Four ways to work together

Every service below is delivered through one of these four models. Most projects blend a fixed build with a monthly care plan afterward.

01 · Package

Productized package

Fixed scope, fixed price. You know the total before we start — no surprises.

Best for websites & care plans

Custom scope, priced after a short discovery call. One number, milestone payments.

Best for apps, CRMs & platforms
03 · Retainer

Monthly retainer

An ongoing partnership billed monthly for hosting, support, SEO, or growth work.

Best for care, SEO & support
04 · Hourly

Hourly / day rate

Time & materials for small changes or open-ended work. $125/hr · $900/day.

Best for tweaks & consulting

Confidence

What stands behind every price

Ranges can feel abstract, so here is exactly what you are buying and why it is priced the way it is. No hidden fees, no rented platforms, no guesswork.

01

A fixed quote before we start

The range becomes one firm number after a short discovery call. You approve the full scope and price before any work begins — no hourly meter, no surprise invoices.

02

You own everything

Code, designs, domains, and accounts are yours from day one. Nothing is rented from me and there's no proprietary lock-in, so you're never held hostage later.

03

You work with the builder

You deal directly with the person writing the code, not a sales layer. Modern AI-assisted tooling keeps the work efficient, so you pay for the outcome, not padded hours.

04

Built to last, supported after launch

Clean, maintainable work and a support window after every launch — so you're not paying again to fix it next quarter. Where a range appears, scope decides where you land.
