1. Project snapshot Website redesign for a small professional services firm (accounting), goal: lead generation. 2. Budget signals "Some budget" — no figure given. For a 12-person firm, realistic range: $4,000–$8,000. Confidence: low. Clarify before quoting. 3. Timeline signals "Reasonably soon" — no hard date. Likely 4–8 weeks in their mind. Not an unrealistic timeline for this scope. 4. Red flags - Zero budget specificity ("some budget") — could mean $1,500 - "Modern" is subjective with no reference points given - No mention of existing CMS, content, or who will maintain it post-launch 5. Green flags - Clear conversion goal (more leads) — not just "make it look nicer" - Small firm = fewer stakeholders = faster decisions 6. Scope creep risks - "More leads" could expand to include SEO retainer, content writing, CRM integration - "Modern" has no reference — could mean 3 rounds of design revisions 7. Clarifying questions 1. What's the budget range you're working with? 2. Do you have a CMS preference, or are you open to a recommendation? 3. Who on your team will maintain the site after launch? 4. Do you have existing brand guidelines, or is a brand refresh in scope? 5. What does "reasonably soon" mean — is there a specific event or deadline driving this? 8. Go/no-go Yes — clean brief, clear goal, professional services client. Clarify budget before proceeding.

Hi [Name], Thanks for reaching out. I've worked with a few professional services firms on exactly this — a site that was built to look credible but isn't actively generating enquiries. Here's how I'd approach it. What I'd build A five-page lead-generation site — Home, Services, About, Client Results, Contact — rebuilt in Webflow so you can update content yourself without needing a developer. Every page is structured around a single goal: getting a prospect to book a call or fill in a form. Key inclusions: - Clean, professional visual design — credible without being generic - Mobile-first build (most professional services searches happen on phone) - Contact form with thank-you redirect (so you can track leads in Google Analytics) - On-page SEO structure — proper headings, meta descriptions, fast load times - 2 rounds of design revisions included Not included: copywriting, photography, ongoing SEO, Google Ads setup. Investment $5,500 flat. 50% on kickoff, 50% on approval before launch. No hourly surprises. Timeline 4 weeks from kickoff call to handover. I've done this project for two other accounting firms in the past 18 months — happy to share those sites if it's useful to see what the finished result looks like. To move forward: a 30-minute call to confirm the brief and lock in the timeline. I have a slot open [DATE] — does that work? [Your name]
