Follow-up Discussion of assessment (up to 1 hour $50)

Begin work
Discussions as needed
Adjust the scope of the project if needed (this can happen with old broken sites when I run into unforeseen problems. Think of it like renovating an old house; a contractor can give you an estimate by looking at the house, but once demolition begins, they might find additional problems like mold or foundation issues that need to be addressed.)
Final balance due
Work completed
Choose a maintenance plan (optional but recommended so the site doesn’t become outdated or break again!)
