Everything you need to know about templates, customization plans, implementation scope, operational limitations, support policies, and project workflows within the W-Forge system.

General Questions

What is W-Forge Studio?

W-Forge Studio is a digital studio focused on professional website templates and customization services.

The studio helps clients adapt templates for real business projects through structured customization plans and additional implementation services when needed.

How is W-Forge different from a typical agency?

W-Forge focuses on template-based website development instead of fully custom projects from scratch.

This helps keep projects more organized, faster to launch, and more affordable compared to many traditional custom website workflows.

Does W-Forge build fully custom websites?

No.

W-Forge mainly works with existing templates and template-based customization.

Fully custom websites, applications, and large custom systems are handled separately as custom development requests.

What services are outside the scope of W-Forge?

The studio does not provide:

  • logo design;
  • full branding development;
  • marketing strategy;
  • SEO campaigns;
  • backend systems;
  • applications;
  • SaaS platforms;
  • large custom-coded systems.

These types of projects are discussed separately when needed.

Why is the system built around fixed operational limits?

Each customization plan includes a specific amount of work.

This helps keep projects clear, organized, and easier to manage for both sides during the implementation process.

What does “Structured Template Customization System” mean?

It means customization services are organized through clear plans with defined types of work included in each option.

This makes the process easier to understand before the project begins.

Why does W-Forge avoid unlimited revision workflows?

Unlimited revisions often make projects difficult to manage and slow down the implementation process.

Instead, customization is organized through structured plans that can always be expanded later if additional work is needed.

What is an implementation cycle?

An implementation cycle is the amount of work included within a selected customization plan.

Additional customization can always be added later if the project needs further improvements or expansion.

Why are implementation cycles used instead of revision rounds?

The goal is to keep the project process clear and organized from the beginning.

Instead of endless revision loops, the work is completed within the selected customization scope, with the option to continue expanding the project later if needed.

How does the operational model help reduce project chaos?

The system is designed to keep projects more organized by using clear customization plans, structured workflows, and defined implementation scope.

This helps make the process easier to manage throughout the project.

Is W-Forge suitable for startups, agencies, or solo businesses?

Yes.

The studio works with startups, agencies, solo professionals, service businesses, and other clients looking for professional template-based website solutions.

Does W-Forge work with clients internationally?

Yes.

Templates and customization services are available for international clients depending on the project requirements and communication workflow.

Templates

What exactly is included when purchasing a template?

Each template includes the website files, layouts, styling, pages, and features shown in the template preview.

The exact contents may vary depending on the template.

Are templates sold as standalone products?

Yes.

Templates are sold as standalone digital products and can be used independently without purchasing customization services.

Are templates delivered “as-is”?

Yes.

Templates are provided in the condition and structure shown in the preview at the time of purchase.

Can templates be customized after purchase?

Yes.

Templates can be customized independently or through additional customization services if professional help is needed.

Are templates beginner-friendly?

Most templates are designed to be easy to work with, including for users with limited technical experience.

However, some familiarity with website editing platforms may still be helpful.

What platform are the templates built on?

The platform depends on the specific template and project requirements.

Platform details are provided individually where relevant.

Do templates include CMS functionality?

HTML templates do not include built-in CMS functionality by default.

If your project requires dynamic content features such as blogs, collections, databases, or editable content systems, separate CMS integration services are available through optional CMS Extensions.

The studio can recommend suitable CMS platforms and integrate them into the project during the customization process. CMS subscriptions and third-party platform costs are managed separately by the client.

Are images and demo content included?

Yes.

Templates may include demo images, graphics, videos, and content used for preview and project presentation purposes.

Licensed assets included with the template can be used as part of your project together with the template itself.

Can templates be reused for multiple projects?

One template purchase includes one license for one final website project.

The same template may be customized and used for one personal project or one client project under a single license.

If the template is used for:

  • multiple separate websites;
  • multiple businesses;
  • multiple client projects;
  • commercial redistribution;
  • template resale;
  • template repackaging;

additional licenses are required.

Templates may be freely customized for the licensed project, but they cannot be resold, redistributed, shared, or republished as standalone template products.

Are templates optimized for responsive devices?

Yes.

Templates are designed and structured for responsive behavior across modern desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

However, final responsiveness may also depend on:

  • additional customization;
  • added content;
  • third-party integrations;
  • external scripts;
  • media sizes;
  • and modifications made after purchase.

Can templates be translated into multiple languages?

