FAQs

Alright, how much does it cost to hire you?

We charge a fixed daily or hourly rate, with a 20% discount for projects lasting over two weeks. Every project is different, but some ballpark figures are: logo & branding £500-£2000, WordPress sites £2-6k, ecommerce sites £10-20k. Bespoke projects are fixed-rate.

What kind of clients do you take on?

We specialise in small-to-medium size enterprises, normally between 1-100-person companies but we can rise to any challenge. From lonely solo startups on up, we can help.

How long do projects take?

For a rough idea, branding takes a day or two, websites normally 5-20 days, ecommerce sites 20-60 days. If you’re in some sort of trouble we can work faster, for extra cost.

Can you help us with some weird technology?

Probably! We’ve been around a long while, from Flash and Silverlight to AR/VR, DHTML to XAML. If it’s digital, we can do it. That said, we're mostly a Node/Javascript/PHP house, but we do a lot of work with .net folk. Ask us!

Writing content is hard! Also we have no images.

Content is frequently a bottleneck, and as such, we have developed a network of expert copywriters, videographers and SEO experts to ease the burden of a blank slate.

We are a small non-profit and have next to no budget

That's not really a question but we are always delighted to help charities with branding and websites. We made a whole page about it.
