Industry example

Website design quote

Web quotes fall apart when build and content are fuzzy. Phase the quote like the project: discovery, design, development, launch. Clients approve milestones, you invoice against them.

Phase-based line items

Discovery & sitemap, wireframes, homepage design, inner pages, build, CMS, QA/launch. Each can be a line or a grouped phase with subtotal.

Scope exclusions

Call out what you're not doing: copywriting, stock photography, ongoing SEO, hosting fees. One bullet in terms saves ten emails later.

Common questions

Fixed price or hourly quote?
Fixed for defined scope. Hourly for discovery-heavy or legacy sites where surprises are likely.
Include maintenance?
Separate retainer line or separate quote. Don't hide it inside the build total.
