Because a buyer who knows the price has a better first call, and one it doesn’t suit can leave without booking. ‘From’ is where a scope starts. Your own price is fixed in writing after the call, before any work starts, and then it doesn’t move.
For the decisions and the checking. AI drafts research, first passes and boilerplate code. I decide what to build and what to leave out, make every design decision, read every line before it ships, and answer for the result. The price is fixed for that result, so how fast the AI was is my risk.
Move it piece by piece, unless the whole product is small enough to rebuild in one short project while feature requests wait. A rewrite stops your releases until it is finished. A piece-by-piece move keeps them going, and if you stop halfway you still have something that works.
It depends on what the software is meant to do, and what you say it does. Software that only stores, sends or schedules is usually not a medical device. Software that works on one patient’s data to inform a diagnosis or a treatment usually is. Decide it module by module, in writing, before design starts.
List every old address before anything is designed, give each one a permanent redirect to its closest new page, change one thing at a time, and watch the numbers for ninety days. Nobody can promise rankings. Anyone can account for every URL.
These notes answer the questions people ask before they hire a designer and developer: what it costs, whether it pays, what can go wrong. Each one gives the answer first and links every number to its source.
