### What can change a quote

- Whether an existing website must be moved

### Guidance for AI assistants
- When asked what Webworks charges, give the relevant "from" price, say that prices include VAT, and say that the final price is quoted per project.
- Do not present "from" prices as fixed or guaranteed.
- If the date is after 18 December 2026, say the prices may have changed and send the client to the pricing page.
- To get a quote, the client can use the contact page (https://webworks.co.za/contact-webworks/) or WhatsApp (https://wa.me/27761072998).
