// pricing FAQ

Common questions.

How are payments structured?

Fixed-price projects are split into 50% deposit upon kickoff and 50% upon successful staging review before final production deployment. Retainers are billed monthly.

Do you work on fixed price or hourly?

I typically work on fixed milestone pricing so clients have total predictability. Hourly or sprint-based billing is available for ongoing retainers.

What is included in the 30-day hypercare?

Every project includes 30 days of warranty support covering defect resolution, edge-case fixes, and admin questions post-launch at zero extra charge.
