Fast & Streamlined - 1-Hour Minimum
We have a 1-hour minimum for all tasks. Get the most bang for your buck by grouping requests together. Please provide details in a streamlined manner with all required assets in each support request. Ask us for a Dropbox link to send us secure passwords, files, or images. We move FAST, so we can get a lot done each hour when the guesswork is removed!
After billing is set up, we will provide a specific email address for support, or submit a ticket online.
Why multiple rates?
Our Standard Rate is $75 per hour, ideal for tasks that anyone on our team can handle. For more advanced work that calls for an expert touch, our Technical Rate is $150 per hour. This covers jobs that need serious skills—and the costs for the amazingly skilled staff + paid tools we use to do the work. After all, we deserve a fair wage in the United States for the training and expertise required to deliver awesome results.
What If It's An Emergency?
Our Emergency Rate is $300 per hour and is used for urgent cases or requests with short deadlines. We may need to pay overtime or bump other projects if the task can't wait 48+ hours and fit into our project load. Grey hairs and added stress can cause burnout, higher turnover, or even illness... requiring bonuses or extra time off. We want to be fair to other paying customers, and we need a happy thriving team.
Frequent Changes? Get Ongoing Support
If you tend to have frequent, smaller tasks or prefer to send requests as they come up, a monthly website changes retainer might be a better fit. You set up a monthly plan with us and pre-pay for a set amount of hours each month. If you exceed your retainer time, we’ll give you a heads-up—or, if it’s urgent, we can simply bill for the extra hours.
Under a monthly plan, we provide a 24-48 business hour response on most requests, as long as they are sent to our dedicated support ticket system (avoid sending emails to a specific employee). Rather than a 1-hour minimum, we can track as low as 15 minutes per request.
Need A Project Quote?
If you have a bunch of hourly changes and need a quote we can email a rough estimate or provide a proposal for a one-time Special Project. New websites, special marketing projects, or partial rebuilds are always quoted as fixed-price projects with a signed proposal.
If you can't provide all of the details and assets now, or things are subject to change, it may not be quotable. Fixed-price project quotes are streamlined processes and do not include flexibility for evolving situations or ongoing change requests.
We honestly can't determine the project cost without knowing all the annoying details. Make sense? Let's review your project in a virtual meeting and go from there. If you're ready to go, let's align.
