FAQ
How is the hour range estimated?
A typical hour range is drawn from common effort estimates for similar project types and sizes, then multiplied by your hourly rate to suggest a quote range.
Should I quote the low or high end of the range?
It depends on how well-defined the scope is — quote closer to the high end for vague or open-ended requirements, and closer to the low end for clearly scoped work.
Does this account for revisions or scope creep?
The base estimate doesn't include revision rounds — build in buffer time or a separate revision policy in your actual quote.
