Change Budget & Process

Change Budget

• Even with careful planning, unforeseen needs may arise in complex projects such as user interface and website design.
• Because of this, it’s common for clients to request unexpected changes once a project starts taking shape.
• These changes to the scope of work typically incur additional costs and time.
• We recommend setting aside an additional 25% of the total project cost, known as the Change Budget.
• For example, for a $3,300 project, your Change Budget should be $825.
• The Change Budget will only be used if a requested change exceeds the original project scope or modifies previously approved items.
• You control the Change Budget and decide whether to use it.

Change Process

• If a requested change exceeds the scope, we will notify you and provide a supplementary scope of work and cost estimate.
• You can then decide whether to proceed now or defer the change to a future phase.
• If you choose to proceed now, simply accept the Change Estimate we email you.
• To do this, click the green ‘View and Accept Estimate Online’ button in the email. This will take you to the Change Estimate page, where you can formally approve the changes by clicking the green ‘Accept Estimate’ button at the top of the page.
• An invoice will be sent shortly afterward, and payment is required upfront before any additional work begins.
