Pricing

Each request will be treated individually, as each one will be unique. The price quoted will be based on the elements that have been requested, and the time and work involved to complete them.

Also, the nature of the forum will be taken into account when creating the quote. Personal use forums will be quoted less than business use forums, and non revenue generating sites will be taken into account too.

Typically once the request has been made, a deposit will be required, also depending on what work is involved, the following may be necessary:

- FTP Access to the web space
- Database information for installation
- Admin access to the forum
- If a style/skin is requested, a demo forum will be created on FWS space, in order to allow the client to view ongoing progress of the design.
