Rates

The following block rates may be used as a guide for pricing the adhoc services that I provide (all amounts are in US $).  Block hours are designed to help small business to "pay as you go".  Block hours are paid in advance and all remaining hours are kept "on the books" as credit.  90% of my clients start with the 10 hour block.  Which allows us to get to know each other.  And allows me to prove that I can deliver and provide a service the client can rely upon.  Without substantial risk to the client of myself.  The client then moves to the 100 hour block rate for a substantial savings.  If the client runs out of revenue or is not satisfied with the progress, the client can opt out by simply not purchasing any further block hours.  Or perhaps the client wishes to postpone development until further notice.  Not a problem.  Just let me know.  All work performed is owned by the client and will be given to the client at milestones or upon client request at any time. 

     I'm happy to perform computer related research, large database conversions, report writing, OCR services, tutoring, and organize other services at an hourly rate.  These rates are my contracting rates for my services.  Any additional expenses are the clients responsibility.  i.e. web hosting, Internet Service Provider, travel, software or hardware purchases, or any other service NOT directly provided by me. 

     * Depending upon availability these Block Hour Rates can fluctuate.  So be sure to ask. *

If you can find someone who can offer better hourly rates than this, and actually deliver,
then I would strongly suggest you take advantage of it.

The following rough pricing guide should give you an idea of ballpark costs for "typical" web projects. Obviously every client is unique and I strive to provide custom solutions for your specific needs. However, web sites do typically fall into one of several broad categories depending on the general requirements for the project. These are guidelines for your reference only, and do not substitute for a price quote specific to your project. To obtain a quote for your specific project, please visit my pages for Web Design, Software, or Consulting.

With web projects in particular, there are often additional costs beyond initial development that you must consider. For your reference, here are some of the most common "extra fees" you may encounter. I do not provide these services directly (though I can help you get these services from others) so these are approximations only and subject to change. Don't forget, if you are establishing a new web site for your business, you may also wish to reprint your business stock (letterhead, business cards, etc.) to feature your new web site and e-mail addresses!

The following hourly rates may be used as a guide for pricing the various services that I provide (all amounts are in US $). Please keep in mind that it is possible to obtain a quote for an entire project rather than an hourly rate. Based on my many years of experience I am often able to provide very fast turnaround which results in high quality work at very reasonable prices! Also, when developing a specific price quote, I often substantially discount these hourly rates based on the size of the project. Again, for the most accurate figures please request a quote for your specific project at one of my pages for Web Design, Software, or Consulting.
