Hi [Name],
Both goals are good, and they pull in opposite directions, so we'll need to choose what matters most.
If we add content, we can keep the page calm by grouping it, using clear hierarchy, and moving the secondary material to another page or section. Could you rank the content from most to least important? I'll build the layout around the top items.
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.
