How we price the work
We do not publish per-hour rates or off-the-shelf packages, because no two builds carry the same risk. Instead we work in four clear engagement models - you will always know which one you are in, what it includes, and what it excludes, before anything is signed.
Discovery Sprint
A short, fixed-scope engagement that ends with a written plan you own - whether or not you build it with us.
Best when the problem is clear but the solution is not.
- Stakeholder and user sessions
- Process map of how work is done today
- Solution outline and technical architecture note
- Phase plan, risks and indicative budget range
Commercial basis
Fixed fee
Product Build
A milestone-based build with a named team, staging access from iteration one, and priced change requests instead of scope drift.
Best for a defined product or platform with agreed acceptance criteria.
- Design system and full interface design
- Full-stack development and integrations
- QA, UAT support and accessibility pass
- Deployment, handover and documentation
Commercial basis
Fixed price per milestone
Dedicated Team
An embedded squad - engineering, design and delivery - working to your backlog inside your rituals and tooling.
Best when the roadmap is continuous and priorities shift.
- Named engineers and designers at agreed allocation
- Your sprint cadence, board and communication tools
- Monthly capacity review and re-planning
- Scale allocation up or down with notice
Commercial basis
Monthly retainer by allocation
Care & Support
Keeping a live product healthy: monitoring, dependency and security updates, and a response commitment in writing.
Best after launch, when the system has real users depending on it.
- Agreed response and resolution targets
- Monitoring, backups and incident handling
- Security patching and dependency upgrades
- A small monthly pool of enhancement hours

What moves the number
Five things decide what an engagement costs.
We would rather explain the drivers than quote a headline figure that changes on contact with reality. Most proposals land as a range first, then a fixed number once scope is agreed.
Request an estimateScope and complexity
Number of user roles, integrations, and regulated or safety-critical requirements.
Team shape
How much design, engineering, AI and QA capacity the work genuinely needs.
Timeline
Compressed delivery costs more than a sensible one; we will always say which you are buying.
Data and compliance
Healthcare, education and public-sector work carries extra assurance effort.
Ownership model
Full IP assignment, source handover and hosting arrangements.
Our commercial commitments
No hidden line items - every cost appears in the proposal before work begins.
Change requests are quoted and approved in writing, never absorbed silently.
You own the source code and the IP on final payment for the phase.
Estimates carry their assumptions; if the requirement is uncertain, we price discovery separately.
