What does starting at include?
The listed page range, features and revision rounds are the starting scope. Content readiness, integrations and additional pages can change the total. Your written scope confirms the deliverables and price before a deposit is requested.
How does the deposit work?
The $250 deposit applies toward the project total. Under the existing project agreement, deposits become non-refundable after work begins. The remaining balance is due before launch, transfer or final delivery.
What costs continue after launch?
Optional maintenance is currently listed at $75–150 per month; the scope determines the plan. Domain, hosting, email and third-party subscription fees are the client’s responsibility unless separately agreed. Hosting and subscription prices depend on the providers selected.
Are content and later changes included?
Approved copy and deliverables are listed in the scope. Extensive copywriting, photography, extra pages, major changes and work beyond the agreed revision rounds may require additional fees and timeline changes. These are discussed as scope items, not unlimited inclusions.
Why do projects vary in price?
Pages, content readiness, custom functionality, integrations, and the number of distinct conversion paths determine the scope.
Do I pay before we define the project?
No. Forge reviews the business goal, scope, timing, and fit first. The standard $250 deposit is requested only after those details are clear.
Are hosting and maintenance required?
No. Hosting and ongoing maintenance are discussed openly and scoped only when they are useful for the project.
Can we start with one focused page?
Yes. A landing page or focused starter scope can be the right first move when the offer and conversion goal are clear.
