Pricing & information
Over the years I’ve learnt that the keys to successful long-term working relationships are transparency and honest communication. This includes being up-front about my rates, what your project will cost, and your budgets. The aim of this page is to help you set your budgets and decide if you’d like to work with me.
My day rate for a seven-hour day is £455. That’s an equivalent hourly rate of £65.
My work tends to focus on long-term projects involving custom development, design, and problem-solving, so it’s unusual for me to work on projects shorter than 4-5 days or with a budget of less than about £2,500.
If you’re looking for a quick website for a few hundred pounds, I am probably not the person for you. There are however lots of great companies out there who provide off-the-shelf WordPress websites for that kind of budget.
What about VAT?
I am not currently VAT-registered, so these are the prices you pay.
If that all sounds good to you and you think that my experience, skills and charges fit your project and budget, get in touch so we can chat about working together!
If you need a bit more information to help you decide, please continue reading.
Blimey, that sounds like a lot!
It’s true, I’m not cheap, but my rates are slightly below the market average for experienced freelance WordPress developers. I’ve been working with WordPress for 20 years and I know it inside out. I write high quality, future-proof code, so you won’t be paying to redo my work in a few months. And if you were to engage an agency for the same work, you’d without doubt be paying significantly more (I don’t have to pay rent on a fancy Shoreditch office!).
I have built up a huge wealth of experience of understanding what different organisations need, how to communicate, manage projects and work efficiently, and above all how to translate your ideas into a successful website. This not only saves you time and money in the long run, it also means your website will meet your needs and bring a return on your investment.
I always aim to deliver extremely good value, by working productively and efficiently. This way I deliver work that enables you to meet your goals, within budget and on time.
How about a monthly retainer?
If you require regular ongoing work and want to guarantee my availability for one or more days per month, this can be a good way to ensure that I have availability at shorter notice for your project. It doesn’t suit every client or all types of work, so contact me and we can discuss.
Summary
I always aim to deliver the highest possible value to you by using my extensive skills and experience, and to be open and honest about my work, the costs, and what is involved.
I hope that after reading this far you would like to consider working with me – in which case please get in touch and let’s talk!
