Fixed commercial scope between 3500 and 8000 USD

Five criteria that determine your quote
Every formal quote issued by Alexey Smirnov is calculated against five explicit parameters. No subjective estimations.
Scope Factor Ledger & Trade Definition
We never quote based on company valuation or perceived ability to pay. A rural herbalist in Salida and a high-volume distillery in Denver receive the exact same quote if their functional requirements are identical.
| Scope Factor | Lower Bound ($3,500 USD) | Standard Tier ($5,600 USD) | Upper Bound ($8,000 USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page Volume | 1 comprehensive multi-section card | 3 to 5 structured modular pages | 8 to 12 bespoke architectural views |
| Functional Complexity | Direct form posting, mobile dock, honeypots | Headless CMS, modal drawers, dynamic filters | Private distributor ledgers, custom tools |
| Content Volume | 1 to 6 products, single harvest story | 7 to 16 products, harvest archives | 17 to 24 products, technical monographs |
| Custom Design Depth | Standard Swiss grid, Archivo typography | Custom layout geometry, bespoke cards | Tailored micro-interactions, full spread art |
| Launch Turnaround | ~14 days express delivery | 6–8 weeks standard cycle | 3–6 months flagship commission |
Tools, Materials, and Technical Stack
Our deliveries are built with durable web standards rather than disposable framework dependencies:
- Brand Strategy & Sitemap: Physical card taxonomy and direct inquiry wireframing.
- UI/UX Design: Swiss International grids, zero border-radius, and Archivo/Syne grotesque type.
- CMS Assembly: Static zero-maintenance architecture or lightweight markdown headless CMS.
- Foundational Launch SEO: JSON-LD schema graphs, Consent Mode v2, and clean server caching.
“A brand card does not demand attention through volume. It commands authority through exact typographic measure and quiet craft.”
