Start a Project Quote

Tell us what you are building and we will come back with a fixed scope and a fixed price, not an hourly estimate that drifts. Every enquiry is read by the people who would actually do the work, so what you get back is a real answer rather than a request for more information. No account, no obligation — and if we are not the right fit for the project, we will tell you that rather than take it.

Get a Quote

Four short sections

About three minutes. The more you can tell us here, the less we have to come back and ask — and the sooner you get a number instead of a question.

1 What do you need?

Pick as many as apply, or none if you are not sure yet.

2 About the project

Have the description read back to you, with the questions we would otherwise have to email you about.

3 About you

4 Send it

We use this to reply to you and nothing else. No mailing list, no passing it on.

What happens after you send this

  1. We read it properly Usually the same day. If something is unclear we ask, rather than guessing and quoting the guess.
  2. A short conversation Twenty minutes, to work out what you actually need — which is occasionally less than you came for. No charge and no obligation either way.
  3. A written quote Fixed scope and fixed price, with the assumptions stated plainly so nothing is argued about later.
  4. Build, in the open You see working software early and often rather than a demo at the end. Changing your mind is cheapest while something is still being built.
  5. Launch, then afterwards You own the code and the data. Keep us on to run it or take it elsewhere — nothing is built to make leaving hard.

Questions We Get Asked

Still not sure?

Ask us anything before you fill anything in. No account needed and no obligation.

How much does a project cost?

It depends almost entirely on scope, which is why there is no price list on this page. The band you pick above tells us what is realistic to build; the quote tells you exactly what it costs. If your budget will not stretch to what you have described, we will say so rather than quietly quoting something you cannot afford.

Do I need to know exactly what I want?

No, and most people do not. A rough description of the problem is more useful than a tidy specification of a solution — the specification is part of what you are buying.

What if I only need advice?

Say so in the description. Sometimes the honest answer is that you do not need a build at all, and that a report, a settings change or a different tool solves it for a fraction of the money. We would rather tell you that at the start than take the work.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes, before you share anything sensitive. Mention it in the description and do not include confidential detail in this form — a paragraph about what kind of thing it is will do until the paperwork is done.

Who owns the code at the end?

You do. Code, database and deployment. Nothing is built to make leaving expensive, because work that only holds a client through lock-in was never good enough to hold them any other way.

Do you take on small projects?

Some. A day of integration work or a deliverability fix is a perfectly good piece of work. What we are poor value for is a brochure site that a template would do just as well — if that is what you need, we will tell you.
