Pricing
Pricing & how I work.
Stated up front so you can self-qualify before we ever talk. Well above a template freelancer, well below what an agency would quote you.

Apps, data pipelines, APIs & AI integrations

Most marketing sites land in the low to mid part of their range; the top end is for larger page counts, custom design systems, or integration work.
Process
How a project runs.
A real process, the same discipline an agency uses, run by one accountable person instead of a relay of coordinators.
- 01Week 1
Discovery & scope
We get clear on the goal. I write up the context, audience, brand, structure, pick the right tool for the job, and send a fixed-fee proposal with explicit scope, price, and timeline.
- 02Weeks 2–3
Design
Direction first, then full page comps you review. For larger jobs I bring in a trusted design partner; either way you see it before it gets built.
- 03Weeks 3–5
Build
The production phase. Fast, because I use the right tooling, but every decision gets senior judgment and a real review before it ships.
- 04Week 5–6
Launch
Performance pass to clear Core Web Vitals, QA, analytics and SEO checks, then go live.
- 05Ongoing
Handoff or retainer
Sites come with a walkthrough and docs so your team can edit and run them yourself. Stay on a support retainer if you want me in your corner.
The fine print
Plain terms, before we start.
- Fixed-fee sites, hourly engineering
- Website builds are quoted as a fixed fee up front. Engineering runs hourly or scoped. Either way, the terms are clear before we start.
- No discounts, I resize scope
- If the budget is tight, we cut scope to fit. Same work never drops in price.
- 50% to start, balance at launch
- Simple milestone terms, stated in the proposal. Larger builds split into more.
- Retainers are breakable
- Month-to-month with notice on both sides. No hostage contracts.
