6. The web pages will be designed to be clearly viewable at a screen resoultion of 800 pixels by 600 pixels or higher.

10. Fishscape Web Design will initially place the client's website on Fishscape Web Design's website in order that the client may view and comment upon the website's progress. When both Fishscape Web Design and the client agree that the website meets the criteria agreed during the commissioning process, Fishscape Web Design will invoice the client for the full amount due for the commission. On receipt of payment, Fishscape Web Design will publish the website on the client's server, or provide the source code for the site via a download for the client to upload.

We maintain up-to-date anti-virus measures on our computers but it is up to the client to ensure that any media supplied by fishscape are free of computer viruses, trojans, spyware, etc., by carrying out a scan prior to installing any file provided by us.
