Optional appendix
Estimated build hours.
This is supporting detail for the proposal. The prices, payment terms, timing and included work are stated in the main proposal.
These estimates describe the additional work for the complete tools, using the starting code already available. They help us size the $2,500 fixed-fee trial before we agree its deliverables and completion checks. The complete three-tool project has a separate $6,000 fixed fee.
Hours appendix 1 of 5
Software 1 of 3: Mockup tool build hours
18–30 estimated additional hours
These are planning estimates, not hours already worked, guaranteed maximums or a delivery date. They include building, human review, testing, corrections and handover.
| Work | Hours |
|---|---|
| Agree the staff task, examples and final check | 2–3 |
| Improve mockup comparison, logo placement and changes | 6–10 |
| Add supplied product materials and save chosen versions | 2–4 |
| Check the tool still works after changes, including retries and phone-sized screens | 4–7 |
| Write instructions and hand over the tool | 2–3 |
| Allow time to fix problems and make focused improvements | 2–3 |
Hours appendix 2 of 5
Software 2 of 3: Catalog tool build hours
24–40 estimated additional hours
These are planning estimates, not hours already worked, guaranteed maximums or a delivery date. They include building, human review, testing, corrections and handover.
The 20-entry example uses finished supplied images and reliable details and prices. It is not 20 custom branded mockups or a permanent limit on later use. The starting tool still needs changes and testing for this example.
| Work | Hours |
|---|---|
| Agree catalog fields, layout and final check | 2–4 |
| Separate catalog entries from chosen mockups; improve adding data, prices and the reusable layout | 10–16 |
| Prepare and check the 20 supplied catalog entries | 4–7 |
| Check saving, reopening, reordering, reuse, phone-sized screens and output | 4–6 |
| Write instructions and hand over the tool | 2–3 |
| Allow time to fix problems and make focused improvements | 2–4 |
Hours appendix 3 of 5
Software 3 of 3: Customer link build hours
18–30 estimated additional hours
These are planning estimates, not hours already worked, guaranteed maximums or a delivery date. They include building, human review, testing, corrections and handover.
| Work | Hours |
|---|---|
| Agree input materials, public sharing and the recipient check | 2–3 |
| Build the reusable page and a reviewed copy of the catalog | 6–10 |
| Publish approved pages and keep each published version clear | 2–4 |
| Check the link on a phone outside the office, private-data exclusions and older versions | 4–6 |
| Write instructions and hand over the tool | 2–3 |
| Allow time to fix problems and make focused improvements | 2–4 |
Hours appendix 4 of 5
All three tools, sharing the same starting work
49–80 estimated additional hours
These are planning estimates, not hours already worked, guaranteed maximums or a delivery date. They include building, human review, testing, corrections and handover.
This is an alternative combined estimate. Shared work is counted once; do not add the three individual tool totals to it. It covers staff tools used on a computer and separately approved public customer pages, not a protected online service for staff.
| Work | Hours |
|---|---|
| Agree the work, materials and final checks | 3–5 |
| Prepare the existing code and shared product information | 4–6 |
| Improve the mockup tool | 6–10 |
| Build catalog collections, prices and a reusable layout | 10–16 |
| Prepare view-only customer pages and publish approved versions | 6–10 |
| Prepare and check the 20 supplied catalog entries | 4–7 |
| Check the tools work together and customers receive the right page | 7–11 |
| Demonstrate the work and hand it over | 3–5 |
| Allow time to fix problems and improve the result | 6–10 |

Assumptions and checks.
These estimates assume one developer who knows the starting code, usable product photos and logos, reliable details and prices, and timely decisions. The proposal website is not the software being offered.
The catalog estimate includes 4–7 hours to prepare and check 20 supplied product or color entries. Missing data, new artwork or unusual placements may change the work. We confirm that before changing the agreed price or dates.
Each individual tool estimate includes the starting work, planning, testing and handover it needs. Before work starts, we agree the $2,500 trial deliverables and completion checks in writing for the two-week plan. The fixed fee covers that agreed package. The hours guide planning and the choice of work to include, rather than buying an hourly allowance or setting a fixed number of apps. The $6,000 full-project fee is also separate from these estimates.
The customer-page estimate assumes an approved place to publish simple public pages. It includes keeping the approved images with the right page, leaving out private contacts and internal notes, and removing staff approval or editing controls. The current staff preview cannot simply be put online unchanged.
The customer-page tool can use supplied catalog information without buying the catalog editor. A private online system with staff or customer sign-ins, customer uploads, ordering, payments or live stock tracking needs separate scope and estimates.
Making new garment photos or generating new garment imagery with AI is separate image-production work. ProSwag supplies approved company AI access and pays the agreed provider charges used for the project. Automatic image generation inside the delivered tools needs its own agreed scope.
ProSwag owns the delivered tools, source code and project data for the agreed package. ProSwag hosts the tools and approved customer pages using its own computer or chosen account. We agree the setup and any ongoing provider charges before approval.
These are planning estimates to confirm against your actual materials. Reviewing usable images, accurate details and prices, the chosen setup and the feedback schedule will make the estimate firmer. Waiting for materials, access or decisions can extend the calendar. We confirm any change to scope, price or dates in writing before proceeding.
