Change request estimate

Hi,

I can help with this, but it needs to be handled as a change request before I begin.

The new request: A client asked to add two extra pages before launch.

Current agreed scope: The original scope included one landing page and one revision round.

This is outside the current scope, so the next step is to estimate the added cost, timing, and tradeoffs.

Impact: This would add design, copy, implementation, and another QA pass.

Recommended next step: i can estimate the extra work before starting, or swap it for something currently in scope.

Once we confirm that, I can keep the current work moving without ambiguity.

Thanks.

Before sending

Remove client names, emails, rates, contract excerpts, account numbers, credentials, and confidential project details before using any tool or support channel.

Keep the reply about scope, timing, tradeoffs, and next action. Avoid legal threats or contract interpretations.

A paid change request works best when it names what changes, what stays unchanged, and what needs approval before work starts.
