What a real scope looks like (and why vague quotes cost you)
Concierge Web Design4 min read
Most web project disasters don't start with bad code. They start with a scope that was never really written down.
What belongs in a real proposal
- The exact pages or templates being built, by name
- Who provides the copy and images (and what format)
- What counts as a revision and how many are included
- Who owns the repo, the domain, and the credentials
- What happens if scope changes mid-project
Why vague quotes cost more
A $3,500 proposal that fits on one page feels simple — until week four, when the question of whether the "About page" includes a team grid becomes a point of friction. Good scopes prevent friction. They aren't bureaucracy; they're respect.
