Estimate

Ten questions, then a real number

Free, about two minutes. Builds start at $495 plus GST, and every answer that moved the figure is shown next to it, so you can see what you are paying for and what to change.

This is an estimate, not a quote. It is produced only from what you tell me below. If any of it turns out differently when we talk, the number changes, and that is arithmetic rather than a bait and switch. It becomes a fixed price only in writing, after a conversation.

1. What are you after?
3. Is the writing done?
4. Photos and images?
5. Is there a website now?
6. What has to connect to it?
7. Who changes it afterwards?
8. Do you already own the domain and hosting?
9. How many people approve things?
10. Do you want analytics set up?

What you have described so far

    The number is one short step away. I ask for your details first so the estimate is a record we both hold, rather than a figure you half remember from a website.

    The honest limits

    What this number is and is not

    It is arithmetic, not a guess. The same calculator produces my internal costing, so the figure you see is derived from the hours your answers imply at a single rate, not from what the market will bear or what you look like you can afford.

    It is only as good as the answers. If the copy turns out not to be written, or the old site has forty pages nobody can find, the hours change and so does the number. You will be told which answer moved it.

    It is not a quote and it does not bind either of us. A fixed price exists only in a written proposal with a version number and an expiry date on it, issued after we have talked.

    It cannot go below the floor. Ownership of your accounts, a tested enquiry path, ordinary accessibility, the technical baseline and a written handover are in every price on this site. They are not options and they do not come out to hit a number.
