Custom pricing can be honest when work varies. A bare 'contact us' button still leaves a buyer unable to judge fit. Explain the variables that change the quote and the information needed to produce one.
Check the real path
- List the deliverables that are normally included and those that need discovery.
- Show an indicative range or representative project examples if the business can substantiate them.
- Explain how scope, integrations, content, and deadlines affect the final proposal.
- Tell the buyer what they will receive after inquiry and when the estimate becomes binding.
Decide what to change
Publishing a number is useful only if it matches real sales and avoids misleading expectations. If a range is not defensible, show the pricing method and a short route to an estimate. Keep contract terms in the final proposal.
Put it in the project brief
Before paying for a fix, ask the provider to name the affected page or workflow, the change they will make, how they will test it, and which dependencies or exclusions could change the estimate. Keep the baseline and the completed test so both sides can see what improved.
