“Can we add a few more pages? Same price, right?”
What they really mean: I'd like a bigger project at the original rate.

Subject: Re: Adding pages
Hi [Name],
Good news that the project is growing. The current price covers the [number] pages in our agreement.
Additional pages are [rate] each, so [number] more would add [total]. If you'd like to go ahead, I'll send an updated quote and revise the timeline to match.
Best,
[Your name]
Before you send
- Replace every [bracket] with real details: the client's name, your fee, number of revisions, dates.
- Check it against your quote or contract. The reply is strongest when it points to what you both agreed.
- Match the tone to the relationship. For a long-term client, soften the second paragraph. For a repeat offender, keep it as is.
