We track hourly services and charge rounding up to the nearest quarter hour (15 minutes).
We will provide fixed bids for small updates on an hourly basis. For example, adding a page to your website we might quote at an even hour, and if we go over a bit that’s on us unless there is some change to the request that we notify you of as the work is in progress.
WEBSITE UPDATES BY REQUEST
Our agency work includes a lot of website support and maintenance. Sometimes this work is performed as part of a monthly recurring program which includes web support, but if there is no fixed budget in place, our work is performed on a hourly basis and billed as such.
Bills are presented either at the completion of a deliverable or at the end of a monthly or quarterly period depending on the frequency of and amount of work performed.
You can expect an hourly fee to be applied for cases including but not limited to:
- Updating photos, posting content we are sent

STANDARD OF CARE AND FAIRNESS
We believe in fairness to the extent that it can be applied to our business practices. If we make a mistake, we will do our best to fix it. If our clients make a mistake, we will do our best to fix that too.
