Disclaimer

We try to keep everything on this website accurate and useful. This page sets out the limits of what it represents, so there is no misunderstanding about what is a commitment and what is general information.

1. General information only

The content on this website is provided for general information about Alba Designs and our services. It is not professional, legal, financial or technical advice for your specific situation, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for a proper consultation.

Nothing on this website constitutes a binding offer. A binding arrangement only arises as described in our Terms of Service and the signed Master Client Services Agreement.

2. Pricing and estimates

Any prices, ranges or figures mentioned on this website — including in blog articles — are general market guidance, not quotations.

What a project actually costs depends on its scope, complexity, content requirements, functionality and timeline. The only accurate figure for your project is a written quotation prepared for you after we have discussed what you need.

3. Timelines

Any timeframes described on this website — including the four-stage process on our services page — describe how we typically work. They are indicative.

Actual timelines depend on project scope, how quickly content and feedback are provided, third-party dependencies, and factors outside our reasonable control. Your project's dates are those recorded in your Project Acceptance Schedule or agreed in writing.

4. SEO and business results

We build websites with sound technical SEO foundations, and we describe the benefits of good design and search visibility honestly. However:

• We do not guarantee specific search engine rankings or positions.
• We do not guarantee specific traffic volumes, enquiry numbers, conversion rates, sales or revenue.
• Search engines change their algorithms without notice, and results depend on competition, your market, your content and ongoing effort.

Any examples, figures or outcomes referenced on this site are illustrative and are not a prediction of what your business will achieve.

5. Blog and guidance content

Our blog articles are written to be genuinely useful, but they are general in nature and were accurate to the best of our knowledge at the time of publishing. Technology, platform pricing, search engine behaviour and best practice all change.

Before acting on anything in an article, consider whether it fits your specific circumstances — or ask us.

6. Portfolio and case studies

Work shown in our portfolio was produced for the client named, and remains their property. It is displayed to demonstrate our capability, as contemplated in our client agreement.

Client websites may have been changed, redesigned or taken over by others since our involvement ended. We are not responsible for the current state, content or availability of a site once it is out of our hands. Descriptions of past projects reflect the work we did at the time.

Any placeholder or illustrative imagery used on this website to represent a project is not a claim about that client's actual materials.

7. Third-party services and links

This website links to and embeds third-party services — for example social media profiles, client websites and an embedded Google Maps panel.

We do not control those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy or privacy practices. A link is not an endorsement.

Similarly, where a project involves third-party platforms such as domain registrars, hosting providers or payment gateways, we are not responsible for their outages, policy changes or pricing changes.

8. Website availability

We aim to keep this website available and working correctly, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. The site may be unavailable during maintenance or because of factors outside our control.

9. Accuracy and updates

We take reasonable care to keep this website accurate and current, but we make no warranty that all content is complete, current or error-free at any given moment. We may change, correct or remove content at any time without notice.

To the extent permitted by South African law, we exclude liability for loss arising from reliance on information published on this website. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including under the Consumer Protection Act where it applies.

10. Contact

If something on this site looks inaccurate or out of date, please tell us — we would rather fix it.
