you're paying for a defined product and outcome, not for hours at a desk
How we start
idea first, proposal second, build third
idea-to-blueprint
£495
Ninety focused minutes. We interrogate the idea, find the real problem underneath it, work out who it is actually for and decide what should be built first.
a build proposal
fixed price
If we both want to carry on, you get a fixed-price proposal with a clear scope. Most suitable projects land between £7,500 and £15,000. The £495 comes off any build over £7,500.
your private build period
one at a time
I take one commissioned build at a time, so your product gets my full creative and strategic attention: scheduled demos of the working thing, and clear feedback rounds.
what I don't do
I don't take on basic brochure websites or copies of off-the-shelf templates. I'm most interested in products that need thoughtful structure, a database or CMS, intelligent workflows, external connections, or something that doesn't quite exist yet.
one project at a time means yours gets all of it
the working agreement
- 50% to secure your build slot
- 25% after the working product demo
- 25% before handover or launch
- Two structured rounds of feedback
- Anything outside the agreed scope is quoted separately
- You own the workspace, domain, data and external accounts
- A prototype isn't automatically ready for sensitive or regulated use
- Specialist engineering, security testing or compliance is a separate quote
Questions people actually ask
the straight answers
Most commissioned builds are between £7,500 and £20,000, priced as a fixed amount for a defined product rather than by the hour. A connected product with a database, sign-in and one or two integrations is typically £7,500 to £12,000. A complex product with multiple user roles, payments, automations or AI is typically £12,000 to £20,000 and up. Smaller starting points: a 90-minute Idea-to-Blueprint session at £495, a Lovable Power Hour at £250, and a testable concept prototype from £3,500.
