Price an Extra Web Page by Components, Content, and Testing

Illustrative case — not a customer result

Illustrative arithmetic: two hours of component assembly, one hour of content loading, and one hour of QA at an assumed $75/hour gives $300 before other applicable costs. A new form, custom animation, or missing copy changes that estimate. Confirm the deliverable and dependency assumptions before quoting.
