HOURLY RATE

We can provide you with our hourly rate, based on your specific needs, on an ad hoc basis, should this be more suitable.

RETAINER

We have the retainer option for those who would like to benefit from booking a set amount of hours per day, per week or per month, which can be set out contractually for a set period of time, or on a rolling contract with a mutually agreed notice period in place.

PROJECT BASED

For specific project based work, where a client may have a regimented time frame for work that needs completing, we can discuss the possibility of basing a fee structure around the completion of the project in question, based on projected time spent.
