CRITICAL QUESTIONS TO RESOLVE
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
Before contract finalization, confirm:
|
||||
|
||||
1. [ ] Is $6,600 first year budget acceptable?
|
||||
2. [ ] Is $2,000 upfront payment feasible?
|
||||
3. [ ] Can client wait 3-4 weeks for development to start?
|
||||
4. [ ] Does HomeProz have logo/branding assets ready?
|
||||
5. [ ] Is manual MLS entry sufficient or need full IDX?
|
||||
6. [ ] How many email accounts need migration?
|
||||
7. [ ] What is exact legal business entity name?
|
||||
8. [ ] Annual or monthly hosting billing preference?
|
||||
9. [ ] Who purchases ACF Pro license ($49/year)?
|
||||
10. [ ] Are ongoing costs ($600-2,000/year) sustainable?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
DECISION TREE
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Budget OK?
|
||||
├─ YES → Proceed with full scope as drafted
|
||||
└─ NO → Offer alternatives:
|
||||
- Phased approach (basic site first)
|
||||
- Payment plan ($500/month x 12)
|
||||
- Reduced scope (fewer features)
|
||||
- Template-based site ($3,500)
|
||||
|
||||
Timeline OK (3-4 week wait)?
|
||||
├─ YES → Proceed as scheduled
|
||||
└─ NO → Offer alternatives:
|
||||
- Rush fee +20% ($1,200) for immediate start
|
||||
- Reduce scope for faster launch
|
||||
- Defer project until schedule opens
|
||||
|
||||
MLS Integration?
|
||||
├─ Manual entry only → Included in current scope
|
||||
├─ IDX property display → +$2,000-3,000 additional
|
||||
├─ Full IDX database → +$5,000-10,000 additional
|
||||
└─ No MLS → Remove MLS-related deliverables
|
||||
|
||||
Email Migration?
|
||||
├─ Simple (1-3 accounts) → 2 hours likely sufficient
|
||||
├─ Complex (5+ accounts) → Quote additional time
|
||||
└─ Client handles → Remove from scope
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

RISK MITIGATION
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
Risks and mitigations built into contract:
|
||||
|
||||
Risk: Scope creep
|
||||
Mitigation: Clear deliverables list, exclusions, written change order process
|
||||
|
||||
Risk: Timeline delays from client
|
||||
Mitigation: Client responsibilities section, 30-day delay clause
|
||||
|
||||
Risk: MLS integration complexity
|
||||
Mitigation: Scoped as "planning" only, full IDX explicitly excluded
|
||||
|
||||
Risk: Design expectations exceed assets provided
|
||||
Mitigation: Design work limited to "consultation" and "customization"
|
||||
|
||||
Risk: Email migration more complex than expected
|
||||
Mitigation: Capped at 2 hours, additional time billed separately
|
||||
|
||||
Risk: Ongoing hosting costs unsustainable for startup
|
||||
Mitigation: Clear first-year total, ongoing cost transparency, 30-day cancel
|
||||
|
||||
Risk: Client wants features after launch
|
||||
Mitigation: 60-day warranty for bugs only, new features quoted separately
|
||||
|
||||
Risk: Non-payment
|
||||
Mitigation: $2,000 upfront, $4,600 due at launch before going live
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
