What it costs

Every quote is custom. That is not a reason to hide the numbers. Here is what work like yours has cost, and what makes it go up.

WorkTypical rangeTypical time

Ranges, not menus. Your quote is one number, fixed before we start.

What makes it cost more

  • Money changing hands
  • Multiple user types and permissions
  • Migrating years of existing data
  • Integrating with something old or undocumented
  • Regulated data
  • A hard deadline

What makes it cost less

  • A clear picture of what you want
  • Data that is already tidy
  • One type of user
  • Launching a first version before the full one
  • Flexibility on the date

Always included

Weekly demos · a named engineer · the code and accounts in your name · documentation · a handover session.

Costs extra

Ongoing maintenance ([SUPPLY: £x/month]) · new features after handover · third-party licenses and hosting.

Questions about money

Why not an hourly rate?

An hourly rate makes our efficiency your problem. Fixed scope means we carry that risk.

Do you take payment in stages?

Yes. Typically on signature, at the first slice, and at launch.

What if the scope changes?

We quote the change before doing it. You decide.

Is there a cheapest useful thing?

Usually an integration. It is the smallest quote we write and often saves the most time.
