Not on my price list? Tell me the job and get a fixed quote
Landing pages, integrations, upgrades and apps that got stuck halfway. Tell me what you need, and within 24 hours of our call you get a written scope and one fixed price. You talk to me, the person doing the work, the whole way through.
Two ways to a fixed price
A price is only worth trusting if the job is clear enough to price. So I tell you which case you're in.
If the job is clear after one conversation, you get the written scope and the quote within 24 hours, and the call costs nothing.
Some jobs aren't clear yet: an unfamiliar codebase, or an idea with open questions. Guessing would mean a padded price or a surprise later, so I suggest a short paid scoping step instead. You keep the written scope either way, and you're free to take it to another developer.

Who it's for
- 01
You know the job, and no package fits
A single page, one connection or one fix. You need that job done well, not a full website plan.
- 02
You have something half-built
A previous developer moved on, or an AI builder got you most of the way. You want to keep what works and finish the rest.
- 03
You've outgrown your tools
A process that no off-the-shelf tool quite fits, and you'd like an honest view on whether custom work is worth it.
Jobs I can take on
If yours isn't here, ask anyway. If it isn't something I do well, I'll tell you on the call.
01A landing page for one campaign
- What you see
- An ad or launch is coming up, and your main site is too slow or too hard to change in time.
- How I fix it
- One fast page built around a single action, connected to your form, CRM or booking tool.
02A connection no plugin covers
- What you see
- Two tools should talk to each other, but there's no built-in option, or the plugin can't follow your rules.
- How I fix it
- A direct connection through their APIs, with error alerts and a written note on how it works.
03An old Next.js version
- What you see
- Security warnings, packages that won't update, and every change feels risky.
- How I fix it
- A step-by-step upgrade on a preview link, checked page by page before it replaces the live site.
04An app stuck in Lovable or Bolt
- What you see
- The demo works, but the last features keep breaking, and you aren't sure your data is safe.
- How I fix it
- I review the code, logins and database access rules, then tell you what to keep, fix or rebuild.
05A project another developer left
- What you see
- Nobody can explain how it works, and small changes break other things.
- How I fix it
- A review first, then fixes in priority order and a handoff document. If a rebuild is cheaper, I'll say so.
06A small internal tool
- What you see
- One spreadsheet runs an important part of the business, and only one person understands it.
- How I fix it
- A simple tool with logins for that one process. For anything bigger, see my web app plans.
What you get in writing before you pay
What's included
The pages, features and connections, listed one by one, so we both know what done means.
What's left out
Anything you might assume is included but isn't, so it can't surprise you later.
One fixed price
The total for that scope, plus any fees you'd pay to other services, such as hosting.
The timeline
When work starts and when you'll have it, with the steps in between.
How changes work
Anything new is quoted before I work on it, so the price never moves without your OK.
What happens after launch
How long support lasts and what's covered, so nothing is unclear on launch day.
Starting prices, by size of job
So you can tell if we're in the same range before you book. Your quote is one fixed price for your exact scope.

Marketplace gig, me or an agency?
An honest comparison, based on what freelancers and agencies published in November 2026. Your quote depends on your scope.
Marketplace gig
- Price
- Varies, often "contact for pricing"
- Getting a firm price
- Varies by seller
- Who you talk to
- Whoever took the gig
- Who owns the code
- Many listings don't say
- Best for
- A small, well-defined task
Me
- Price
- From $500, fixed
- Getting a firm price
- Within 24 hours of the call
- Who you talk to
- The developer, directly
- Who owns the code
- You do
- Best for
- One clear job or a first version
Agency
- Price
- Often $10k–$50k+ for a first version
- Getting a firm price
- Often after paid discovery: roughly $4,000 and 2–3 weeks
- Who you talk to
- Usually a project manager
- Who owns the code
- Usually you, check the contract
- Best for
- Big teams, regulated or round-the-clock systems
I'm one person, and that's a limit as well as a benefit. If you need a team, round-the-clock cover or a heavily regulated build, an agency is the better choice and I'll tell you so on the call.

Questions about custom projects
Can you really give a fixed price in 24 hours?
Yes, when the job is clear after our call. When it isn't, I won't guess: I'll say so and suggest the paid scoping step, so the price you get is one I can stand behind.
What does the paid scoping step include?
About a week of work for $500: I review your code or idea, answer the open questions and write the scope, then give you a fixed quote. The $500 comes off the price if we go ahead, and the written scope is yours either way.
Can you take over an app built with Lovable, Bolt or another AI tool?
Usually, yes. I review it first, especially the logins and who can read which data, because those are common weak spots in these apps. Then I tell you whether to fix it or rebuild it.
What if I need changes during the project?
Small adjustments are part of the work. Anything new is quoted first, so the price never changes without your OK.
Who owns the code?
You do. The code, the database and the hosting accounts are yours, and the handoff document means another developer could pick it up.
Is my job too small?
Probably not, but below about $500 a job rarely justifies a scope and a quote. If a built-in setting or an existing tool can do it, I'll tell you on the call and you won't need me.
Booking projects
Have a project in mind but unsure where to start?
One free 30-minute call is all it takes. We'll talk through your goals, and I'll tell you what to build, how long it takes, and what it costs, with a fixed quote within 24 hours. No pressure, no obligation.
Tell me about your project
I'll reply within 24 hours.
