Approved extra work · $110 per hour
Changes beyond the scope, priced before they start.
For work outside a project's scope or a plan's monthly allowance: a new page, a change to a form, or a connection to a service you already use. You approve an estimate and a spending cap before I start. Larger custom development is quoted individually.
$110/hourAn estimate and a spending cap, approved in writing first. Custom development and larger projects are quoted individually.
The kind of work this covers
- A new page, or a section added to an existing one.
- A booking or quote widget from software you already use, placed on the site.
- A form that needs to do more: extra fields, routing to a different inbox.
- Pages that load slowly, or break on phones.
- A feature WordPress doesn’t do out of the box.
How it runs
Nothing is charged until the scope and price are agreed in writing.
Describe the change
What you want to happen, not how. I’ll ask what I need to know.
An estimate and a cap
An estimate of the hours, and a spending cap, approved by you in writing before work starts.
The work
If it would go past the cap, I stop and ask before doing more. Nothing above the cap is charged without your approval.
The result, checked
The change is checked as the estimate sets out.
What you get on paper
You receive the development estimate in writing. Here's the format, filled in for an invented business.

Questions

What’s the difference from the 30 minutes in a care plan?
The care plans include up to 30 minutes a month of small changes to content you supply, like new hours or a swapped photo. Unused minutes don’t carry over. New pages and features are extra work, estimated first.
Can you work on custom software, not a website?
Sometimes. I build software too. Tell me what it is, and if it’s a fit I’ll quote it individually.
