01Is the starting price the final price?
No. It is a baseline estimate for the listed starting scope. Your written proposal confirms the final price after requirements, content, integrations, timeline, and support are reviewed.
02Why is the School Website custom-quoted?
Schools differ in content volume, departments, announcements, calendar needs, publishing roles, and editing workflows. Reviewing those requirements first prevents an inaccurate fixed estimate.
03Are domain and hosting included?
Domain, hosting, database, email, payment-provider fees, and other third-party services are separate unless a proposal explicitly says otherwise. Production accounts should be owned by the client.
04Can the payment schedule change?
The typical schedule is 50% at project start, 30% at the development milestone, and 20% before production launch. A project-specific adjustment must be stated in the signed proposal.
05What if the requirements change after approval?
Work outside the approved scope is handled through a written change request with its own cost and timeline before the additional work begins.
