Ethical Policy

I treat my clients and visitors with honesty and respect at all times.

I am upfront about my rates and fees from the start so that clients are always clear on roles and expectations.

I always work to the best of my abilities to produce high quality work with prompt delivery on deadlines.

Sensitive information provided by clients and customers is protected and treated as private and confidential. All credit card transactions will be performed on secure, encrypted servers.

I do not practice any “blackhat” Search engine optimization (SEO) techniques such as cloaking, mirroring without purpose, spam or misdirection. I adhere to the strict guidelines recommended by Google, MSN and Yahoo, thereby keeping your online reputation protected.
