Terms of service.

Using this site

You can read this site, share links to it, and submit forms in good faith. Don't try to break it, scrape it at scale, send abusive content through the forms, or pretend to be someone you're not.

No agreement until it's written down

Submitting the contact form, the free website review form, or the project intake form on /start is not a contract. Trading emails about a possible project is not a contract either. A project officially starts when both sides have signed off on a written quote and scope document by email and the agreed deposit has been received.

Quotes, packages, and pricing

The package prices shown on this site — Starter Page from $750, Local Business Site from $1,250, and Growth Site from $1,950 — are starting points, not final prices. The "from" matters: pages, integrations, content needs, and timeline can move the number. Your written quote is the binding figure. Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date sent.

Standard payment is a 50% deposit to start and 50% on launch, in US dollars, unless your written quote says otherwise.

What you get when a project ships

Once your site is built and handed off, the website code, the content I produced for it, and the domain (if you registered one in your own name during the project) are yours. You receive the source files, the deployed site, and the credentials needed to keep it running. The project is then closed out.

Digital Doorframe does not offer monthly maintenance, retainer plans, ongoing updates, "care plans," or paid post-launch support — not at any price. This is the single biggest difference between this shop and most agencies, and it is intentional. If you need someone to manage your site after handoff, you'll need to hire a separate developer or agency for that.

The exception: if a bug in the work I delivered shows up within 14 days of launch, I'll fix it at no charge. After that 14-day window, the site is yours to maintain.

Your content and your business info

You are responsible for making sure any text, photos, logos, reviews, and other materials you give me are yours to use or properly licensed. I will not knowingly publish material that infringes on someone else's rights, and I will not invent customer reviews, fake locations, or made-up service areas just to fill out a page.

I may show the finished site in my own portfolio (the /work page on this site) and mention your business name as a client, unless you ask me in writing not to.

No guarantees on rankings or results

I set up local SEO basics properly: clean titles and meta descriptions, an XML sitemap, robots.txt, LocalBusiness structured data, working contact methods, and mobile-friendly markup. I do not promise specific Google rankings, traffic numbers, lead volume, or revenue from your site. Anyone who guarantees a #1 spot on Google is making it up.

Third-party services

Sites I build commonly connect to third-party services that you sign up for in your own name — a domain registrar, an email host, a booking tool, a payment processor, Google Business Profile, and so on. Those services have their own terms, fees, and outages. Because the accounts are yours, I'm not responsible for downtime, price changes, or policy changes on services you control after handoff.

Liability

digitaldoorframe.com and any work delivered are provided on an "as is" basis. To the fullest extent allowed by Michigan law, Digital Doorframe's total liability for any claim related to a given project is limited to the fees you actually paid for that project. Digital Doorframe is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — including lost profits, lost leads, or lost rankings. Nothing on this site is legal, financial, or tax advice.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that can't be resolved by a normal email exchange will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Michigan.
