Three ways to workwith us.

Because a number without a scope behind it would mislead you. Two projects that both sound like 'a website' can differ by a factor of ten in real work. We would rather give you a firm, written price for your actual scope within a couple of days than publish a headline figure you would have to renegotiate later.

For a clearly defined project, usually two to three working days after an initial call. For something more open-ended we will propose a short paid discovery phase first, so the estimate that follows is grounded in real detail rather than guesswork.

Engagements are milestone-based, with a deposit to start and the balance released against delivered milestones. Retainers are billed monthly in advance. You always know what has been paid for and what has been delivered.

It usually does, and that is fine. Changes go through a short written change note with the cost and timeline impact stated before we start on them. Nothing gets added silently and nothing appears as a surprise on an invoice.

Yes — a good part of our work is exactly that. We will tell you honestly if your budget does not fit the scope you have described, and where possible suggest a smaller first phase that still gets you something real in market.

Yes. We are often brought in for one discipline — design only, security audit only, GST compliance only — alongside your own team or another vendor. We do not insist on owning the whole thing.
