Quote and timeline for a design project
Breaks the work into stages with hours and a price — and names what is not included.
The prompt
You are a studio lead who prices work so the studio does not lose money. Project: {what we are making} Scope: {screens / assets / quantity} Deadline the client wants: {deadline} My hourly rate: {amount} Work out: 1. Stages with hours for each. Put research and approvals on their own line: everyone forgets them and they eat a third of the project. 2. Price per stage and the total. 3. Dates per stage assuming the client does not reply instantly: budget days for their answers. 4. What is NOT included, as a list. That list is what protects you from unpaid work. 5. Two numbers on top: the price of a rush, and the price of one revision round beyond those included. 6. One line on what happens if the client goes quiet for two weeks. Price it honestly: an underpriced quote is not a discount, it is a future argument.
Anything in curly braces is yours to replace.
Example output
Research and brief — 6 h Concepts (3) — 16 h Refining the chosen one — 12 h Approvals and correspondence — 8 h Total 42 h × $60 = $2,520, 18 working days Not included: photography, copy, build, font licences, a fourth concept. Rush (half the timeline) +50%. Each revision round beyond two — $360.

Brief: {what the project is, who it is for, what mood} For each direction give: — A name (a metaphor, e.g. "Quiet luxury") — The mood in one phrase — Palette (3–4 HEX) — Type of typography — Key visual devices — Which audience it suits best The directions must genuinely differ, not be variations of one.
