  30. Sea Urchin Sporting Goods Question 1: Is there a maintenance contract with this site?

  31. Sea Urchin Sporting Goods Answer 1: No. Key staff members will be trained to use and maintain this website, both front and back end. This will help in order to ensure complete system uptime and customer accessibility.

  35. Sea Urchin Sporting Goods Answer 3: A new scope is only likely to be approved after the project has already started if it provides significant advantage to the current scope and only causes minimal, if any, changes to the project work already completed.

  36. Sea Urchin Sporting Goods Question 4: Will your database be scalable as the business requirements change and grow in the Sea Urchins Sporting Goods store?

  37. Sea Urchin Sporting Goods Answer 4: Yes. Because we are using software built specifically for this purpose, this should not be a problem in terms of cost or time required to implement the required changes.

  39. Sea Urchin Sporting Goods Answer 5: Method of payment, currently only two options available: credit card and cheque/money order. Previously customers could phone in an order and pay in person.
