Deposit and milestones?
50% deposit to start, 50% on completion for smaller projects. Larger projects are split into 2-3 logical milestones with payments distributed accordingly. This ensures steady progress while protecting both parties throughout the development process.

What does "unlimited revisions" cover?
Design tweaks, content updates, bug fixes, and performance/security within original scope. This includes visual adjustments, copy changes, functionality improvements, and optimization work as long as they don't fundamentally change the project requirements or add new features.
What counts as new scope?
Net-new features, third-party integrations not originally scoped, major redesigns, technology stack changes, or platform additions. Essentially, anything that adds significant new functionality or changes the core requirements beyond the original proposal.
