Why This Exists

The trust gap is smaller when you can see the commercial artifact.

Most studios describe their process without showing the actual deliverable that follows the first call. For Beehive, that deliverable is the proposal: a written explanation of what gets built, what it costs, how long it should take, and what both sides need to do next.

What The Proposal Covers

The written next step is supposed to remove ambiguity fast.

Scope clarity

What is being built, what it is supposed to improve, and what is out of scope.

  • Recommended package and page count
  • Primary conversion goal and CTA path
  • Core pages, features, and launch responsibilities
  • Named out-of-scope items so the project does not drift

Commercial terms

Price range, deposit, milestone timing, and recurring care requirements.

  • A realistic project range instead of a vague estimate
  • 50% deposit to start and 50% at launch
  • Care-plan expectations if the project is sold as a founding engagement
  • Revision limits and change-order rules before work begins

Launch standard

How the site is expected to go live and what support exists right after.

  • Hosting, SSL, analytics, and search basics included at launch
  • Post-launch defects covered in the initial support window
  • A post-launch check-in instead of disappearing after handoff
  • A maintainable build designed to continue on care

48-Hour Path

What happens between the first call and kickoff.

  1. Day 0

    The strategy call confirms fit, goals, budget range, and whether the right path is Starter, Growth, or care-first support.

  2. Within 48 hours

    If the fit is right, you get a written proposal within 48 hours: scope, timeline, investment, payment schedule, and any founding-client terms if they apply.

  3. After approval

    The next step is the service agreement plus deposit so kickoff, content, and milestone timing are clear before build work starts.

In every proposal

  • Current-site problems worth fixing first
  • Recommended build path and likely page count
  • Timeline target based on scope and your responsiveness
  • Investment range, payment triggers, and recurring support path
  • Clear assumptions, dependencies, and out-of-scope limits

Best fit

  • Owner-led Utah businesses that want a sharper site and a cleaner lead path
  • Teams prepared for a real paid build, not the cheapest possible option
  • Businesses that can move quickly on content, approvals, and launch decisions

Probably not a fit

  • Long RFP cycles that need weeks of unpaid scoping
  • Buyers comparing only on lowest bid
  • Projects with unclear ownership, delayed content, or open-ended scope

Founding-Client Terms

Discounted work only makes sense if it becomes reusable proof.

The founding offer is a commercial trade, not a generic discount. You get reduced launch pricing; Beehive gets the testimonial, case-study rights, and care-plan runway needed to turn early projects into stronger proof.

The trade, in writing

  • Starter Site at $1,495 instead of the list range of $2,495-$3,995
  • Growth Site at $2,995 instead of the list range of $4,995-$8,995
  • A written testimonial within 14 days of launch
  • Permission to use the finished site as a named case study
  • A 3-month minimum care-plan runway ($99-$199/mo) so the site stays maintained after launch
