Pricing
We basically sell two things: time for our services and web hosting/email.
How we sell our services
We believe the key to a great relationship is managing expectations. Expectations can be boiled down to three categories: Deliverables, Timelines & Budget.
Deliverables
What is it that you need?
Timelines
When do you need it by?
Budget
What do you want it to cost?
Since we do not know your deliverables or timelines yet, all we can tell you is our hourly rate is $125. So for a day’s worth of time (8 hours) it is $1000. We usually estimate things in a number of days.
For example, we may say it would be a week’s worth of hours (40 hours @ $125 = $5000) but that time would be spread out over the course of several weeks or months and consumed in smaller increments.
Everybody is different and some need more hand holding throughout the process than others which is why we sell our services mostly based on time.
Below are a couple ways we sell our services:
For work that has clearly defined deliverables and a fixed budget, we can ensure it gets locked in at that price.
For work with looser defined deliverables we can create a range of what we think the project will take. *Note we do not quote on things under a couple hours.
For future work that you know you are going to need, but don’t quite know what it is yet, you can pre-purchase hours and we work them off overtime.
For ongoing work with changing deliverables from month to month or week to week, we offer a monthly billing service where you can use as much or as little time as you like. Time is billed in 15 minute increments and we provide access to time-logs of how your time was spent. Invoices are generated at the end of the month.

Why you should register your own domain
Occasionally we get that call with the customer panicking saying that everything is down and they can’t see their website or get their email. The first thing we check in this instance is if the domain is expired. This can happen due to people not owning their own domain and as such, not getting the...