Yes.

Basic multilingual translation can be generated during the multilingual setup process using AI-assisted translation tools as part of the implementation workflow.

If the client prefers custom-written translations, professional localization, or manually prepared language versions, the translated content can also be provided separately by the client.

Additional language editing, advanced localization, or custom translation work may require separate discussion depending on the project requirements.

Are templates SEO-ready?

Templates are built with basic SEO structure in mind, including semantic layout organization and editable metadata fields where supported.

Can I modify the template myself after purchase?

Yes.

You can edit, customize, and adapt the template for your own project after purchase.

What happens if I break the template structure?

If the template is modified incorrectly, some functionality, layouts, responsiveness, animations, integrations, or visual structure may stop working properly.

Professional customization or technical assistance may then be required to restore, rebuild, or restructure the affected parts of the template.

In such cases, additional customization plans or extensions may need to be purchased depending on the amount of required work.

Does template support include custom modifications?

No.

Support does not include troubleshooting or fixing custom modifications made after purchase.

What qualifies as a template bug or template error?

A template bug refers to a problem that exists in the original template before any client modifications are made.

This may include broken layouts, missing functionality, or technical issues present in the original delivered version.

Are bug fixes provided for modified templates?

Bug fixes are provided only for the original template structure and functionality in the condition it was delivered.

If the template has been modified, edited, restructured, or affected by third-party code, fixes and corrections are handled through paid customization services.

What happens if third-party code breaks the template?

If third-party code, external scripts, plugins, integrations, or independently added functionality affect the template structure, responsiveness, animations, layouts, or functionality, the original template may stop working correctly.

Such issues are not considered template bugs or original template errors.

Restoring, rebuilding, correcting, or restructuring affected parts of the template may require paid Customization Pro services, additional customization plans, or extensions depending on the amount of required work.

Restoring, rebuilding, correcting, or restructuring affected parts of the template may require paid Customization Pro services, additional customization plans, or extensions depending on the amount of required work.

Is technical support included after purchase?

Free support is provided only for correcting verified bugs or technical errors that exist in the original template source version before any client modifications are made.

What type of support is available without paid customization?

Support without paid customization is generally limited to verified template bugs or original technical issues.

Does W-Forge provide ongoing free support?

No.

Additional implementation help, modifications, integrations, and project improvements are handled through paid customization services.

What happens after the template is heavily modified?

Once a template is heavily modified, original support eligibility may no longer apply because the project structure has changed from the original delivered version.

What happens if I break the template structure?

Free error correction applies only to the original template version.

Once the template structure has been modified or affected by third-party code, any further fixes or corrections are handled through paid customization services.

How are template updates handled?

Updates may be provided when necessary depending on the template and future improvements.

Are templates compatible with future Webflow updates?

HTML templates are not directly connected to Webflow updates and are not automatically compatible with Webflow projects by default.

If you need a Webflow version of a template, you can contact the studio with a separate request.

Can templates be transferred to another Webflow account?

HTML templates are not directly compatible with Webflow projects by default.

If the client purchases an official Webflow version of a template, the project is prepared for normal transfer and usage within the Webflow platform according to the capabilities and transfer rules of Webflow at the time of delivery.

What if I need help implementing the template?

Professional customization and implementation services can be requested separately if needed.

How does paid customization work after purchasing a template?

After purchasing a template, describe your project and customization request in the chat on the website.

The studio reviews customization requests and plan selection questions only through the website chat.

Based on your request, the suitable customization plan and required amount of work will be determined for your project.

After that, you can go to the Customization Pro page, choose the recommended plan, and complete the payment.

Once the payment is completed, the customization process can begin.

If the purchase link for a plan is temporarily unavailable, you can join the waiting list. This usually means that all specialists are currently busy. In this case, the studio will contact you within one or two business days.

Before submitting your customization request, please carefully review the requirements for providing project materials for customization.

Professional Customization

What is Professional Customization?

Professional Customization is a paid service for adapting a template to the needs of a real business project.

This may include layout changes, content integration, visual adjustments, additional sections, CMS integration, multilingual setup, and other implementation work depending on the selected plan.

How does customization differ from full custom development?

Customization works with an existing template structure as the foundation of the project.

Full custom development means creating a completely new system, structure, or platform from scratch.

What types of customization are supported?

The studio supports many types of template customization, including:

  • visual adjustments;
  • content integration;
  • layout modifications;
  • additional sections;
  • CMS integration;
  • multilingual setup;
  • responsive improvements;
  • project restructuring within the selected plan.

