In the event that there are client revisions to the specified task, every effort will be made to keep the client apprised of additional costs. Revision or edit time will be billed at an hourly rate of $65.00 + GST for design and meetings.
Outside costs, such as printing, copy writing, photography and web hosting, are estimated to the best of our ability. They are estimated at actual cost plus a 15% handling fee. Management of Client web hosting accounts will be billed at an hourly rate of $65.00 + GST.
