Pricing
Know the scope and cost before work begins
The first conversation is free. If there is a useful project to pursue, we agree what it includes and provide a written price before the work starts.
The proposal
What the proposal covers
The proposal should make the build cost, expected running costs and any ongoing support clear.
- What we will deliver and what is outside the scope.
- The information, access and time we need from your team.
- The build price and agreed payment arrangements.
- Expected hosting, software and AI usage costs.
- How we will test the work and prepare the handover.
- Any ongoing support and how future changes will be handled.
Changes are agreed before we do them
If you ask for work outside the agreed scope, we discuss its effect on cost and timing before proceeding.
Ownership and ongoing costs
Once the agreed work is paid for, the code and your data are yours, subject to the third-party components and licences identified in the agreement.
Hosting, AI usage and ongoing support are separate considerations. We explain the expected arrangements in the proposal.
Where to begin
Three ways to start
Improve one task
A focused project such as preparing invoice details, collecting a work record or improving an enquiry handover.
Build a system
A tool that supports a wider workflow, such as job tracking, a customer portal or an operational application.
Get a clearer plan
A scoped review of the business process, available options and priorities before deciding whether to build.
Value
Check the value of a first project
A useful project can free time, improve consistency or make a new service possible. We assess those benefits alongside the cost and effort of introducing it.
Pricing questions
What if I only want advice?
A scoped review of the business process, options and priorities is one way to start. You can then decide whether to build, and with whom.
Is the first conversation really free?
Yes. We talk through the task and whether there is a useful next step. If more investigation or a build is worthwhile, we agree its scope and price before starting.
