Upon finalization of a customized website design and receipt of full payment for web design and development services, the client assumes ownership of the commissioned website. The client may utilize the commissioned website to promote their respective company or organization, regardless of whether they elect to continue with additional services from DK Small Business Solutions, LLC. However, the client is prohibited from reselling the design or development to other entities. The client is authorized to augment the existing site with additional pages, and they may also engage another firm to do so while utilizing the commissioned website design and development. The client is not granted permission to reuse any components of our work in a redesigned website while attributing another entity with design credit. All financial obligations for services rendered by DK Small Business Solutions fall under the responsibility of the client.