What customization requests are outside the system?

Requests involving:

  • fully custom platforms;
  • applications;
  • SaaS systems;
  • backend infrastructure;
  • advanced custom-coded systems;
  • large standalone architectures

are discussed separately as custom development requests.

What is considered a “section”?

A section is an individual content block or visual block within a page layout.

Examples may include:

  • hero sections;
  • about sections;
  • services blocks;
  • galleries;
  • pricing blocks;
  • FAQ sections;
  • contact sections.

What qualifies as section modification?

Section modification means changing the existing structure, layout, content arrangement, visual composition, functionality, or organization of a section beyond simply replacing the original content while keeping its original placement and structure unchanged.

What is section-level customization?

Section-level customization means customization work applied to individual sections within a page instead of rebuilding the entire project structure from scratch.

How are modification limits measured?

Customization plans are organized around the number of sections that can be modified within the project scope.

Different plans allow different levels of section modification.

Why is the system based on section modification allocation?

This approach helps keep projects organized, predictable, and easier to estimate before implementation begins.

It also allows clients to expand their projects progressively without rebuilding everything from scratch.

Can section modifications vary in complexity?

Yes.

Some section modifications may be simple, while others may involve larger visual or structural changes depending on the project requirements.

Does deeper editing consume more allocation?

No.

Once a section is included in the purchased customization scope, the amount of work performed inside that section is not separately limited and may vary depending on the client’s requested implementation needs within that section.

How does the system prevent unlimited scope expansion?

Each customization plan and extension includes a fixed amount of work.

Once the purchased work volume has been completed, the customization scope is considered finished.

If the client wants to continue expanding, restructuring, improving, or modifying the project after that point, the client may:

  • upgrade the purchased plan to a higher plan;
  • purchase the required extensions;
  • purchase an additional customization plan after the previous work volume has been completed;
  • or purchase additional extensions to continue working on the project.

Can modified sections be reworked repeatedly?

The studio performs the requested implementation work for each approved modification point within the purchased customization scope.

If the client later requests repeated rework of the same sections by changing the originally approved conditions, experimenting with alternative versions, repeatedly changing direction, or demanding additional improvements without new implementation justification, such requests may increase the amount of work beyond the originally approved scope.

In such cases, the project may require:

  • upgrading the purchased plan to a higher customization plan;
  • purchasing additional extensions;
  • or purchasing additional customization plans if the purchased work volume has already been completed.

The final decision regarding such additional work is determined individually by the studio team and the responsible implementation specialist.

What happens once the section allocation limit is reached?

If the project requires additional work beyond the included scope of the purchased plan, further implementation requires the purchase of additional customization plans or the required extensions.

Can additional customization capacity be purchased?

Yes.

Projects can be expanded at any time through the purchase of additional customization plans and the required extensions depending on the amount and type of work needed.

Why are customization limits necessary?

Customization plans are organized around fixed amounts of work and clearly defined implementation scope.

This helps keep projects understandable, transparent, and easier to manage throughout the customization process for both the client and the studio.

How does the customization system stay predictable?

Projects are organized through structured plans, clearly defined implementation scope, and staged customization workflows.

Once a section enters the customization process, the required work for that section is performed within the scope of the selected plan.

How are modified sections counted?

Each section that requires structural, visual, functional, or layout modification is counted as a modified section within the project scope.

When you contact the website chat to determine the most suitable customization plan for your project, the system analyzes the sections within the purchased template together with the requested project modifications and calculates the required implementation scope automatically.

Based on this analysis, the appropriate customization plan and required extensions are recommended for the project.

For this reason, the studio recommends using the website chat when selecting the required customization plan.

Can Advanced Customization include major visual changes?

Yes.

Advanced Customization may include significant visual and structural changes within the included section modification scope.

Can layouts be reorganized in Advanced Customization?

Yes.

Advanced Customization allows partial layout restructuring and section reorganization within the included scope of the plan.

What happens if more than 50% of sections require modification?

If the required work exceeds the included scope of the plan, further implementation requires the purchase of additional customization plans or the required extensions.

What is NOT included even in Premium?

Premium Setup does not include:

  • applications;
  • SaaS platforms;
  • backend systems;
  • large standalone infrastructures;
  • complex custom-coded platforms;
  • external enterprise systems.

These requests are handled separately as custom development work.

