How much does it cost to hire me?

My rates are fairly straightforward. You pay $40 per hour for all work except programming, and programming is $50 per hour.

When you first make contact with me, I'll ask a few questions to determine your needs, including "What do you need?" and then I'll generate a quick ballpark estimate and tell it to you, usually while still on the phone. From there we'll proceed to a formal estimate after hammering out exactly what we're going to do, and when you accept the formal estimate, I'll begin work.

I do require a deposit on all estimates that are over $100 before I will start working for you.
