Terms & how we work
No fine-print traps. This page sets out how a Winship project runs — what you pay, what you get, and the part most studios bury: you own everything we build.
Last updated: July 2026. These terms describe how we work generally; the specific quote and scope we send you for your project take precedence if anything differs.
Quotes and pricing
Every quote is fixed and agreed in writing before any work starts — no hourly billing, no scope creep, no surprise invoices. Pricing scales with the work — a landing page, a site with a custom backend, or full custom software — and your exact figure is a fixed quote, confirmed after a short, free scoping conversation.
GST and invoicing
Prices on this website are quoted in Australian dollars (AUD). Where GST applies, it is shown on your quote and invoice, and you receive a proper tax invoice for every payment.
Scope, changes and revisions
Your quote lists exactly what's included. Reasonable revisions within that scope are part of the price. New pages, new features or a change of direction beyond the agreed scope are quoted separately — again, as a fixed figure you approve before we build it.
Payment
Terms are set out on your quote — typically a deposit to begin and the balance on completion, before the final files or site go live. Larger software builds may be staged against milestones.
Ownership — the important bit
On final payment, you own 100% of the design, code and content we build for you, outright. There is no proprietary page-builder holding it hostage and no licence you have to keep renting. You can host it anywhere, edit it yourself, or hand it to another developer whenever you like. Any third-party components used remain under their own open-source or commercial licences, which we'll tell you about.
Hosting and after launch
Hosting is simple and inexpensive, and we'll set it up with you. After launch we're available for changes, fixes and the small additions every business needs — and because you own the code, you're never locked in to us to make them.
The free security audit
If you request the free audit or security scan, we check the website you nominate for common vulnerabilities and exposed data and tell you plainly what we find — whether or not you go on to work with us. It's a good-faith review of publicly reachable issues, not a guarantee that a site is free of every possible flaw, and we only ever scan a site you've given us permission to check.
Liability
We stand behind our work and fix genuine defects in what we've built. Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law. To the extent the law allows, our liability for a project is limited to the fees you paid for it, and we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses.
