A website quote should reflect the work required to make the site useful, not just the number of pages. Scope, content, integrations, and ongoing support all affect the result.
Pages are only one part of scope
A useful website may also need bilingual content, a clear content structure, forms, analytics, search visibility, and a way for the team to maintain it.
Integrations change the work
Payments, accounts, maps, messaging, and other local tools can make a site more useful for customers. They also need to be designed, tested, and connected to the rest of the experience.
Ask what is included
A useful quote should explain what will be delivered, what assumptions are being made, and what ongoing work is included. It should leave room for a real conversation rather than hiding the important decisions behind a single number.
