You want to start a project. These questions tell me whether I can help, and at what price.
About five minutes. Your first instincts are usually the right ones.
This is what sets the price. The website is identical in all three tiers. What changes is the volume of material to migrate: each artist's photos, CV, and audio and video demos. An estimate is fine.
In 2-3 sentences, what's the goal? Not "a website". The actual outcome you're after. (A roster you can edit yourself? Artist pages casting directors can find? Replacing a site you no longer control?)
The three prices are public and fixed: $3,500 up to 25 artists, $4,900 for 26 to 75, $6,500 for 76 to 150. Over 150 artists is a custom quote. I won't inflate the scope to reach a number.
If you have some to hand, paste two or three links with a sentence on what appeals to you. Otherwise we'll cover it on the call.
Context, constraints, stakeholders, previous attempts, anything on your mind.
