This is how we work together
A project starts with a good conversation and ends with a result you're proud of. In between there's a process I like to keep transparent and predictable for both of us. On this page I explain how I work, what you can expect from me and what I expect from you.
The process
Every project goes through the same steps. That way we both know where we stand.
Introduction - We get to know each other and see if we can be of value to one another. No obligations, just a good conversation.
Intake - Together we map out what's needed and what the realisation involves. This is the foundation for everything that follows.
Design - I translate your wishes into a concrete design, graphically and/or technically, so you know exactly what you're getting before a single line of code is written.
Development - The actual build of the project. Every week I'll let you know what I've been working on, so you're always up to date on progress.
Launch - The project goes live. Where needed, there's aftercare to make sure everything runs smoothly.
After the intake you'll receive an hour estimate. In it I've broken the project down into tasks, with an expected time indication per task. The clearer a task is, the smaller that range. That way you know upfront what to expect.
What I expect from you
A good collaboration works both ways. I put myself fully into your project, and I hope you do too. Not that you need to be constantly available, but a little involvement makes a world of difference. The more you think along and give feedback, the better the end result. After all, we're doing this together.
Payment structure
How payment works depends on the type of project.
For websites I work with a fixed price based on a pre-agreed scope. You pay half at the start of the project, the other half at launch. Additional work outside the agreed scope is charged on an hourly basis at a rate we agree on upfront.
For apps and API integrations we agree after the intake on how many hours are invoiced upfront. This gives me the space to get started. The remaining hours are then invoiced monthly based on the actual hours worked.
For consultancy and audits it's simpler: the hours worked are invoiced monthly.
I work with a payment term of 14 days.
Maintenance and management after launch
After launch I'm still there. Do you need an adjustment, have a question or a small problem that needs solving? You can come to me on an hourly basis. I try to estimate upfront how long I expect to be working on it, so you won't be faced with any surprises. I charge in blocks of fifteen minutes.
Indicative pricing
Because I deliver custom work, I don't work with fixed prices. What I can give is a guideline to give you an idea of what to expect.
Straightforward projects, think a simple app, a website or an API integration, typically range between €5,000 and €10,000. Larger, more complex projects range between €10,000 and €50,000.
The exact costs are always estimated upfront and communicated transparently after the intake.
