8. Failure to provide required website content

Websites for Translators is a small business; to remain efficient we must ensure that work we have lined up is carried out at the scheduled time. On occasion, we may have to reject offers for other work and enquiries to ensure that your work is completed at the time arranged.

This is why we ask that you provide all required information at the agreed time. On any occasion where progress cannot be made with your website because we have not been given the required information in the agreed timeframe, we reserve the right to postpone the project completion time in order to be able to accept and work on other projects that we may have. We also reserve the right to close the project, in which case the remaining balance becomes payable immediately. Simply put, we will do all we can to provide you with a good service, but it would be wise to not give us the go ahead to start until you are ready to do so.

If your project involves Search Engine Optimisation, we need the text content for your site so that the SEO can be planned and completed efficiently.

NOTE: Text content should be delivered as a Microsoft Word, email or similar document with the pages in the supplied document representing the content of the relevant pages on your website. These pages should have the same titles as the agreed website pages.
