What we build
Six kinds of project with the band each usually lands in. What moves a project up the band is almost always the number of people who have to approve it.
Projects
Definition phaseTwo weeks, paid, producing a written specification you own whether or not you continue. About one client in seven stops here and takes it elsewhere.USD 3800.00
Marketing websiteFive to fifteen pages, designed and built, in your accounts from day one. The band moves mostly with how many people have to approve it.USD 14000.00
Ecommerce buildCatalogue, checkout and the operational side nobody budgets for. We will tell you when an off-the-shelf platform would serve you better.USD 26000.00
A small productTwelve to twenty weeks. Accounts, data, a real back end. The kind of thing that should not be a spreadsheet any more.USD 48000.00
Rescue of somebody else’s buildAssessment, then a plan with a number. We take about four of these a year and we will be honest when the answer is to start again.USD 9000.00

Before you write
Budget, timelines, ownership and what happens when it runs late.
Why publish your estimate accuracy?
Because every agency says it delivers on time and none of them show you. Ours is a median of eleven per cent over across thirty projects, with two that were far worse, and the table is on the about page.
Do you do retainers?
No. A monthly fee paid regardless of what is delivered stops being a service. We sell weeks of work with something at the end of them instead.
Will you host our site?
No, and we will help you set up your own accounts. An agency holding your hosting, domain and repository has made leaving expensive, which is leverage rather than a product.
Who owns what we pay for?
You do, outright, including the code and the working files, from the moment each invoice is paid. There is no licence and nothing to renew.
What happens when a project runs late?
A fixed-price build is fixed. If we underestimated, we absorb it, and that has happened twice in thirty projects. If the scope changed, it is quoted separately in writing before anybody does the work.
What clients say

They talked us out of a custom build and did the setup for a fifth of the price.
★★★★★
A working URL from week one and a Friday note even when it went badly.
★★★★★
Everything in our own accounts. Moving agency later took an afternoon.
★★★★★
They publish being eleven per cent over. We were fourteen. At least we knew.
