1. SCOPE SNAPSHOT Service: website development. Pages: “5-page business website (Home, About, Services, Gallery, Contact)”. Responsiveness: “Mobile responsive”. Revisions: “2 rounds of revisions”. Exclusions stated: “Hosting and domain not included.” Fee and timeline: ₹15,000 over 10 days. Flag: the original agreement is weak. It has no acceptance criteria, payment milestones, change-request process, content responsibilities, or definition of a “round” of revisions. Gaps and assumptions No start date is given, so the 10 days can’t be matched to “Friday” (assumed: Friday falls near the original delivery date). “Revision round” is undefined (assumed: one consolidated feedback message = one round). It is unclear whether this message is round 1 or 2 (assumed: round 1, since the client says “Site looks good!”). Functional features such as booking are not mentioned (assumed: not included). Third-party tool fees are not addressed (assumed: paid by the client). 2. CLEAN SCOPE OF WORK (DRAFT) Objective: Build a 5-page, mobile-responsive business website for the client. Deliverables (with acceptance criteria) Home, About, Services, Gallery and Contact pages. Accepted when all five pages are live, linked in the navigation and filled with client-supplied content (assumed). Mobile-responsive layout. Accepted when pages display correctly on common phone, tablet and desktop widths (assumed). Two rounds of revisions. Accepted when each round’s consolidated feedback is implemented (assumed). Exclusions: Hosting and domain. Also excluded (assumed): pages beyond the five listed, booking or other functional features, third-party tool fees, content writing and photography. Revision rounds: 2 rounds. Each round is one consolidated feedback message (assumed). Client responsibilities (assumed): Supply text, images and logo files, and give feedback within 2 working days. Timeline: 10 days from the start date (start date not specified). Late client content or feedback extends the delivery date (assumed). Payment milestones (assumed): 50% (₹7,500) before work begins and 50% (₹7,500) on delivery, before handover. Change-request process (assumed): Anything outside this scope gets a written quote with price and timeline impact. Work starts only after written approval. 3. REQUEST CHECK Ask Verdict Evidence from agreed scope Why Add an online booking system BORDERLINE not mentioned No stated limit covers features, so this is unclear. It is likely a substantial extra build. Add a blog section OUT “5-page business website (Home, About, Services, Gallery, Contact)” A blog would be a sixth page, which goes beyond the stated page count. Make the logo bigger IN “2 rounds of revisions” This is a small design tweak that fits a normal revision. Deliver by Friday BORDERLINE not mentioned The scope has no date. The agreed timeline is 10 days, and the new additions would extend it. Revision rounds used versus allowed: 2 allowed. Used: not enough information (assumed: this is round 1). Confirm before sending (max 3) How many revision rounds the client has already used. Your start date, and whether Friday works for the core site plus the logo change. Whether booking would be an embedded third-party tool or a custom build, since that changes the price. 4. RECOMMENDED MOVE Offer options: confirm the logo change as part of the revisions, then let the client choose between adding the booking system and blog now with a later delivery (Option A) or a separate quote (Option B). 5. REPLIES Recommended reply (Warm-firm) Thanks, I’m glad you like the site! The bigger logo is an easy fix and is covered in your revisions. The booking system and blog go beyond our 5-page agreement, so here are two ways forward: Option A: I add a simple booking tool and a blog page now. Delivery moves about 6 days past the current schedule, and it uses a revision round. Option B: I deliver the current site with the bigger logo by Friday, and quote booking and blog separately at ₹9,000 (estimate). Which would you prefer? Alternate: Neutral Thanks for the feedback. The larger logo is covered by your revisions. The booking system and blog are outside the 5-page scope. Option A: I add a simple booking tool and blog page, delivery moves about 6 days, and it uses a revision round. Option B: I deliver the current site with the larger logo by Friday and quote booking and blog separately at ₹9,000 (estimate). Please let me know which you prefer. Alternate: Firm The logo change is included in your revisions. The booking system and blog are not part of the agreed 5-page site. Option A: both are added now, delivery moves about 6 days and a revision round is used. Option B: the current site with the larger logo by Friday, with booking and blog quoted separately at ₹9,000 (estimate). Please confirm your choice. 6. CHANGE ORDER Base rate (estimate): ₹15,000 ÷ 5 pages = ₹3,000 per page. 10 days ÷ 5 pages = 2 days per page. Item Estimated extra work Price (estimate) Timeline impact (estimate) Blog section (OUT) 1 page-equivalent 1 × ₹3,000 = ₹3,000 1 × 2 days = 2 days Online booking system (BORDERLINE) 2 page-equivalents (assumed, as it is more complex than a static page) 2 × ₹3,000 = ₹6,000 2 × 2 days = 4 days Friday deadline (BORDERLINE) No separate work none Holds only for the core site plus the logo change Total ₹9,000 6 extra days The logo change falls within the included revisions, so there is no charge. Third-party booking tool fees are not included (assumed: paid by the client). 7. PREVENT THIS NEXT TIME “This agreement covers only the pages and features listed above, and any additional page, feature or integration, such as booking or a blog, will be quoted separately and begins only after written approval.” “A revision round means one consolidated list of feedback sent in a single message, and this project includes two such rounds.” “Delivery dates depend on the client supplying content and feedback on time, and any new request will adjust the price and timeline in writing.” 8. QA CHECK Quotes are exact, no figures are invented (every estimate shows its arithmetic), all replies are under 140 words, and assumptions are labeled. QA: passed