When does a project become custom development instead of Premium customization?

A project becomes custom development when it requires building completely new systems, advanced backend functionality, standalone platforms, applications, or large custom infrastructures beyond template-based implementation.

Extensions

What are extensions?

Extensions are additional implementation services that expand the customization scope of a project beyond the standard customization plans.

They are used when a project requires additional functionality, infrastructure, languages, pages, integrations, or implementation work not included in the purchased plan.

Why are extensions used?

Extensions help expand projects gradually without requiring a complete rebuild or unnecessary overpayment for work that is not needed.

They also make it easier to calculate and organize additional implementation scope during the customization process.

Can extensions be added later?

Yes.

Extensions can be purchased at any stage of the customization process if the client wants to continue expanding, restructuring, improving, or modifying the project beyond the amount of work included in the purchased customization plan or previously purchased extensions.

Are extensions required for every project?

No.

Many projects can be completed within a standard customization plan without additional extensions.

Extensions are only used when the project requires additional implementation scope or functionality.

CMS EXTENSIONS

What are CMS Extensions?

CMS Extensions are additional services used to integrate dynamic content systems into a website or template project.

This may include:

  • blogs;
  • news sections;
  • collections;
  • editable databases;
  • dynamic content structures;
  • content management systems.

Do HTML templates include CMS by default?

No.

HTML templates do not include built-in CMS functionality by default.

CMS functionality is added separately through CMS Extensions during the customization process.

Who pays for the CMS platform or subscription?

Third-party CMS platforms, subscriptions, hosting services, and related infrastructure costs are paid directly by the client.

The studio can recommend suitable solutions and perform the integration during customization.

MULTILINGUAL EXTENSIONS

What are Multilingual Extensions?

Multilingual Extensions are services used to create multilingual versions of a website or template project.

Does multilingual setup include translation?

Yes.

Basic multilingual translation can be generated during the implementation process using AI-assisted translation tools.

Clients may also provide their own translated content if preferred.

However, multilingual implementation still requires additional setup and integration work, including:

  • multilingual page structure;
  • language navigation;
  • content integration;
  • language switching;
  • multilingual CMS organization;
  • layout adaptation;
  • responsive adjustments;
  • project restructuring where needed.

For this reason, multilingual projects are handled through separate Multilingual Extensions regardless of whether the translated content is generated during implementation or provided by the client.

If the multilingual system requires CMS integration, the required CMS platform or subscription must be purchased and managed directly by the client before implementation begins.

What is included in Simple Multilingual Setup?

Includes:

  • up to 1 languages;

When are Page Customization Extensions used?

They are typically used when:

  • the purchased plan has reached its customization limit;
  • additional section modifications are required;
  • deeper customization is needed for specific existing pages;
  • individual pages require Advanced or Premium-level customization beyond the current plan scope.

When should I use an extension instead of upgrading the entire plan?

Yes.

A project may use different customization levels for different existing pages depending on the required amount of work.

For example, a project may use:

  • Basic Setup for most pages;
  • Advanced Customization for selected pages;
  • Premium Customization for specific high-priority pages.

Do Page Customization Extensions include creating completely new pages?

No.

Page Customization Extensions apply only to existing template pages and existing page structures.

Creating completely new pages from scratch is considered separate development work and is discussed individually outside the standard customization system.

  • other required project assets.

Who is responsible for content quality?

The client is responsible for the accuracy, legality, ownership, and quality of all provided project materials.

Does the studio verify copyright ownership?

No.

The client is responsible for ensuring they have the legal right to use all provided content, media, branding assets, and materials.

What happens if materials are missing?

Missing materials may delay the implementation process until the required project assets are provided.

Can placeholder content be used temporarily?

Yes.

Temporary placeholder content may be used during implementation if the final project materials are not yet available.

Does multilingual content need to be provided separately?

Yes.

Each language version requires separate translated content unless AI-assisted translation is used during the multilingual implementation process.

Can the studio generate AI-assisted translations?

Yes.

Basic AI-assisted translation may be used during multilingual implementation depending on the project requirements and selected extensions.

Who is responsible for reviewing translations?

The client is responsible for reviewing and approving all translated content before final publication.

What happens if provided materials change during implementation?

Major content changes after implementation has started may require additional customization plans or extensions depending on the amount of additional work created by those changes.

Are there formatting requirements for submitted materials?

Yes.

Project materials should be provided in a clear, organized, and implementation-ready format whenever possible.

