$75 / hour
Development
Custom theme and front-end builds, functionality work, integrations, and anything that involves writing code.
For agencies & in-house teams
Working with agencies
A remote development partner with published rates, a workflow that slots into yours, and no account layer in between.
We play well with others.
If you need extra development capacity for your in-house team, we're a remote pair connected to you by GIT — you'll find us on GitHub and Bitbucket — plus email, chat, and video. We regularly support B Corps and nonprofits alongside agency work.
And if you're a design studio looking for a development partner to translate your comps to the web, that's most of what we do. Mobile-first, responsive, and built to match what you designed.

Our rates, in public
You shouldn't have to book a call to find out what someone charges. Here's what we bill, so you can decide whether we're worth a conversation before spending one.
$65 / hour
WordPress & project management
Installation, configuration, testing, troubleshooting, and running a web project end to end.
$55 / hour
Content loading
Getting copy and imagery into the CMS or the markup, including resizing images for use.
Lower rates are often possible on monthly retainer relationships — worth asking if you expect steady volume.

Process
How a project runs
We work on your staging environment and hand finished work back there. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
- You send specs What the work is, what compensation is offered, and when it's due. Timeline and available budget up front saves everyone a round.
- Contract signed We provide it; you agree to it. Then work starts.
- You grant access Whatever the job needs — Bitbucket, WP Engine, staging and live, SFTP or WordPress credentials, PSDs and design comps, your project manager, your lead developer, your organization's developer guidelines.
- We build on staging You review the finished work in your own environment, not a screenshot.
- Approval, then live We can push it live, or leave it on staging for you to deploy when it suits you.
Scope
Ways we might help
Comps to custom WordPress theme
You provide design comps and assets; we return a semantically coded, responsive custom theme.
Added functionality
New features on an existing client site, using JavaScript, plugins, or add-ons as the CMS makes appropriate.
Partial or sectional builds
Just the HTML and CSS for a section or template, when your team is handling the rest.
E-commerce
WordPress and WooCommerce, Shopify, BigCommerce, and similar storefront platforms.
HTTPS / SSL conversion
Moving a client site to secure hosting, which search engines have long since stopped treating as optional.
Content loading
Copy and imagery into the CMS or straight into the markup, with images resized for the web.
Full design and build
Discovery and kickoff, mood boards, wireframes, on-page SEO and content, comps, valid markup, custom theme, and training — concept through launch.
