The terms, in plain words.
Short and specific. This covers using this website, asking me about work, and how an Edzen licence behaves.

Who I am
I am Abdul Basit, working as designbyab from Islamabad, Pakistan. Write to me at hello@designbyab.com about anything on this page.
Using this website
The pages, text, design and images on this site are mine or used with permission, and the brands and projects shown belong to their owners. You may read, link to and quote the site. Please do not copy it as your own. I try to keep everything accurate and current, but the site is provided as it is, without a promise that it is complete or free of mistakes. Links to other websites are for your convenience; I am not responsible for what is on them.
Enquiries and work
Sending an enquiry does not create a contract. Work starts only after you have a written proposal with the scope, the price and the schedule, and you have accepted it. Anything not in that proposal is a separate agreement.
Edzen Design by AB
Edzen is a WordPress theme and plugins that I license directly to each institution. The price, the length of the licence, the number of websites, support and any refund are agreed with you in writing before you pay. What follows describes how the licence behaves.
- A licence is a key tied to the website addresses I register for you. I verify and approve each website that enters the key. Please do not share the key or use it on a website I have not approved.
- The key unlocks updates and downloads, the Edzen Pro plugin, and the starter-site importer for new imports, for as long as the licence is active.
- I may suspend a licence that is unpaid, expired, shared, or in use on a website I have not approved. While it is suspended the paid features pause and the website administrator sees a message from me. The public website, its pages and its content are not locked or changed.
- A licence that expires, or is not renewed, works the same way. Renewing or paying what is due restores it, usually within the hour.
- If my licence service cannot be reached, a website keeps its last good status for 24 hours; after that the paid features pause until the next successful check. Your content is never affected.
- Edzen is distributed under the GNU GPL v2 or later and includes Blocksy Free by CreativeThemes (GPL). Nothing here limits the rights that licence gives you over the code. The licence key, the licence service, updates, downloads and any support I agree with you are what you pay for.
- What the licence service stores, and what it never receives, is described on the privacy page.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, I am not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profit or business, arising from using this website or from Edzen. Nothing in these terms limits any right or liability that the law does not allow me to limit.
Changes and law
If I change these terms I will update this page and its date. They are governed by the laws of Pakistan. If we cannot settle a disagreement by talking, the courts of Pakistan decide it, unless a written agreement between us says otherwise.

“We hired Abdul to effectively rebuild a website using for Elementor Pro. It was a very large project that ran over several months. Abdul was effective and offered good value. Communication was consistent and reliable. Use Abdul Basit with confidence.”

“Awesome work. He took a hand drawing and turned it into a graphic, exactly like I wanted. I had asked a local print shop to have their graphic artist to make the graphic and was disappointed that they were not able to do what I wanted done. At first I just wanted a second opinion from this artist because he has done work for me in the past. Besides, maybe I was asking for the impossible. Ab-creativegfx said he could do it and he did.”

“Designer was able to do (better & faster) then what another top rated PPT "specialists" wasn't able to get done. He worked tirelessly to meet an nearly impossible deadline.”
Frank Striefler -
Business Owner
“He is fantastic and beyond exponentially talented. He is great to work with and very flexible. He listens and delivers on what you hired him for instead trying to change your ideas. The work he has done for us as a team is priceless. The quality of the work is priceless. The attention to detail by itself is amazing. He took every recommendation and ideas we gave him seriously and Wow the entire team. We were pleased, delighted, hyper happy and beyond explanation. We will absolutely come back for more. That’s inevitable. Thank You Basit.”

Questions
The objections, in the order people actually have them.
What does this cost?
It depends on how much of the sequence you need. A logotype with a short set of rules is a different job to an identity with packaging, a website and documentation. You get a written proposal with the scope, the price and the schedule in it before anything starts, so you are never making the decision halfway through.
How long does it take?
A focused identity runs three to five weeks. Identity plus website, six to ten. The schedule is written into the proposal stage by stage, so you always know what is happening and what is due from you.
Why one person instead of an agency?
You brief me and you hear back from me, and the person designing it is the person you spoke to. There is no account manager in between, and nothing is handed to someone junior. In return I take fewer projects at once, so the schedule is agreed before anything starts and it does not move.
Do you work with clients outside Pakistan?
Most of the work is international. I am on GMT+5, which shares most of the working day with the Gulf and puts my afternoon in the UK and European morning. Scope, schedule and decisions are all written down, which is what actually makes distance a non-issue.
Can you work with the brand I already have?
Yes. A lot of projects start as "the brand is fine, the website is letting it down", or the reverse. I will tell you which of the two is the real problem before you pay me to fix the wrong one.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
Yes. The content lives in plain text, separate from the design, so changing the words cannot break the layout. You get a walkthrough at handover.
