How we price website and software projects
Every project is quoted in writing after a short scope call. We don't publish a price list, because the honest answer depends on what you need. Here is what changes the quote.
What drives the cost
| Detail | Website | Software and web apps | Automation and AI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | Number and type of pages, features and content | Number of modules, user roles and screens | Number of processes and systems involved |
| Design depth | Templates adapted vs fully custom design | Amount of custom interface work | Mostly behind the scenes; some admin screens |
| Integrations | Payments, forms, analytics, CRM | Accounting, payment gateways, messaging, APIs | Every connected system adds work |
| Content and data | Who writes copy and supplies images | Importing and cleaning existing data | Quality and format of the data being processed |
| After launch | Updates, hosting care, support | Fixes, new features, user support | Monitoring and adjustments as processes change |
What a written proposal covers
We don't publish fixed terms, because they depend on the project. Every proposal sets out the following in writing, so nothing is left to assumption:
- The scope: what will be built, and what will not.
- The deliverables and how each one is reviewed and accepted.
- The timeline and the stages it depends on.
- The payment arrangements for the project.
- Ownership and handover of the work.
- Costs outside our work that you will pay separately: hosting, domain names, third-party licences and taxes.
- Support and maintenance after launch, if you want it.
How we quote
- You send a short brief. We reply within one business day, subject to feasibility.
- We talk through the problem and what you want to achieve.
- We send a written scope and quote. You decide whether to go ahead.
Pricing questions
Why don't you publish prices?
Two projects that look alike on the surface can differ a lot underneath. A fixed number on a page would either be too low to be honest or too high to be fair, so we quote each project once we understand it.
Is the first conversation free?
Sending a brief and getting a reply costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Can you work to a budget?
Yes. Tell us your range when you contact us and we will say honestly what it can and cannot cover.
