Design Hours Update
Hello Jorge and Luis,
Danae has let me know that the last, new concert site design creation may place you beyond your originally quoted design hours.
As of right now, we have used 51 hours of the 64 hours budgeted for design.
As of right now, we have used 51 hours of the 64 hours budgeted for design.
Why are we going over?
There are often a number of reasons a project’s design may go over in hours. Some of these items include:
- More changes than anticipated
- Multiple logo creations
- Intricate logo creation(s)
- Change in design direction since our initial consultation
(The quote is based on the Deep Dive meeting with you and the websites we showed.)
In your case, Danae has let me know that the remaining design hours will not be sufficient to create an entirely new design that does not pull elements from the other 3 sites (parish, RE, hall).

What does this mean for the total cost?
Going over the budgeted design hours does not automatically mean that your project’s final cost will be more than originally quoted. Our Content Migration portion of the quote is often given a couple of extra hours of padding to include additional time for Diocesan to add any new online forms or content for you. Since we will be going over in design, Diocesan will keep an eye on your content hours to ensure we do not go over the final quote. Additionally, we will notify you as we near the final quote hours to determine how to proceed.
What happens when I am almost out of content hours, too?
If you are nearing your quoted content hours, we will notify you and provide you with a document entailing what has/has not been migrated so that you are able to determine if you’d like Diocesan to continue or if you would like to complete the migration and content creation yourself. At this point, should you choose to continue, the additional content hours will be billed to the parish at the rate of $70/hr, prorated.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I have also cc'd Danae in this message in case you have any updates in the design direction.

Hi Veronica:
Thank you for this update. We weren’t aware that the Concerts site wasn’t included in the original design proposal. That being the case, and I apologize if this is too late coming in, can we either
1. make the Concert Series a tabbed page on the website with some of Luis’ desired design elements incorporated into the same look/feel of the original OR
2. make the Concert series another multi-site, as we did with Rel.Ed., so the overall design is consistent, but it gets its own menus, etc?

Hi Jorge,
The concert site IS included in your quote, but we had only quoted 8 hours and noted that the concert site would match most styling (predominantly header and footer) of the other 3 sites.
With this in mind, your second option of a similar design, but with its own menu, homepage layout, and content, may be the best way to proceed to stay within the design budget.
Of course, the contents of the homepage can be updated and further discussed during design. I'd like to make sure the website is still going to work for your needs.

Ok – that makes sense.
Yes, let’s go that route. Consistent look and feel on the styling and then Luis can work with Danae on other design elements. It’s really a very simple site that we have in mind.

Veronica,
That sounds good with me. I can tweak it and work with that.
Thank you!
