You can register your own domain name with a different service but there is no reduction in rate.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Custom email setup with your domain name (yourname@example.com)<\/strong><ul><li>We do not host or support your email. However, we can assist with establishing an account with a third-party provider such as Gsuite. We can make recommendations based on your needs and budget.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Hosting<\/strong><ul><li>Valued at $14.99 per month<\/li><li>We provide a base level of optimized cloud hosting that is suitable for websites that receive roughly 5,000 monthly visits. This is only an estimate and will vary from site to site. We have found this to be suitable for most small businesses and non-profit organizations.<\/li><li>If your site has large, sudden traffic spikes, your site may temporarily crash. This is true for any web host. If you expect a temporary spike in traffic, let us know ahead of time and we will prepare your website accordingly to avoid downtime. The first upgrade is free. If your site needs more bandwidth, additional fees may apply.<\/li><li>Ongoing high volumes of traffic or heavy site use may result in additional hosting charges, starting at $10 per month.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Search Engine Optimization (SEO)<\/strong><ul><li>Your site will include metadata that search engines can use to index your website. Metadata will be optimized to fit within Google's search listing standards, including word count and keywords based on the content of the page.<\/li><li>Once your site launches, we will submit your new site to Google for indexing or re-indexing.<\/li><li>We will setup appropriate 301 Redirects for old addresses that are no longer in use on your site. This will help prevent a dramatic rank drop during a site re-design.<\/li><li>We make no guarantees about increasing or maintaining search engine rankings.<\/li><li>In-depth SEO is available as a separately billed service that includes market research and \"long-tail keyword\" implementation techniques to increase rankings, ad placements for traffic generation, and content strategy and writing for authority building.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Website design<\/strong><ul><li>If designs are not provided, we will provide a website design that is easy to use and focused on delivery your site's content and directing visitors to your \"end goal\", rather that be signing up for a paid service, purchasing a product, entering a marketing funnel, or filling out a contact form.<\/li><li>Your website design will be optimized for common mobile phone, tablet, and laptop screen sizes.<\/li><li>We will integrate the design of your website with your existing branding\/logo. If you do not have or wish to keep your existing branding, Lithoco will provide a \"text-based\" logo for your site. This is solely for use on your website and is not a meant to be branding and logo project, so revisions will be limited.<\/li><li>Optionally, you can purchase a branding package from us separately where we will explore logo options and provide you with web, print, and video ready logo files. As a part of the package, we will design business cards and other print materials, social media banners and avatars, and email signatures.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Programming<\/strong><ul><li>All of our sites are built on the open-source platform, WordPress.<\/li><li>We do not use pre-designed templates or themes to \"churn-out\" websites. Your site is custom to your needs. If you have a theme that you want to use for your website, we can emulate it using our own tools.<\/li><li>We DO use an arsenal of premium plugins that take care of general tasks. These are time-tested to be high quality and reliable code bases that are actively maintained by other developers. We pay them a lot of money so you don't have to.<\/li><li>If you are familiar with WordPress and wish to have a particular plugin added to your site, it must go through a vetting process for quality assurance. More often than not, we do not approve the use of plugins outside our approved batch. We usually have a premium plugin that will handle the functionality you're looking to add.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Analytics, Ongoing Maintenance and Site Security<\/strong><ul><li>We use Google Analytics to tack site performance and gather data about your users (how they're find you, what pages they're using, where they're geographically located, what kind of devices they use)<\/li><li>Access to your site's analytics are available upon request<\/li><li>We use Google Webmaster Tools to keep website changes current with Google's indexing and to monitor for security issues that Google finds.<\/li><li>We keep plugins, themes, and other software current with vulnerability patches and security updates.<\/li><li>For compatibility reasons, we do not run updates as soon as they are available. We monitor the status of updates released to the community, and once stability is confirmed, we proceed with updates.<\/li><li>We will make an unlimited amount of changes to your site, upon request, up to a half hour each month. Adjustments\/changes that take longer will be quoted as a one-time fee and wont be implemented without your approval.<\/li><li>Unlimited email support included.

Remember that we are also available to take care of requests such as making blog posts, changing text\/images\/videos, adding products or events, ect...<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Payments Processing<\/strong><ul><li>We use either Stripe or PayPal on your website to handle PCI compliance and payments processing.<\/li><li>Their processing fees are 2.75% + $0.30 per transaction. These are subject to change so please check their websites.<\/li><li>Lithoco collects no part of payments you accept online. That arrangement is entirely between you and your processor and the functionality we implement on your website is bound by their limitations.<\/li><li>We will consider other processors upon request. In our experience, other processors are more expensive or do not allow you to accept credit card payments directly on your site without extensive and costly development.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Social Media<\/strong><ul><li>We will include social media links to your profiles\/pages on your website if they are provided.<\/li><li>Providing correct social media account web addresses for us to use on your website is your responsibility.

Payments are made before service is rendered so this payment renews your website services for the next month.<\/li><li>You will receive an email receipt for your first payment only. Payments thereafter are debited automatically.<\/li><li>Receipts are available at the link provided in your first emailed receipt. We can also send you this link to access these upon request at any time. If you require receipts be delivered to your email inbox each month, please let us know and we'll make appropriate arrangements.<\/li><li>We will attempt to inform you of upcoming Annual Payments by email only, if they are applicable to your account (12 months pre-paid plans, add-on domains, third-party services we pay for on your behalf) and we will attempt to charge your card automatically.<\/li><li>We do accept checks in amounts greater than $400 but we do not accept checks for monthly payments under $400.

If your website has been suspended, there may be an additional charge to bring it back online.<\/li><li>If no action is taken within 60 days of non-payment, your website will be archived and deleted.

We calculate fair market value with the following formula:<strong>Your average annual payment times 1.5, plus half your annual payment for each year the site has been live, minus your total payments to date.<\/strong><\/li><li>Your website may use a number of plugins and frameworks to function properly and you will be responsible for purchasing and maintaining your own licenses outside of the purchase price for the site. The site will function without these licenses but may be considered \"insecure\" and we make no guarantees about how long the site will last before breaking or suffering security issues.<\/li><li>If your domain name is not transferred from us during this time, you may also be required to purchase it from us for $15.

It is Lithoco's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Website Visitors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like most website operators, Lithoco collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Lithoco's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Lithoco's visitors use its website. From time to time, Lithoco may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lithoco also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on lithoco.com blogs\/sites. Lithoco only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog\/site where the comment was left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain visitors to Lithoco's websites choose to interact with Lithoco in ways that require Lithoco to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Lithoco gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lithoco.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lithoco.com<\/a>&nbsp;to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Lithoco are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Lithoco collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with Lithoco. Lithoco does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lithoco discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Lithoco's behalf or to provide services available at Lithoco's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Lithoco's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Lithoco will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations, as described above, Lithoco discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when Lithoco believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Lithoco, third parties, or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Lithoco website and have supplied your email address, Lithoco may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Lithoco and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Lithoco takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Lithoco uses cookies to help Lithoco identify and track visitors, their usage of Lithoco website, and their website access preferences. Lithoco visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Lithoco's websites, with the drawback that certain features of Lithoco's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Business Transfers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Lithoco, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Lithoco goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Lithoco may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy. In the event of such a transfer, we will provide users notice by sending information to the email address a user has on file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ads<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Lithoco and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Privacy Policy Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although most changes are likely to be minor, Lithoco may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in Lithoco's sole discretion. Lithoco encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a lithoco.com account, you might also receive an alert informing you of these changes.
