Websites For Traders – Terms & Conditions

Effective from the date your deposit is paid

These Terms & Conditions apply to all services provided by Websites For Traders (“we”, “us”) to you (“the Client”) in relation to website design, development, hosting, and support.
By paying the initial deposit, you confirm that you understand and agree to the following terms.

1. Service Overview

We provide custom-built websites for tradespeople (e.g. plumbers, electricians, builders), including:

  • Bespoke, mobile-friendly website design (typically 3–5 pages)

  • Contact form, WhatsApp/chat, and click-to-call setup

  • Basic SEO setup (page titles, keywords, location targeting)

  • Hosting, support, and monthly content updates

  • Lead capture tools and Google-friendly structure

2. Deposit & Automatic Plan Start

  • A £25 non-refundable deposit is required to begin your website project.

  • This confirms your commitment and secures your place in our build queue.

  • Once paid, your £75/month website plan begins automatically.

  • Your first monthly payment will be scheduled once the website is approved and ready to go live.

3. Payment Terms

  • You agree to pay £75/month for 12 months to cover the full cost of your custom website.

  • Payments are made by recurring invoice or direct debit.

  • If a payment fails or is missed, the site may be suspended until it is resolved.

  • After the 12-month term, your £75/month plan continues automatically unless you choose a different package or request cancellation.

4. Ownership & Licensing

  • Full ownership of the website’s design, structure, and content transfers to you after all 12 payments have been completed.

  • This ownership does not include any third-party tools, themes, plugins, or platforms we license under our developer accounts. Continued use of those tools may require a separate license or service plan.

  • A downloadable copy of your website can be requested after the full term if you wish to self-host (admin fee may apply).

5. Your Responsibilities

To ensure your site is built on time and to spec, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate business details, services, branding and location info

  • Supply your logo (if available) and photos (if preferred)

  • Respond to onboarding questions and content requests promptly

  • Review your website and approve it for launch within a reasonable timeframe

Delays in providing requested information may delay your project.

6. Timeline

Once your deposit is received, we aim to deliver your site within 7–14 working days, depending on how quickly you provide the necessary info.

7. Post-Contract Options (After 12 Months)

At the end of your 12-month plan, you’ll automatically continue on the £75/month plan unless you choose a different option. Other options include:

✅ Stay on Standard Website Plan – £75/month (Default)

  • Ongoing hosting

  • 1 monthly update

  • Continued support and site performance monitoring

🔁 Switch to Standard Hosting – £35/month

  • Hosting + 1 hour of updates (on request)

  • Ideal if you want to reduce cost but stay online

🚀 Upgrade to a Growth Package

  • Site & Social Start-Up (£185/month): Monthly content updates, social media posting, Google Business Profile optimisation

  • Advanced Start-Up (£375/month): Ads setup/management (Google or Facebook), monthly SEO updates, performance reviews, and strategy support

If no option is chosen, you will continue at £75/month by default. If you later wish to host elsewhere, we can provide a downloadable backup of your site.

8. Late Payments & Suspension

If payments are missed by more than 7 days:

  • The website may be suspended

  • A late fee may apply

  • Service will resume once payments are caught up

9. Cancellations & Refunds

  • The £25 deposit is non-refundable.

  • If you cancel before the site is live, no further payments are required.

  • If you cancel after the site is live, you’re still liable for the remainder of the 12-month term.

  • After the full 12-month term is complete, you may cancel anytime with no further charge.

10. Liability & Legal Notes

  • We are not liable for any business losses, lead losses, or missed revenue due to hosting issues, third-party software, or delays caused by missing content.

  • Force majeure applies (e.g. illness, third-party failures, platform issues).

11. Amendments

We may update these terms from time to time. You’ll be notified of any important changes.
