Q: Do we need to bother with a contract?

A: In a word, YES. A contract or what we call a “work agreement” is a legal document used to define the scope of work, the expectations of client and contractor as well as establishing deadlines, cost estimates and so on. We do require a contract because it protects both parties, not from the expectation of deception, but from honest misunderstanding.

A: Our confidentiality statement is included in each project contract.

 

Q: How do I contact you?

A: The best ways to contact us are by phone or email, though you are welcome to go through postal mail as well.

Q: How do you take payments?

A: Payment is due upon completion of the work and clients have two methods of payment available to them. A check is always accepted. Credit cards are accepted ONLY through PayPal and there is an additional fee for processing. Visit www.paypal.com for details of how this works. Also, we do require a deposit to begin work on all projects. Your work agreement will note the amount of the deposit and details about when it is due to be paid.
