How does quoting work?
A quick scoping call or email, then one fixed written quote. Once you accept it, the price doesn't move.
Why are some prices ranges?
Ranges show where typical projects land. The fixed written quote is the price — the range informs, the quote commits.

Anything from a $950 one-page site to $10,000–$100,000+ full-service and custom engagements, quoted per scope.