Can the studio reorganize unstructured materials?

Basic content organization may be possible during implementation, but heavily unstructured, incomplete, or disorganized materials may require additional customization scope.

Are clients responsible for legal pages and policies?

Yes.

The client is responsible for providing the final versions of:

  • privacy policies;
  • terms of service;
  • cookie policies;
  • disclaimers;
  • legal notices;

Can client requests be rejected?

Yes.

The studio may decline requests that fall outside the available implementation scope, technical direction, or operational structure of the studio.

Why are operational limitations important?

Customization plans work within clearly defined implementation scope and measurable amounts of work.

This helps keep projects understandable, transparent, and manageable throughout the implementation process.

How does W-Forge prevent scope creep?

Projects are organized through customization plans, extensions, and clearly defined implementation scope.

Additional work beyond the purchased scope requires additional customization plans or extensions.

Workflow & Implementation

How does the implementation process work?

The implementation process usually follows these steps:

  • project request through the website chat;
  • project evaluation;
  • customization plan selection;
  • purchase of the required plan and extensions;
  • submission of project materials;
  • implementation process;
  • final review and project delivery.

What happens after purchasing customization?

After purchasing a customization plan, the studio contacts the client using the email address provided during the purchase process in order to review the project requirements and confirm whether the purchased plan matches the requested implementation scope.

To avoid mistakes when choosing a customization plan, the studio strongly recommends discussing the project requirements in the website chat before making a purchase.

If the requested implementation scope exceeds the limits of the purchased plan, the project may require:

  • upgrading to a higher customization plan;
  • purchasing additional customization extensions;
  • or adding additional implementation scope depending on the project requirements.

After the project requirements are reviewed and confirmed, the studio discusses with the client what project materials are available and what can be provided for implementation.

Depending on the project, this may include:

  • text content;
  • images and videos;
  • logos and branding materials;
  • translated content;
  • links;
  • contact information;
  • project notes;
  • downloadable files;
  • other implementation materials.

The materials and implementation workflow are discussed individually depending on the structure and requirements of the project.

Once the required materials are received, the implementation process begins.

How are projects evaluated?

Projects are evaluated based on:

  • the purchased template structure;
  • the number of sections requiring modification;
  • the required customization level;
  • integrations;
  • multilingual requirements;
  • CMS requirements;
  • additional implementation scope.

How is the required customization plan determined?

The required customization plan is determined through the website chat.

During the request process, the system analyzes:

  • the purchased template;
  • the number of sections;
  • the required modifications;
  • requested integrations;
  • additional implementation requirements.

Based on this analysis, the suitable customization plan and required extensions are recommended.

What is the implementation sequence?

Implementation is usually performed step-by-step according to the approved project scope and purchased customization plan.

How are modified sections processed?

Sections included in the customization scope are processed individually based on the required implementation work for each section.

Can clients request changes during implementation?

Yes.

However, additional changes beyond the purchased implementation scope require additional customization plans or extensions.

What happens if the project scope changes mid-process?

If the client requests additional work after the implementation process has already started, the new work is reviewed separately.

If the requested changes exceed the scope of the purchased customization plan, continuing the project requires:

  • purchasing additional customization plans;
  • purchasing the required extensions;
  • or upgrading the current implementation scope.

The implementation process continues only after the additional scope has been reviewed and approved.

How are additional requests handled?

Additional requests are evaluated separately based on the required implementation scope.

If additional work exceeds the purchased scope, additional customization plans or extensions are required.

What is considered project completion?

A project is considered completed once the purchased implementation scope and approved customization work have been finished.

Can the project continue after the purchased scope is completed?

Yes.

After the amount of work included in the purchased customization plan or extension has been completed, the customization project is considered finished.

If the client wants additional modifications, restructuring, improvements, or further work after that point, the client must purchase an additional customization plan or extension.

What happens after the implementation cycle ends?

Once the purchased implementation scope has been completed, any further work requires additional customization plans or extensions.

Are turnaround times guaranteed?

No.

Implementation timelines may vary depending on:

  • project complexity;
  • current workload;
  • response times;
  • material readiness;
  • implementation scope.

How are project priorities managed?

Projects are generally processed according to the current implementation queue, project scope, and active workload at the time of the request.

Payments & Gumroad

How are templates purchased?

Templates are purchased through Gumroad using the purchase links provided on the website.

After payment is completed, the purchased digital product becomes available through the Gumroad delivery system.

