Pricing

WordPress website cost and every price we charge

Most website projects go over budget because the scope was vague and the bill was hourly. We do the opposite.

Questions we get asked

What if it takes longer than planned?

The price doesn't change. It's fixed in writing before we start, so if it takes us longer than planned, that's our cost.

What if I change my mind?

On a build, any change to the scope is quoted in writing before work on it starts, and you can say no. If you stop a project, you pay for the milestones completed and get everything built so far. Care plans have no lock-in: cancel any month.

What if the fix doesn't hold?

Every emergency fix includes 30 days of the Care plan, so a problem that comes back in that time is handled under the plan. Hack cleanups include 60 days of care and a free re-clean if the site is reinfected within 30 days.

Who do I call when something breaks?

Start an emergency fix online and we begin straight away; most fixes are done by the next morning. On a care plan, email us and emergencies jump the queue. Anything else gets a first reply within 2 business hours.

When do I pay?

Emergency fixes and hack cleanups: upfront by card. Speed work: half to start, the balance after you see the new score. Builds: 40% to start, 40% when you approve the design or staging site, 20% at launch. Care plans: monthly.

What do you need from me?

For a fix, access to your site and hosting. For a build, a 30-minute discovery call, your brand files, and your content by the dates in the scope, unless we're writing or moving it for you.
