§ 04 — Common questions

Asked, answered.

Why a range and not a fixed price?+
Because two clients in the same tier can need very different amounts of work. Page count, content readiness, integrations, and brand maturity all move the figure. Your written proposal will be a single number.
What is required to begin?+
A 30-minute call, an honest conversation about your business, and a 40% retainer to hold the production window. The remainder is split across milestone deliveries.
Do you work with existing brands?+
Often, and gladly. We respect existing identity systems, and we’ll tell you frankly if we think one is holding the work back.
What CMS do you build on?+
Most often Webflow, Sanity, or Craft — chosen for the editorial demands of your team. Excelsior tier engagements may use a bespoke headless setup.
What if my project doesn’t fit a tier?+
Many don’t. The tiers are guideposts, not rules. Tell us what you need and we’ll write a proposal that fits.

A fitting proposal,
in writing.

Tell us about your project and we’ll send a written proposal within five working days — scope, milestones, fee, and a delivery window.
