We do not endorse or hold liability for content hosted on external sites.

1.6 Legal Compliance and Reporting
In order to protect our clients and the integrity of our platform, Finding GodsWay Web Ministries, Inc. complies with applicable laws of the United States of America and any relevant laws pertaining to this medium.

2.1 Finding GodsWay Web Ministries, Inc. is committed to providing high-quality, affordable websites in a timely manner. Our team is composed of experienced professionals who specialize in developing sophisticated, interactive, and database-driven websites. Please note that website development may take time. Delays or changes on the client's end, including delays in providing content, may extend the time needed to complete the website.

2.2 For custom-built websites, we will provide one design concept. When the design is ready for review, we will send you a link to a web page for your approval by email. The design may appear as a visual mock-up, and some links or features may not be active at that stage. You will be asked to review the design and approve it or request modifications. Once the design is approved, it cannot be substantially changed unless additional changes are requested, in which case redesign charges may apply. No redesign work will begin until you receive and approve a price estimate.

2.3 It is the client's responsibility to provide and upload all digital content for their website through the Finding GodsWay Client Account area unless alternate arrangements are approved by Finding GodsWay Web Ministries, Inc. This includes text, photographs, artwork, and other materials. Acceptable file formats for text include .txt, .doc, and .docx files. We may also accept PDF files if the text can be extracted. Hard copies of text or materials are not accepted. Acceptable image formats include .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .svg, .eps, and .psd. Please note that Finding GodsWay Web Ministries, Inc. does not provide copywriting, typing from hard copy, or scanning services unless specifically agreed to in writing.

2.4 Finding GodsWay Web Ministries, Inc. will work to provide a professional and effective website, but it is the client's responsibility to regularly review and manage the content of the site. While we understand the needs of churches, we do not have intimate knowledge of your specific congregation or ministry. Therefore, it is essential that the material you provide is complete and accurate. Human error can occur. Once changes or revisions are completed, it is the client's responsibility to review the work to ensure it meets expectations. If you identify an error, please contact us as soon as possible, and we will address it as quickly as possible.

2.5 A "site within a site" refers to a website developed within the structure of another website. For example, a church with a preschool may wish to have a separate website for the preschool within the church's main website. Your Web Package covers only one website. If you wish to add a "site within a site," we will provide an estimate for the additional work before starting. This work will be charged on an hourly basis at $75.00 per hour unless otherwise quoted in writing.

2.6 Redesign or Major Alterations to Your Custom-Built Website
Your Web Package includes one (1) design and the development of one (1) website. If you request a redesign or significant alterations, please submit your request to . We will provide an estimate for the work before it begins. Redesigns and major alterations are defined as work that goes beyond normal revisions to text or images. If your request is considered a redesign or major alteration, you will receive an estimate, which must be approved before any work begins. This work will be charged on an hourly basis at $75.00 per hour unless otherwise quoted in writing.

2.7 Website Redesign Policy
As part of our commitment to your ministry, we provide ongoing care for your website, including regular updates, content maintenance, layout adjustments, and technical improvements. With the help of our FGW Web Helper, we help keep your site current and functional behind the scenes so your church can focus on ministry.

To support the long-term health of your online presence, we offer a discounted full website redesign every five years for $300.00. This redesign includes a refreshed layout, updated graphics, and improved structure to help keep your website modern, mobile-friendly, and aligned with your goals.

If you wish to redesign your website before the five-year window, a standard redesign fee of $500.00 will apply. This reflects the additional time, planning, and expertise required to develop a new site that meets your evolving needs.

Note: All redesigns are subject to availability and require advance scheduling.

2.8 We prioritize exceptional client support and prefer to handle design, technical, billing, and support inquiries in writing to ensure clear communication and accurate records. If you have questions or issues with our service, please contact us at . To expedite resolution, please provide as much detail as possible regarding the issue or request.

At Finding GodsWay Web Ministries, we take pride in offering exceptional value through our FGW Web Helper service.

Requests that require extensive redesign, custom artwork, custom programming, major layout changes, significant restructuring, or work beyond the normal scope of monthly revisions may require a separate estimate and approval before work begins.
