FAQs

How much do you charge?

I like to be open and honest about how much I charge. My rate is £60 + VAT per hour which works out at £420 + VAT for a 7 hour day. I charge the same for development, support and consultancy. All work must be pre-approved before I begin.

Can you give me an estimate for some work?

Yes, I can give you an estimate but I will need to know exactly what is required. Please provide as much information as possible and I may have to ask questions to get further clarification.

What is your availability?

My availability varies week by week so it is best to contact me to discuss availability. I tend to have gaps for smaller pieces of work but any larger projects will need to be scheduled around other work.

Will you travel for work?

I work remotely but I can travel if this is required. Any travel costs and time will be chargeable although if you are local I am happy to travel within a reasonable distance (i.e. within 15 miles).

Do you do front-end and back-end development?

Yes, I am a full stack developer so I am comfortable with both front-end (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc) and back-end development (.NET, C#, MVC, SQL, etc).

What are your payment terms?

I will invoice you once the work is complete so you don't normally need to pay anything upfront. For larger projects I may ask for an upfront payment of 50%.

Do you take on existing websites?

Yes, I offer both development and support for existing websites. In order to take on an existing website, I will need:

  • Full administrator access to the CMS
  • A copy of the latest source code (including assets, templates, SASS files, WebPack/Grunt/Gulp build scripts, etc)
  • A copy of the database
  • Login details for the existing hosting environment
  • Details of any third-party integrations (Stripe etc)

Do you host websites?

Yes, I have a dedicated virtual server for hosting websites if required, alternatively I can manage websites hosted on your own server, Microsoft Azure or on Umbraco Cloud.

Can you give me some examples of your work?

The majority of the websites I work on are built for other agencies so I am not allowed to advertise them but I am able to supply a list on request.
