WHAT GOES INTO A WEBSITE QUOTE?

Start with the work your website must do. Then compare the scope behind the price.

Two proposals can look the same above the water. The scope underneath is what you compare.
The short answer

Price follows the work.

A website quote is shaped by the pages, features, supplied materials and changes needed before launch. Page count alone misses much of the work: a simple contact page and a booking system can each look like one page.

Smaller website projects are available at $500 where the agreed scope fits. Every project is quoted for the work involved; the $2,000 package is one option.

There is no fixed $500 feature list. The written scope is what makes a price useful to compare.

See Quattro’s website build service for the agreed process and an example page structure.

What changes the quote

Five things to compare.

  1. 1

    Content readiness.

    Approved copy, usable photos and existing branding reduce unknowns. Rewriting every service description or sourcing licensed images adds work.

  2. 2

    Customer actions.

    Call/email links and a basic inquiry form are different from booking, checkout, accounts or integrations. Name the required action and where the information should go.

  3. 3

    Page structure.

    A short brochure site and a large service library need different planning. Ask which pages are included and who supplies their content.

  4. 4

    Existing-site work.

    A move may involve old URLs, files, email dependencies and account access. Confirm what will be retained and what needs redirecting.

  5. 5

    Revisions and handover.

    Compare the included review rounds, what counts as extra work, who owns the accounts and which files can be transferred.

A concrete comparison

Same business. Different scope.

Hypothetical example

A repair business already has a logo, five approved photos and accurate service copy. One proposal presents that material on a few static pages with an inquiry route. Another also rewrites the copy, migrates an old site and adds online booking.

The second proposal carries more work even if both show the same number of main navigation links. Neither is a price quote or a promise that the first fits $500. Compare each line of scope against what the business actually needs.

After launch

Separate launch from running costs.

Accounts and renewals

Ask for domain, hosting, email and optional service charges separately from the build. Keep the accounts in your name and check renewal costs with the provider. An included first year can still create a later bill.

Optional care

Care is another choice. Quattro’s optional Website Care is $150/month; Care and Content is $300/month. Compare the full inclusions and shared time limits rather than assuming every edit or new feature is included.

Before you agree

A quote you can check.

  • Exact pages, features and form destination.
  • Copy, branding and photo responsibilities, including usage rights.
  • Review rounds and how extra work is quoted.
  • Price, payment triggers, dates and applicable tax.
  • Account ownership, transferable files and third-party licenses.
  • Hosting, renewals and optional care priced separately.

Quattro’s $2,000 package

Quattro’s $2,000 package includes up to three static pages, one basic inquiry form, existing branding, light edits of supplied copy and two revision rounds. Its payments are $1,000 upfront and $1,000 after approval of the completed preview, before launch. Other projects use their own written terms.
