These Terms of Service govern your use of https://migratetoastro.com (the “Site”) and the website migration services provided by MigrateToAstro. By using the Site or engaging me for work, you agree to these terms. Please read them before we start.

1. What I provide

I migrate established websites to Astro. That work takes three shapes:

Migration, from $5,000. Rebuilding an existing site as an Astro codebase: content model, components, content and URL migration, integrations, cutover and the checks after it. Scoped and priced once, in writing, before any work begins. What is included and excluded is set out in that scope rather than here, because it differs by site.
Continuous development, $2,500 per month. Ongoing work on the codebase once it is yours. Requests are worked through one at a time, typically in two to three days each. There is no minimum term and you can pause or cancel in any month.
One-off work, $90 per hour. A single fix or a small change to a site that already runs on Astro, billed for the time it takes, for work too small to be worth a monthly arrangement.

Assessments run from this Site are free, carry no obligation on either side, and are not a quote. They frequently conclude that a migration is not worth doing.

I do not sell a subscription product, run a membership, or take payment through this Site.

2. Quotes and scope

Every engagement starts with a written quote setting out what is included, what it costs and roughly how long it takes. A fixed price holds for the scope it was quoted against. Work outside that scope is quoted separately, and I will tell you before doing it rather than after.

3. Turnaround

Typical turnaround is 2 to 3 business days for an individual request, and two to four weeks for a full multi-page build. These are the usual figures rather than guarantees. Actual timing depends on the size of the queue, how quickly feedback and content come back to me, and things outside my control such as third-party outages. If something is going to take longer than expected, I will tell you rather than let the date pass quietly.

4. Revisions and approval

Multi-page builds include unlimited revisions within the agreed scope. A revision request that changes the scope is treated as new work under section 2. Work counts as approved once you confirm it, in writing or in the shared Slack channel.

5. Payment

Payment terms, including any deposit and the invoicing schedule, are set out in the quote or invoice for each engagement. Hourly work is invoiced for time actually worked. Retainers are billed monthly in advance.

6. Cancellation

You can stop a project at any time. If you do, you are invoiced for the work completed up to that point and I hand over what exists. A retainer can be paused or canceled in any month; it simply does not renew, and there is no charge after the current month.

7. What I need from you

To do the work I need timely access to the site being migrated, including its current platform, hosting, domain, analytics and any third-party accounts involved, along with the content, brand assets and feedback the work depends on. Delays in access, content or feedback move the timeline. You confirm that you own, or are licensed to use, everything you give me.

8. Search performance

A migration can affect how a site performs in search. I inventory the existing URLs, metadata, structured data and internal links, carry them across deliberately, map redirects for anything that moves and verify the result before and after cutover. That is care, not a guarantee: I do not promise rankings, traffic or that search performance will be unchanged, and no part of my work should be read as such a promise. Search engines decide how they treat a site and they are not a party to this agreement.

9. Ownership

Once an engagement is paid in full, the site, code and assets I produce for you are yours. Anything I bring with me, such as reusable components, utilities or techniques developed outside your project, stays mine, and you get a license to use it as part of your site. I keep the right to reference and show the work publicly, including screenshots on this Site, unless we agree otherwise in writing before the work starts.

10. Third-party services

Your current platform, your hosting, and any integration, plugin or API service used in your project are governed by their own terms and pricing. Their fees are yours to pay directly, are not included in my rates, and I am not responsible for their availability, their changes or their outages. Cancelling a platform subscription after a migration is your decision and your timing.

11. Confidentiality

Anything you share that is not already public stays confidential, and I am happy to sign your NDA if you have one.

12. Information collected through this Site

This Site counts page views without cookies and without following you to other sites. There are no advertising or tracking pixels and it sets no cookies of its own. Both the analytics script and the address it reports to are served from this domain, and typefaces are served from here too rather than fetched from Google. If you send a project brief or email me, I keep your message and contact details for as long as I need them to reply and to keep a record of the work. The Privacy Policy has the detail.

13. Do Not Track

This Site does not follow you between sites, so there is nothing for a Do Not Track signal to switch off, and it changes nothing about how the Site behaves.

14. Minors

The Site and my services are intended for businesses and are not directed at individuals under the age of 13.

15. Liability

I take care with the work, but I do not warrant that a site will be free of every defect, or that it will produce a particular business result such as a search ranking, a conversion rate or a performance score. To the extent the law allows, my total liability for any claim connected to an engagement is limited to the fees you paid for that engagement, and I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss such as lost profits or lost data.

16. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, United States.

17. Changes to these terms

I may update these terms to reflect changes in how I work, or for legal or operational reasons. The version on this page is the one that applies.
