The honest part
What it does not tell you.
- It is a planning range, not a quote. A quote follows a written scope with your pages, your integrations and your content named in it.
- It has never seen your site, your platform, your photos or your booking system, and any of those can change the work.
- The page count is your estimate. A page that needs writing is not the same job as a page that needs loading.
- Platform plans, paid apps, domains and payment processing are billed by those providers, not by the studio, and are not in this total.
- A large catalog migration or unusual data is quoted separately after someone looks at it.
- It cannot tell you whether you need a new site at all. The audit is better at that, and it is the cheaper way to find out.
