How I work

Three ways to start

Which one you are depends on one thing only: how clear the project already is in your head. None of them is better than the others, and you do not have to know which one you are before writing to me.

  • Scope in writingbefore anything starts
  • One agreed priceset against that scope
  • Extras approved firstno surprise on any invoice

Which one sounds like you?

“You know what you want, and how it should work”

Straight to a fixed quote

You already have the thing specified in your head, or on paper. You do not need me to help you decide what it is — you need it built properly.

Fixed scope · fixed price
  1. Step 1

    Send a short brief

    A few paragraphs is plenty: what it is, what it has to do, anything it must fit into. No template to fill in.

  2. Step 2

    A 30-minute callFree

    You walk me through it and I ask the awkward questions early, while they are still cheap to answer.

  3. Step 3

    We sign an NDAIf you need one

    If there is anything confidential, we sign before anything else moves. Ask for it before the call instead and that is fine too.

  4. Step 4

    You get a written offer

    What is included, what is explicitly not, how long it takes, and one price. In writing, so there is nothing to misremember later.

  5. Step 5

    If it works for you, we sign and I start

    Fixed scope for a fixed price. The number does not move because something turned out harder than I thought — that risk is mine, not yours.

“You know what you need to achieve, but not how it should be built”

Discovery first, then a fixed price

You can describe the result you want. You cannot describe the screens, the steps or the data — and you should not have to. That is the part I work out with you first.

Paid discovery → fixed scope · fixed price
  1. Step 1

    A video call to meetFree

    You tell me what you are trying to achieve and who it is for. No slides, no sales script.

  2. Step 2

    Paid discovery€490, credited back

    I work out how this should actually be built. It is real work, so it is paid work — and if we go on to build it, the fee comes off the project price.

  3. Step 3

    I map the process and sketch the design

    The flow, the screens, what happens at each step, what connects to what. Concrete enough to argue with.

  4. Step 4

    You review it until it makes sense

    We go round until you genuinely understand it and approve it. If at this point you decide not to build it, you still keep everything I produced.

  5. Step 5

    Then the price is fixed and I build

    With the scope now clear on paper, the project gets one price, and from there it is the same as the first route.

“It already exists and needs looking after”

Support and maintenance

Something is already running — built by me, by someone else, or by someone who has since disappeared. It needs to keep working, and someone has to be responsible for that.

Agreed scope · monthly fee
  1. Step 1

    I look at what you have

    What it runs on, what state it is in, what is actually at risk. You get that assessment whether or not you continue.

  2. Step 2

    We agree what is covered

    In writing, and in plain words: what I watch, what I fix, how fast I respond, and what is not included. Vague support agreements go wrong for both sides.

  3. Step 3

    A fixed monthly feeMonthly

    One amount per month for that scope. You know what it costs; I know what I owe you.

  4. Step 4

    Anything beyond it is quoted first

    New features are not maintenance. They get their own small scope and price, agreed before I start — never a surprise on an invoice.

Not sure which one you are?

Then it is almost certainly the second one, and that is the most common starting point by far. Write to me describing the result you want — not the solution — and I will tell you honestly which route fits, including if the answer is that you do not need me.

The discovery fee is €490 and comes off the project price if we build it. Everything else above — the first call, the brief, the assessment of something you already have — costs nothing.
