How the price gets fixed
You tell us what you want built. We write a specification. The
specification has a price tag attached.
The price covers everything inside the specification — design, build,
testing, deployment, source-code handover. If something inside the
spec turns out to take twice as long as we estimated, that's our
problem, not yours.
If you ask for something outside the spec mid-project, we'll quote
that separately, in plain English, before any work starts on it. You
either approve the change order or you don't. You're never billed for
work you didn't ask for.
What's not included
Honest list:
- Hosting costs — Vercel, Supabase, etc. Usually a few pounds a
month at the start; we'll set up the accounts in your name so
you control billing.
- Third-party services — Stripe fees, SendGrid / Resend usage,
domain registration. All billed by the vendors directly to you.
- Ongoing maintenance after handover. Optional retainer available;
never an obligation.
- Major scope changes mid-build. Handled as change orders.
Typical engagement sizes
Most projects sit in the £15k–£75k range and take 4–12 weeks
from spec sign-off to handover. As rough guides:
- £5–15k — single-purpose tools, internal forms, a clean
marketing site with a CMS. 2–4 weeks.
- £15–40k — client portals, dashboards, multi-page sites with
auth and a small backend. 4–8 weeks.
- £40–100k — fuller web applications with several user roles,
payments, integrations, and a real domain model. 8–16 weeks.
- £100k+ — multi-app suites, large integrations, or fixed-price
rebuilds of existing systems. Bespoke quote.
These are starting points, not menu prices. The actual figure comes
from your specification.
What you get for the money
Every engagement, regardless of size, includes:
- A written specification you can take elsewhere if you don't want
to proceed with us.
- A GitHub repository with full source access from day one.
- An architecture decision record explaining every non-trivial
choice.
- Code review and automated tests on every change.
- Staged delivery with reviewable slices every two weeks.
- Production deployment to your accounts, in your name.
- Handover documentation, including the "what I'd do differently"
conversation.
When you've paid the final invoice, you own everything outright —
no licences, no ongoing tie-in, no holding the keys hostage.
