Home Page Design

Scoping out a home page for your client?

The homepage sets the tone for the entire website—it’s the front door. But it’s also where scope creep loves to hide. Everyone wants a beautiful homepage, but not everyone realizes how much strategy and design go into making it convert.

The example below gives you a clear way to define a homepage design and build. Use it when your client needs a professional, on-brand experience that doesn’t blow your timeline or budget.

Breakdown

Okay, let’s break this down—what’s included, potential upsells & some limitations to consider.

Summary

Strategic homepage design and development including wireframes, layout, and responsive build.

Examples of What to Include

These are the core elements of a well-scoped homepage design—enough to deliver something powerful, but not so vague you invite chaos.

InclusionDescription
Homepage layout planningEstablishes structure, flow, and conversion intent of the home page.
Header and hero sectionIncludes logo, navigation, and primary headline with CTA design.
Value proposition sectionDesigns the 3-5 key selling points that support the hero message.
Customer trust areaArea for testimonials, partner logos, or reviews to build credibility.
Mobile responsive buildEnsures homepage looks sharp and functions well across screen sizes.

Potential Upsells

These simple add-ons help increase the value of the homepage while staying profitable. They’re also a natural part of most homepage conversations.

UpsellDescriptionCost
Homepage copywritingProfessional writing for hero text, value props, and calls to action.$400
Homepage animationCustom scroll or hover animations to enhance interactivity.$350
Lead gen formInline contact or email capture form with thank-you state.$250

Limitations to Consider

These constraints are important for keeping expectations realistic and avoiding an endless homepage loop.

  • No homepage copywriting – We assume your team or client provides the final text content.
  • No homepage animation – Scroll or hover animations must be scoped separately.
  • No third-party integrations – Chat tools, email capture, or CMS logic require their own scope.

Scoping homepage work that makes sense

A homepage is the most strategic—and often most political—part of any site. That makes it essential to scope clearly and protect your process. This line item gives you the structure to do just that.

From layout planning to clear upsells, use this format whenever you want to build a homepage that makes a strong first impression without blowing past time or budget.
