Overview

Consulting is subject to terms of service

Sessions are one-time audio and/or video calls between you (the "Client") and me (the "Consultant"), and conducted through Zoom.

Projects are units of work such as research, analysis, site reviews, site builds, migrations, custom development, etc. A session is needed in order to identify the requirements and scope of your project.

Base Rate

Pricing depends on your base rate, which is defined as follows:

USD 480 if your FIRST invoice was paid IN FULL on or after 01 July 2023.

USD 360 if first invoice paid in full between 01 January 2020 and 30 June 2023.

USD 300 if first invoice paid in full between 01 January 2016 and 31 December 2019.

USD 240 if first invoice paid in full between 01 January 2012 and 31 December 2015.

USD 180 if first invoice paid in full between 01 December 2007 and 31 December 2011.

Feel free to contact me if you're not sure what your base rate is, have questions, etc.
