Overview
Guide prices
Use the bands to see which kind of project you are pricing. The written quote names the pages, what is included, and what is not.
Copy you have not written, a large catalogue, and monthly updates move the figure. I say that before you accept.

In practice
How to read the numbers
£500, £1,200, £2,400 and £3,000+ are starting points for the agreed scope. They are not a day rate and they are not a ceiling if the brief grows.
If you have no copy or photos, say so in the enquiry. I would rather price the content help than discover it in week three.