What payment platforms are supported?

Payments are processed through Gumroad and its supported payment systems.

Available payment methods may depend on the client’s region and Gumroad’s current payment options.

Are purchases refundable?

No.

Digital template purchases are non-refundable after delivery.

Customization plans, extensions, and purchased implementation work are also non-refundable after the implementation process has started.

Why are digital product sales generally non-refundable?

Digital products are delivered immediately after purchase and cannot be returned in the same way as physical goods.

For this reason, clients are strongly encouraged to review template information and discuss customization requirements before purchasing.

How are customization services billed?

Customization services are purchased through fixed customization plans and extensions.

When is payment required?

Payment is required before the purchased customization work begins.

Are installment payments available?

No.

Customization plans, extensions, and template purchases are paid in full before implementation begins.

What happens if the client abandons the project?

If the client stops communication, does not provide the required materials, or abandons the project after implementation work has already started, completed work and purchased customization scope remain non-refundable.

The project may continue later through additional discussion and further customization purchases if needed.

Are additional modifications billed separately?

The purchased customization plan or extension includes the amount of work approved before implementation begins.

Minor adjustments, simple corrections, and small content updates may be performed during the implementation process if they remain within the purchased customization scope and do not create additional section modifications, restructuring, integrations, or expansion of the approved work volume.

Any new requests that:

  • create additional section modifications;
  • increase the amount of approved work;
  • expand the implementation scope;
  • require additional restructuring;
  • require additional integrations;
  • or create ongoing implementation requests

are considered additional work that changes the original implementation conditions.

Such requests are reviewed separately by the studio team, after which the client may be offered the purchase of a plan upgrade or additional extensions.

How are taxes and invoices handled?

Payments, taxes, invoices, and transaction processing are handled through Gumroad and its payment infrastructure according to the client’s region and applicable payment regulations.

Technical Questions

Which platform does W-Forge use?

W-Forge primarily works with HTML website templates.

Some projects may also use Webflow versions of templates when such versions are available or requested separately.

Do clients need a Webflow account?

No.

HTML templates do not require a Webflow account.

A Webflow account is only required if the client purchases or requests a Webflow version of a template.

Is Webflow hosting included?

No.

Webflow hosting, subscriptions, workspace plans, and related Webflow services are paid separately by the client.

Can templates work without Webflow hosting?

Yes.

HTML templates work independently from Webflow hosting and can be deployed to standard hosting providers and servers.

Are templates optimized for performance?

Templates are structured for modern responsive website performance and standard frontend optimization practices.

However, final performance may also depend on:

  • hosting quality;
  • added integrations;
  • media optimization;
  • third-party scripts;
  • CMS usage;
  • and future project modifications.

Are animations included?

Some templates may include animations, transitions, interactive effects, or motion elements depending on the template design and structure.

Can custom code be added later?

Yes.

Custom code may be added later depending on the technical structure of the project and the required implementation scope.

More advanced custom functionality may require additional customization plans or extensions.

What happens if third-party integrations fail?

The studio is not responsible for failures, instability, API changes, subscription problems, platform limitations, or technical issues caused by third-party services or external integrations.

Additional troubleshooting or restructuring caused by third-party systems may require additional customization plans or extensions.

Are templates compatible with mobile devices?

Yes.

Templates are designed for responsive behavior across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Can CMS structures be expanded?

Yes.

CMS structures may be expanded later through additional CMS Extensions depending on the required implementation scope.

Are external scripts officially supported?

No.

External scripts, third-party plugins, external code libraries, and independently added integrations are not officially supported by the studio unless they were implemented directly as part of the purchased customization work.

Can the project be migrated later?

Yes.

Projects may later be migrated, expanded, rebuilt, or transferred depending on the technical structure of the project and the target platform requirements.

Are accessibility standards considered?

Basic accessibility practices may be considered during implementation where reasonably possible within the selected customization scope and template structure.

Support

What support is included after purchase?

Free support is limited to verified technical errors that exist in the original template version before any client modifications are made.

What qualifies as technical support?

Technical support is limited to reviewing and correcting verified problems related to the original template structure or functionality.

What qualifies as a verified template bug?

A verified template bug is a technical problem that:

  • exists in the original delivered template;
  • is reproducible;
  • was not caused by client modifications;
  • was not caused by third-party code;
  • and was not created after restructuring or external integrations.

Does support cover client-made modifications?

No.

