Make Your Time A Priority.

I certainly will.

Option 1: Hourly Rate

A simple pricing option for your ‘one off’ or ‘need in an emergency’  task.  All time is tracked and a report is sent to you with your invoice.  Perfect for tasks required on an ad-hoc or PAYG basis.  No ongoing commitment although a 50% advance payment is required for all new clients.   Any onsite training required will be billed at an hourly rate and does not include travel expenses. 

Option 2: Project based

Perfect when its easier to set a fixed price for a specific task or project. Is there something on your to do list that for whatever reason never gets done?  Individual quotes for individual clients.  Let me know your project needs.

Option 3: Retainer

So we now love working together and you want a regular and continued service.  We agree a retainer fee and set number of monthly hours based on your business requirements. All retainers include a priority service, expertise and regular communication to ensure your business needs are met.  Package deals start from 2 hours per month up to 30 hours per month.
