Worldsite Bundle — Pricing
A four-phase engagement that moves a brand from foundation through identity, world build, and deploy. Available à la carte or bundled.
| Phase | À la carte | Bundle | Bundle savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| P1 — Foundation | $25,000 | $22,000 | 12% |
| P2 — Identity & System | $55,000 | $48,000 | 13% |
| P3 — World Build | $55,000 | $48,000 | 13% |
| P4 — Deploy | $50,000 | $42,000 | 16% |
| Subtotal | $185,000 | $160,000 | 13.5% |
- Social Media Package — parallel to P3, ships ahead of launch $18,000 / $15,000 bundled
- Sustaining retainer — picks up post-Deploy, 6-month minimum from $5,000/mo
P4 carries the largest concession (16%) because Deploy is the phase most likely to scope-creep — the bundle discount partly compensates for committed sequencing.
Total elapsed: 18 weeks. Launch lands Fri Sep 11, 2026. Retainer picks up Mon Sep 14.

P2/P3 overlap Jun 22 – Jul 17. P3/P4 overlap Jul 20 – Aug 14. Overlap is intentional — design and build run concurrently once dependencies clear.

Revisions. Each phase includes two rounds of consolidated revisions (R1 and R2). A revision round is a single, consolidated response from the Client containing all feedback from all stakeholders, delivered in one document or written communication. Multiple separate messages, conflicting notes from different stakeholders, or feedback delivered piecemeal across days will be treated as a single round once consolidated by Studio Artifice.
The Client will deliver each round of feedback within 5 business days of receiving the deliverable. If feedback is not received within that window, the timeline will pause and the engagement clock will stop until consolidated feedback is provided. Resumed work is scheduled against Studio Artifice's then-current availability and may shift downstream phase dates.
Items not counted as a revision round: typo corrections, copy swaps under 50 words, color or spacing micro-adjustments, asset reformatting, and clarifying questions. These are handled inline and do not consume R1 or R2.
After R2 is delivered and approved, the phase is considered closed. Subsequent changes to closed-phase work are billed as a Change Order at $285/hour with a 4-hour minimum, or as a fixed scope quoted in writing before work begins. Change Orders are invoiced separately and are not subject to bundle pricing.
If a phase requires more than two rounds because of net-new direction (a strategic pivot, repositioning, or scope expansion not contemplated at kickoff), Studio Artifice will pause the phase and issue a Change Order before continuing. This protects both parties from creep masquerading as revision.
