Soundbytes - Using your CD we can put your songs or speaking CD online with http streaming. This must be music or other sound files that you have permission to put on the web or have the copyright to put on the web for listening.
We can't put copyrighted music that others have recorded. If you want only a small portion of your CD or entire recorded song(s) or speaking recordings, it will take generally about 10 to 15 minutes per song to convert the tracks to MP3 and code the songs to play with http streaming audio.
- Video- If you provide a DVD copy of the video you wish to put on your site I can convert it to a web format. Please keep in mind that I can only post videos for which you own the copyright or that you have written permission to use on your site.

A Simple Contract:
In order to protect the interests of the client and the work of the designer and to avoid any misunderstanding about the design fees and payment time lines, a simple contract will be written to be signed by the designer and the client agreeing upon cost of the project, time lines for completion and payment schedules.
1/2 of the agreed upon price for a design project will be due as a down payment before the designer begins the project. Upon completion of the project and before the site is open to the public the remaining half of the payment will be due.
Additions to the site design or content after the initial estimate will incur additional charge based on the additional time.
The site will be linked for public viewing after the final payment is made.
We will strive to please the customer and meet or exceed client expectations.
