How projects are
generally priced
We treat every project as a unique case, with pricing tailored to the specific needs and scope. While no two jobs are the same, we do offer startup packages for those needing fast, streamlined solutions.
Below is a general breakdown of our services and hourly rates. Our agile setup means we don’t carry a large in-house team that we need to keep busy—so we’re never pushing unnecessary services just to fill capacity. Instead, we bring in the right specialists only when needed, based on your project requirements. Reach out at any time if you need a clearer guideline, or just fill in our quotation form.
Web Developer
Front-end developers take design mockups and turn them into functional, interactive web pages. Back-end developers work behind the scenes, building and maintaining the systems that power your site’s functionality.
Programmers also write code and help integrate different platforms and tools to work seamlessly together. Developers are a unique breed—and knowing how to communicate with them effectively is a skill of its own.
Web DevelopmentSenior Software Developer
“Senior” isn’t about age or years in the role—it’s about mindset and capability. A senior developer understands their strengths, adapts quickly, spots patterns, and, most importantly, focuses on solving problems, not just writing code. They take a big-picture view, often recommending smarter alternatives, and work independently without the need for supervision.
Software DevelopmentGraphic Designer
Our designers focus on visual impact—but they also understand that aesthetics alone aren’t enough. Strong UX and UI principles are essential to create designs that not only look good but work well. Whether sketching on paper or working entirely digitally, they choose the tools that suit the project.
We don’t follow rigid rules or set preferences, because rules can limit ideas. And while “creative” is a word that’s been overused, we let the work speak for itself.
Graphic Design Web DesignArt Director
Someone needs to come up with a concept, to see the bigger picture and to pick on the small details, that others would often ignore. Yes, art directors can be annoying, obsessive, pushy and persuasive (we luckily have one of those).
It’s the subtle touches that make the difference, and an art director ensures nothing is missed while keeping the creative vision cohesive and bold.
Graphic Design Web DesignSEO & Digital Marketing
No, it’s not a typo and prices do start from just $590. That’s exactly how much you will pay for a full month of Local SEO to get your business found around your local area. A process to get your website to be “SEO friendly” & a preliminary website audit also starts from just $890.
You’ll be provided with a keyword and competitor analysis, internal + external website audit, report + recommendations. This is essential prior to starting a full-fledged SEO campaign so that you are not blindly trying to rank, instead, you now have a competitive advantage and a clear goal in mind. There are no catches and we won’t stalk you to get your work.
SEO & Digital MarketingConsultation
This is where you talk and we listen. Then we talk and find solutions or provide recommendations. First consultation, in most cases, is free of charge. In fact, we only charge for consults on rare occasions and always happy to have a chat and brainstorm some ideas.
Don’t be afraid to reach out, we are not lawyers (lawyer clients please don’t take this as an offence) and won’t send you a bill full of surprises.
