What if the problem is not fixed?

We don’t claim to know everything and there may be some problems that require specialised attention. If D.P. Web Design was no help and no solution was found, then you will not be charged for the service.

If the problem was sourced, but then not fixed because of interface limitation (e.g. Phone, screen sharing, etc.) then a partial amount may be invoiced depending if the ongoing problem is fixed by D.P. Web Design or another service.

For example:

• Hardware Failure: RAM, Hard Drive, Power Supplies, Motherboards & Video Cards can cause various problems with computer systems & functions if faulty.
• Software Conflicts: Sometimes, but rarely some software can conflict with others and may only be solved by purchasing upgrades or updating your operating system.
• Systems Restoration: In the worst case it may be more financially viable to reload the operating system.

What is the problem stems from previous work done by D.P. Web Design

Sometimes when a problem is solved another pops up. If another problem occurs in relation to the first problem, then it is safe to assume it can still be classed as the 1st problem therefor would be billed out as normal.

If the new problem is caused by D.P. Web Design it will be fixed and there will be no time billed.

• Install, setup, styling & configuration of new components, plugins & modules
• Site template upgrades
• Joomla version upgrades (1.5 or 2.5 to latest)

The key benefits to undertaking an upgrade for your Joomla 1.5 or 2.5 sites are:

• A significantly improved responsive layout across all devices (mobiles, tablets & PC’s) and platforms
• Increased security features – this is more important than it appears on the surface, and is one of the main drivers behind any upgrade
• The existing Joomla version 1.5 is now discontinued so future updates or enhancements will require specialised programming, therefore costing more $$$ to update content
• New visual template – your website will get a refreshed look to keep up with the trends of website development
