Subject line
Your website quote for Fernhill Cafe
Cover note
Hi Grace,
Attached is the quote for the new Fernhill Cafe website.
You told me you want a simpler menu page and online ordering before spring, and that your last site was hard to update. The quote is built around those two things.
Included
- Five pages, including a clear menu page
- An online ordering page
- Two rounds of changes
Not included
- Photography
- Ongoing hosting
The validity period is stated in the document. Please read it and let me know a time for a call to go through any questions.
Kind regards,
Lena
Checks before you send
- The note does not repeat the price, so it cannot clash with the document.
- Exclusions (photography, hosting) are stated clearly.
- Dates or deadlines: none were supplied, so none appear.
