Pricing
Built on clarity,
not estimates that grow.
Every engagement is scoped before development begins. You know the number, the milestones, and exactly what each one delivers — before you commit to the next.
01
Discovery &
Architecture
Blueprint before the build.
The full technical specification delivered before development begins. Schema design, role structure, data flows, and a complete picture of what gets built — so there are no surprises once work starts.
- Database schema and relationship map
- User role structure and permissions logic
- Full technical specification document
- Scope definition for the development phase
- Fixed development price agreed from spec
Strongly recommended before any full build. Skipping this phase almost always costs more later.
02
Platform
Development
Full build. Production-ready.
From database schema to deployed, tested, production application. Everything built to last — not assembled quickly and handed over to someone else to fix.
- Full database build to specification
- Back-end logic, API integrations, business rules
- Admin layer — management, reporting, content control
- Front-end build, responsive across devices
- Security hardening, testing, and launch
- Full handover with documentation
Paid in four equal milestones — each tied to a deliverable you can see and test. See below.
03
Ongoing
Support
Keep it healthy, not costly.
A fixed base retainer that keeps your platform running correctly — plus a clear, agreed rate for anything beyond that.
- Platform monitoring and uptime checks
- Security updates as they arise
- Bug fixes for production issues
- Additional work at $125/hr — quoted and approved before it begins
Annual prepay: 12 months upfront = 1 month free. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices.
Milestone payments.
No large upfront sums. No payments for work you can't yet see. Each milestone is triggered by a deliverable — something tangible that you can review, test, and sign off on before the next phase begins.
| Milestone | Trigger | Payment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Discovery | Discovery & Architecture specification delivered | 25% |
| 2 Core Build | Core platform functionality complete and demonstrated | 25% |
| 3 Full Build | Complete build, pre-launch review and sign-off | 25% |
| 4 Handover | Live, tested, documented, and handed over | 25% |
One person. Every time.
You'll speak to the same person every time. The one who wrote the code, made the architecture decisions, and knows every corner of what you're running. No account managers, no handoffs, no re-explaining.
No surprise invoices.
The base retainer exists to keep your platform healthy — not to create a recurring cost that eats into what you worked to build. Additional work is quoted and approved before it begins. Always.
Annual prepay option.
Pay twelve months of the base retainer upfront and the thirteenth month is free. A small incentive for clients who know they're in it for the long run — and a predictable cash flow benefit for both sides.
