Description

[Provide a brief, plain-English description of what this project covers. What problem are we solving? What will the end result look like?]

Deliverables

Examples:

• Ongoing maintenance after project completion (covered by separate Site Care plan)
• Content creation beyond the agreed word/page count
• Third-party software licenses or subscriptions
• Work not explicitly listed in the Deliverables table above

3. Timeline

Timeline assumes timely delivery of required materials, feedback, and approvals from the Client. Delays caused by the Client will extend the timeline accordingly.

4. Fees & Payment Schedule

To keep the project on track, the Client agrees to:

1. Provide materials — Deliver any content, images, logos, brand guidelines, or access needed within 5 business days of request.
2. Give feedback — Review and provide feedback on deliverables within 5 business days. If we don't hear from you, we'll consider the deliverable approved and move to the next step.

6. Change Requests

Minor Changes

Small adjustments within the existing scope (tweaking copy, adjusting colors, minor layout changes) are included at no additional cost.

Scope Changes

If the Client requests work that is materially different from or beyond the agreed scope:

1. We'll document the change and provide a cost and timeline estimate.
2. Work on the change won't begin until the Client approves the estimate in writing.
3. The project timeline will be adjusted accordingly.

Scope Creep Protection

We reserve the right to classify any request that adds more than 30 minutes of work beyond the original scope as a change request.

7. Approval Process

1. Draft delivery — We deliver the first version.
2. Client review — You have 5 business days to review.
3. Revisions — We make up to [2] rounds of revisions included in the quoted price.

After final approval, further changes will be treated as a new project or scope change.
