Other firms
may charge you by the hour, but how can you know what they consider to be an
hour's work? We agree on a price with you before starting work, and stick to
it?
Rather than providing
flat-rate prices, we prefer to negotiate a suitable fee with each client,
after having reviewed the proposed project.
The following are some
guidelines that can help you when budgeting your project:

Once a fee
has been agreed upon, we do ask for a deposit. Full payment is made on
successful completion of the project.
Prices are quoted in U.S.
dollars, but the client's home country is not an issue. To convert the above
amounts to your currency, please use this
universal currency converter, which will open in a new window.
Substantial payments are usually made by check (bank draft) and credit cards
are accepted through PayPal.
