What to Expect
Once I receive your inquiry, I will get back to you with any questions, and a proposal. Typically, I will develop your project on a test server of ours (though if your domain is fresh you may want to save time by having us work live on your site). I provide documentation for all work done (for example, if you have functionality added to a CMS theme, you’ll receive documentation with clear instructions for using the new system).
Syncing Files (optional)
If you like the idea of automatically having files on your hard drive as soon as we edit or add new ones, consider joining DropBox. Just sign up and install the small program. Create a folder with the name of your site. If you ‘share’ this folder with service@interstice.biz, and we will be sure the latest file versions are in your DropBox folder (and on your computer).
Payment Terms
I ask for an upfront payment of 50% from first time clients, and for projects over $500. I accept credit card and Paypal payments via Paypal.com and will send you both printable and Paypal invoices. Most clients prefer informal agreements, but if you would like to have a contract included that covers your rights to the intellectual property (and a few other basic terms), I will provide you with a contract to print, sign and send back.
Optional Escrow Services
If you would prefer to use an escrow service, you may choose from the options below to initiate a project using escrow and dispute resolution services. Please be advised that this typically adds between 6- 10% to the total project price, but has the advantage of escrow and dispute resolution services. Some clients like to start out by using one of these services for a project, and then switch to informal payment agreements or basic contracts for future projects.
If you don’t have an account with one of these sites, it will first take you through a signup process.
Web Hosting
Shared Hosting (for most small-medium sized sites)
Want to get a head start on launching your new web site? If you don’t have a web hosting account (or aren’t happy with your current host) you can get ahead by setting up a web hosting account while we get back to you about your inquiry. I recommend http://hostmonster.com as the best all-round shared hosting company of the many we’ve tried (for dedicated check out LiquidWeb). Best site uptime (I’ve hosted over a dozen domains there for over 4 years and only twice has any of them been down, and that was only for a few minutes each time). 24/7 online chat support with less than a minute wait ever. You can’t beat that.

Dedicated Hosting
After trying several, as well as getting invaluable feedback from clients and colleagues, I have to suggest (if I could pick only one) LiquidWeb. The customer service can’t be beat (check out customer websites and testimonials) The reliability and guarantee are great (30 minute fixes to dedicated server failure, reimbursement for up to x10 any downtime experienced). LiquidWeb also offers shared hosting, so if you’re not sure about going dedicated, choosing LiquidWeb for shared hosting is a good step (it’s easy to upgrade).
