A BARBER, HANNIBAL · FICTIONAL EXAMPLE
Two chairs, walk-ins and appointments. My current site is a Facebook page. I want people to see prices and request a time without calling. I liked the Riverbend Studio concept at Growth.

THREE EXAMPLE MESSAGES
What a useful
first message says.
Fictional examples. A few plain sentences like these are enough to start a quote; the detailed brief is there if you want to go further.
A LANDSCAPER, PALMYRA · FICTIONAL EXAMPLE
Design, planting and seasonal cleanups across three counties. Photos of forty finished gardens on my phone. Customers should be able to describe a project and send it. Launch or Growth, not sure.
A CAFE, QUINCY · FICTIONAL EXAMPLE
Opening in spring; no website yet. Hours, the menu, the story of the place, and a way to ask about catering. Warm like the Daybreak concept, with my own colors.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
After you
press Send.
- 01
Your email app sends it
The draft goes from your own address to jack@madebymado.com. This website sends nothing itself.
- 02
A reply within a few business days is the aim
With any questions needed to understand the business and the goal.
- 03
A written quote
Pages, features, responsibilities, revision rounds, costs, the build estimate and the deadline.
- 04
Nothing starts until you approve it
Then the build clock starts once the agreed content has arrived.
A standard build takes 3 to 7 business days, depending on site size, features, content readiness and scope.
The build clock starts once you approve the written quote and the agreed content has arrived; the quote confirms the actual deadline. Sending an inquiry does not reserve a slot or a date.
Rush options (same day, overnight, or 1, 2 or 3 business days) and weekend work are available on request for an additional fee quoted for your project; whether they are possible depends on scope and content readiness and is confirmed in the written quote.
Payment is by wire transfer, direct deposit or cash deposit into the account specified in your written quote, arranged privately after the written quote is agreed. No bank details are published on this website, and nothing is paid here: prepare your inquiry, review the draft, and send it from your own email app.
