.

If you need someone to do it, you can hire Quirky By Design, or someone else. You will have WordPress and hosting for as long as you want it.

Not a problem!

If you decide that you wish to change hosting during or at the year end, a full months notice is required. You will have to make all the arrangements for backing up and transferring your website to the new hosting. Often the new hosting company will help you do this, if you don’t know how.

If you wish to shut down your website and hosting, a full months notice is required, and a termination agreement must be completed, making sure all is finalised.

Please note: There are no refunds if you do this within a hosting year cycle.

No.

Regardless of whom you are with, the footer copyright must remain intact if the child theme is the one created by Quirky By Design. Even if you modify it, the basis is still Quirky By Design’s Design.

If you change theme totally then yes, that can be changed. If you wish to remove the copyright but keep theme, then you can purchase a yearly copyright removal or choose the one off price. 

Yes

As previously stated – the footer copyright must remain intact, unless a yearly fee or one off payment is applied for non display of Quirky By Design copyright.

There are two agreements a web design agreement before completion, and upon moving to new host or termination of website, a termination agreement both of which must be signed by both client and web designer. These are to safe guard both parties.

• The web design agreement outlines the clients obligations in regards to non payment if paying monthly, conduct of his/her website on Quirky By Design hosting, such as material displayed, complaints, copyright infringements, spamming, if your site has been hacked, etc.
• The termination agreement outlines that all business is concluded, all monies have been paid and that failure to comply with copyright terms after hosting move, or used in another design (if so similar) will be dealt with under the copyright infringement laws.
