Start a project

A contact page for development agencies, IT consultants and freelance engineers that turns a vague 'can you help?' into a useful brief. It explains what happens after someone gets in touch, collects the details you need through your own form - service, budget range, timescale and a description - shows the kinds of projects you take on, and answers the questions clients are often shy to ask about cost, contracts and who owns the code. Choose your project inquiry form when you import the page, and rewrite the budget ranges to suit your work.

Tell us what you are building

A few details now save a lot of back-and-forth later. We read every inquiry ourselves and reply within one business day.

What happens next

  • Within a day, an engineer replies with any questions and a few times for a call.
  • On a 30-minute call we talk through the goals, the users and anything already built.
  • Within a week you get a written proposal: the approach, milestones and a fixed price.
  • If it is a fit, we agree a start date. If it is not, we will say so and suggest who might help.

Good to know

What does a typical project cost?

Most new applications we build fall between $20,000 and $80,000. Smaller pieces of work, such as an integration or a rescue health check, start at around $3,000. The proposal always gives a fixed price before work begins.

How long does it take?

A focused application usually takes 8 to 16 weeks from the signed proposal to launch. We will give you a realistic date, not an optimistic one.

Who owns the code?

You do, once the final invoice is paid. You get the source code, the documentation and every account and password.

Will you sign an NDA?

Yes, happily, before we talk about anything confidential.

Do you work with in-house teams?

Often. We can lead the project, or work alongside your developers with code reviews and shared planning.
