Not included in the package price for sites smaller than 6 pages. This is not included in online stores, since the shopping cart software is a functional equivalent.)

3. Basic Business and Starter Website Packages only. The content of the web pages will be supplied by the client and executed as specified by the client in the "Website Planning Worksheet". In case the client desires additional standard web pages beyond the original number of pages quoted in the Website Planning Worksheet, the client agrees to pay Dianna Kobley Design an additional $__200.00_____ for each additional webpage.

Where custom graphic work (beyond the scope of the "Premiere Business Package") is requested, it will be billed at the hourly rate specified below. The store size and additional services, and prices of each will be detailed on an attached Website Planning estimate. 

4. Premiere Business Package. The text and graphic content of the web pages will be supplied by the client and executed as specified by the client in the "webpage Planning Worksheet" and the Store Planning Worksheet. It is understood that total prices are likely to vary from the final amount due to different quantities of products, categories, photos, regular pages, etc. in the final store.

Notwithstanding any prices listed in literature or on web pages, the client and Dianna Koley Design agree that the services described above in this section shall be completed for a quoted price as determined by Dianna Kobley Design and upon this amount the first payment shall be determined. The final payment shall reflect and include all elements actually completed at the prices attached.