Client-made modifications, restructuring, added integrations, custom code, or independently changed template structures are not covered by free error correction.

Does support include custom code troubleshooting?

No.

Troubleshooting custom code, third-party scripts, external integrations, plugins, or independently added functionality is not included in free support.

What happens if the template is modified after purchase?

Free support applies only to the original code, structure, functionality, and technical implementation organically included in the template by the studio as the template author and developer.

Troubleshooting, fixing, or supporting:

  • client-added code;
  • third-party scripts;
  • external integrations;
  • plugins;
  • independently modified functionality;

is not included in free support and is handled through paid customization services.

Is ongoing maintenance included?

No.

Ongoing maintenance, continuous updates, monitoring, administration, or long-term project management are not included after purchase.

How is paid support handled?

Additional fixes, troubleshooting, restructuring, implementation work, and technical corrections are handled through paid customization plans and extensions.

Is Customization Pro the primary support channel?

Yes.

Most additional implementation help, technical corrections, restructuring, integrations, project improvements, and post-purchase modifications are handled through the paid Customization Pro system.

Are emergency fixes available?

Verified bugs or technical errors that exist in the original template source version created by the studio are corrected as soon as reasonably possible during the studio’s working hours based on Spain time.

Emergency fixes are not guaranteed for:

  • third-party systems;
  • external integrations;
  • client-made modifications;
  • externally added code;
  • hosting problems;
  • platform limitations;
  • or technical issues caused outside the original template source structure.

Such work may require paid Customization Pro services, additional customization plans, or extensions depending on the amount of required work.

How are support requests evaluated?

Support requests are reviewed based on:

  • whether the issue exists in the original template;
  • whether the template has been modified;
  • whether third-party code is involved;
  • and whether the request falls within free error correction or paid customization work.

Custom Development Requests

What qualifies as a custom development request?

A request may be considered custom development when it requires:

  • completely new page creation from scratch;
  • backend systems;
  • applications;
  • SaaS functionality;
  • advanced external integrations;
  • complex automation systems;
  • standalone technical infrastructure;
  • or large custom-coded functionality outside the existing template structure.

How are custom requests evaluated?

Custom requests are reviewed individually based on:

  • technical complexity;
  • implementation requirements;
  • required infrastructure;
  • project scale;
  • and compatibility with the studio’s current workflow and technical direction.

Why are custom systems excluded from standard plans?

Standard customization plans are designed for structured template customization within predictable implementation scope.

Custom systems, standalone applications, backend platforms, and completely new technical architectures require separate planning and development processes.

Can completely new pages be built?

Yes.

However, completely new pages created from scratch are considered separate development work outside the standard customization system.

Can fully custom website systems be requested?

Yes.

However, fully custom systems are reviewed individually and are not included in standard customization plans or extensions.

Are backend integrations supported?

Standard customization plans and extensions do not include:

  • backend systems;
  • server-side applications;
  • standalone databases;
  • SaaS infrastructure;
  • custom API systems;
  • authentication systems;
  • user account systems;
  • payment processing architecture;
  • or custom server infrastructure.

Requests involving such systems are treated as separate custom development work.

Are external applications supported?

Standard customization plans and extensions do not include:

  • external application development;
  • SaaS platform development;
  • standalone web applications;
  • custom dashboards;
  • account systems;
  • CRM systems;
  • ERP systems;
  • marketplace systems;
  • booking platforms;
  • advanced automation platforms;
  • or independently managed external infrastructures.

Embedding or connecting standard third-party services inside the existing template structure may be possible if they work without rebuilding the project architecture.

Requests involving external application logic, platform infrastructure, or independently managed external systems are treated as separate custom development work.

Can projects transition from customization to custom development?

Yes.

If a project grows beyond the limits of structured template customization, it may later transition into separate custom development work depending on the client’s goals and technical requirements.

How are custom projects priced?

Custom development projects are evaluated and priced individually based on:

  • technical complexity;
  • infrastructure requirements;
  • amount of development work;
  • integrations;
  • backend requirements;
  • and overall project scale.

Does W-Forge accept all custom requests?

No.

The studio may decline requests that:

  • fall outside the studio’s technical direction;
  • exceed current operational capacity;
  • require unsupported infrastructure;
  • or are incompatible with the studio’s workflow and implementation model.

Why are custom requests negotiated separately?

Custom development projects usually require individual evaluation, planning, technical architecture discussion, and separate implementation strategy beyond the standard customization system.
