1. Definitions
1.1. A “Project” is one of the following:
- a website or a multisite
- a premium plugin or theme
- SaaS or extensible system
- complete web solution
1.2. “Client” is an organization, company or individual interested in Project services by DevriX Ltd.
1.3. “Hosting” is the physical location of the entity after the delivery process. We partner with Pagely on their Managed WordPress Hosting solutions depending on the project size or scope, and we are also open to discussing other specific cloud-distributed hosting vendors as per the Client’s request, such as SiteGround, Digital Ocean, self-hosted solutions such as AWS and others.
1.4. “SME” is an abbreviation for “Small and Medium Enterprise”.
2. Agreement
2.1. “Agreement” is considered the successful process of negotiation including the list of features and the budget. Official correspondence over email or instant chat channels is considered to be Specification Documents, Project Proposals, clearly agreed by both parties. Phone calls are not considered to be official correspondence.
2.2. “Scope Creep” is the process of trying to get new features that haven’t been discussed before, within the budget of a Project that reached to Agreement. “Scope Creep” is not allowed in our process. Our Agreement policy strictly defines the type of work that will be completed within the provided budget. Anything that is not explicitly defined in the Agreement and is missing or up for interpretation is, by definition, not going to be delivered.
3. Budget
3.1. Budget is the fixed or ballpark number provided by the client for the project definition. At least a rough number is required for us to propose a list of features that would fit the budget.
3.2. We will not proceed with further communication (phone calls, meetings, proposal definition) without receiving a rough budget by the client. Our position on the subject is that we have a specific range of clients that we are able to help. We believe that both ours and clients’ time is valuable and wouldn’t like to discuss services that clients are not able to afford. On the other end, we would gladly propose a professional high-end solution for larger companies and organization, with extra perks and services if the budget allows that.
3.3. Our team performs best on Projects built on one of the two configurations:
3.3.1. $10,000 – $50,000 Projects that take 2-6 months of Development time
3.3.2. $50,000 – $300,000 Projects that take anywhere between 8 months and 24 months and include long-term maintenance, support and additional features as an added retainer plan.
3.4. DevriX Ltd. offers project and business development based on hourly rates. Our team’s rate is to be determined depending on the volume of work, complexity, and urgency, and is different for retainer plans, maintenance plans and one-off work. Consulting on a specific subject or providing a specific technical advice would be charged additionally, based on our consulting rates . See our current rates here.
4. Specifications
4.1. For Projects that represent websites we would like to receive an initial specification from the client regarding the required features and project structure.
4.2. If a specification of that sort does not exist, we offer an Inquiry Form for new projects that includes the important questions that we need for starters.
5. Customer Base
5.1. Our customer base is SME clients, medium-size organizations and companies. We are happy to work with non-profits and foundations and provide long-term retainer services.
5.2. We prefer to stay away from projects dealing with: political projects, religious services, racism-related structures or anything that could potentially offend or harm our general user and customer audience. If you are unsure of the status of your business solution, you could still get in touch with us and let us know about your business goals.
