Amendments:
Developer strives to provide excellent customer service. To that end, the

design changes to pages that have already built to the Client's

creation of additional pages in excess of the agreed maximum. If
significant page modification is requested after a page has been built to
the Client's specification, it is considered as an additional page.

redesign at the Client's request.

requests significant page modification after the maximum has been reached,
the charge will be extra for each additional page. Moderate changes,
however, will always be covered during our development of the site and
also covered by one month of free maintenance.
Client should also be aware that significant modifications could delay the
completion date, and requests for significant modifications before the
completion date may incur additional charges, at the discretion of the
