What it costsPricing
A pricing page that refuses to give a number is worse than no pricing page, so here are the ranges the work has actually landed in.The ranges this work has actually landed in, so you can tell before the first conversation whether we are in your budget.
We quote a fixed price for a fixed scope before you commit. These are the ranges the work has actually landed in, so you can tell before the first call whether we are in your range.

A platform
Quoted
fixed scope, staged
The system your business runs on, built in priced stages.
- Process mapping before the build
- Staged delivery, each stage separately priced
- Multi-tenant, payments, admin tooling as required
- Migration from the existing system
- Ongoing support agreement if you want one
Ongoing support
A monthly agreement or on-call as you need it. Your choice, priced up front, and you can change or end it whenever you like. Support is never a condition of ownership — you already own everything.
What moves the number
- Integrations
- Each external system that has to be talked to adds scope. Systems with a good API add little; systems without one add a lot.
- Data migration
- Clean data migrates cheaply. Fifteen years of a spreadsheet does not.
- Compliance
- Obligations that need evidence — audit trails, retention, access control — are worth their cost, but they are a cost.
- Design
- Working from your existing brand is cheaper than creating one.
- Deadline
- A date we would not otherwise pick is a real constraint and it is priced as one.
What never moves
- The quote. Once it is written and accepted, that is the number, unless you approve a scope change in writing.
- Ownership. You own the code, the accounts and the domains regardless of what happens afterwards.
- The free conversation. It stays free even if we tell you to hire someone else.
Our own products
Our own products price separately and each product page states its own. HumanOR is US$1/month unlimited after a free tier. WebTools Ultima is free. DominionOS and WeftScript are open source. The rest are metered free tiers with paid plans above them.
Common questions about cost
What does a project cost?
A focused piece of work, such as a booking system or a rebuilt site, usually lands in the low five figures. A platform your business runs on is larger. We will not pretend to know your number before we understand the problem, but you will have a fixed written figure before you commit to anything, and the conversation that gets us there is free.
How long does it take?
Most projects run six to sixteen weeks from go-ahead to live. You see working software throughout, so you are never waiting months to find out whether we understood you.
What if we need changes halfway through?
Expected, and fine. We price the change, you approve it in writing, then we build it. Nothing gets added to your invoice that you have not agreed to first.
