Time + Materials

After the initial project assessment we'll be able to accurately estimate the amount of hours that it will take to complete your project.

We'll then refer to the pricing model on the right side of this page, which lists the industry standard rates for the multitude of specialties that are often involved in the development of a website.

The cost of a project is determined by examining an outline of these hours multiplied by the rate for hours of each class, and the cost of any additional materials required to complete the project, including web hosting, stock photography, and software.

Pricing Model

Fair pricing is important to me. I have spent more than 15 years evaluating, analyzing, and discussing different strategies for quoting website Development projects.

To me, fair pricing is pricing that is scalable from the smallest project to the largest project.

I do not believe in minimum budgets or long-term contracts.

Successful web development projects require the diverse skills of highly specialized people, and the law of supply and demand determines the industry standard rates that these specialists charge.

In this pricing model, hours are divided into "classes" based on specialties that command similar hourly rates.

The $25 fluctuation in each class takes into account the fact that some in a certain specialty will command a higher hourly rate than others, and hours purchased in bulk can often benefit from a reduced hourly rate.

Below the pricing model table I provide an outline of some of the services that typically fall into each class of hours.
