What I build, and what it costs.

Half up front to book the slot, half on delivery. Longer projects are split into milestones so you're never paying far ahead of the work. Retainers are billed monthly.

That's normal, and it's what the discovery call is for. Most people arrive with a problem rather than a spec. We'll turn it into one together — and if the honest answer is that you don't need custom software, I'll tell you that.

You do, entirely, once the final invoice is paid. Code sits in your repository, hosting and domains go in your name, and you get the handover documentation. Nothing is held hostage.

Small adjustments are part of building something well and I don't nickel and dime them. Anything genuinely new gets quoted separately before it starts, so the original timeline and price stay honest.

Yes. Work happens asynchronously with a written update and a demo each week, plus a call whenever one is genuinely useful. Overlap of a couple of hours is plenty.

Often, yes. It starts with a paid audit — a few days spent reading the code and infrastructure — after which you get a written recommendation on whether to continue it, refactor it, or start again. The audit fee comes off the project if you go ahead.
