FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I bill both by the hour and flat rate for projects when a details project spec is provided up front. If changes are made during the development process, I require written approval before moving forward. When debugging code problems, I only bill by the hour as it is nearly impossible to put an estimate in time finding a bug.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I get hired for website development to complete a specific project, not full time or part time employment. Because of this I work for small companies that do not have the need for a dedicated web developer in house. These are my typical customers: - small business owners for new website development - small business owners that need website support and development on an existing website - "white label" support for graphic designers, web designers and small marketing companies that need programming support. - individuals that are building start up businesses on the Internet.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Thoroughly think through your project requirements and detail it out in writing. before contacting a web developer. This helps both you and I. It helps me by having a clear understanding of what is expected and it helps you by forcing you to think of what you really need. It helps the overall project go smoothly because we both know up front what the project requirements are. I want you to be happy with the end product. If you don't know "until you see it", then you don't quite know what you want. This leads to delays in project deadlines and added project costs when re-coding needs to be done. The more changes made while in development, the more opportunity for bugs to arise.
