Why every project on this site has one price, agreed up front — and why hourly billing is a scam against the customer.
Hourly billing punishes the fast
Think about what an hourly rate actually rewards. Two builders quote you $100 an hour. One finishes your website in 10 hours. The other takes 40. The slow one bills you four times as much — and you are supposed to thank them for the thoroughness.
Hourly billing pays for time, not results. It rewards padding, punishes efficiency, and turns every project into a blank check. You do not know the price until it is over. That is not a deal. That is a hostage situation with invoices.
Drag it yourself
Move the sliders. This is what happens to your bill when the builder is slower than promised — or just expensive.
True stories, names withheld
Every one of these happened to someone who emailed me after. The details are changed; the invoices were real.
The $9,000 landing page
Quoted "about $2,000" hourly. Three months later: 90 hours at $100/hr. The page had five sections and a contact form. You could buy sixty of my websites for that.
The discovery phase
$4,500 for "discovery" — meetings about what the website should say. No website was built. Discovery discovered that discovery was the product.
The hostage redesign
Two years of $300/month "maintenance" for a site that never changed. When they asked to leave, the agency said the design was licensed, not sold. The ransom to keep their own website: $5,000.
Hourly isn't the villain in every story. But every one of these stories needed hourly to happen.
One price, up front
Here is how it works on this site. You tell me what you need. I quote one flat price before I start. That price does not move. If it takes me twice as long as I thought, that is my problem, not yours.
- ✓Price locked before work starts. No surprises, no "while I'm in there" extras.
- ✓You own everything. Code, files, domain — yours. No lock-in, no ransom.
- ✓Fast is free. If I finish early, you still pay the same. I am incentivized to be fast, not slow.
Websites $150. Stores $300. Games $450. Apps $500. That is 50% off until Oct 31. Hire me →
Asked a lot
What if the project grows halfway through?
Then we talk about it like adults and agree a new flat price for the new work — before I do it. The original price still doesn't move.
What if you finish in a day?
Then you got a great deal and I got a great day. The price was for the result, not my calendar. This is the whole point.
Do you do hourly for small fixes?
No. Small fixes get small flat prices. "Thirty minutes of work" shouldn't require a contract and a timesheet.
Why should I trust a flat price this low?
Try a prototype first — there are six working ones on the hire page. The price is low because there's no agency between us, not because the work is cheap.
There is none
That is the whole point. One page, one price, one builder. If the deal ever needs fine print, it is not a flat deal anymore.
