Subject: Request for quote

Hello,

We are preparing the project described below and are asking a few agencies for a quote. We will compare the answers point by point. Please reply by October 10, 2026.

1. The project
[Describe your project here: type of site or app, main features, planned budget, target date.]

2. What your quote must state
1. The total price, before taxes (GST and QST extra), and whether it is fixed or estimated.
2. The payment schedule: each instalment in dollars, tied to a specific deliverable.
3. What is included, what is not, and the price of each option.
4. The domain name and all project accounts (hosting, app stores, tools) registered in our name.
5. Handover of the source code, files and admin access: when and in what form.
6. Intellectual property of the delivered work: transferred to the client on final payment.
7. Hosting: provider, where the data is stored (preferably in Québec or Canada), monthly cost, commitment period and conditions to move it.
8. The bug-fix warranty (length) and the price of maintenance, as an option.
9. The French version of the site (and English if needed), included in the price.
10. If the site collects personal information: compliance with Québec’s Law 25 (privacy policy, cookie consent).
11. The timeline, and how we will approve each step before paying.

A quote that is clear on these points will help us decide quickly.

Thank you,
[Your name]
