$12,000 website redesign quote
Timeline: 4-6 weeks. Scope: website redesign, responsive pages, CMS setup, launch support. Payment: 50% upfront, 50% on completion. Revisions: two rounds. Handoff: final files after payment.
Scope is priced, but not bounded
The estimate says "website redesign, CMS setup, and launch support" but does not name pages, templates, content migration, analytics, redirects, QA, or exclusions.

Please list every included page/template, CMS collection, migration field, redirect, analytics event, launch task, and anything explicitly out of scope.
Payment is not tied to acceptance
50% upfront and 50% on completion is workable only if completion is measurable.
send this ask
Which milestone or acceptance event unlocks the final payment, and what proof will show that milestone is complete?
Handoff language is too thin
The quote says final files are included after payment, but does not mention repo, CMS, workspace, licenses, account ownership, source design files, or support days.
send this ask
Who owns the source files, CMS/workspace, repo, licenses, and generated assets after final payment?
The Quote Approval Kit adds the reusable pass.
The download includes quote red flags, clarification email copy, milestone/payment prompts, ownership and handoff questions, local-service add-ons, late-invoice scripts, scope-creep replies, and AI launch copy cleanup.
