Fixed-price quotes

A fixed price for your WordPress build — before any code.

Hourly billing rewards the slow developer and punishes you for asking questions. We scope the WordPress work in writing first — what the site does, what the custom plugin has to handle, what it connects to — then quote one number. The number you approve is the number you pay.

How Fixed Pricing Works

One number, agreed before we start

Most web shops bill hourly and let the invoice tell you how the project went. We do it the other way — the price comes first.

Step 1

Describe the project

Tell us what you need built or fixed — pages, features, existing systems, rough timeline. The more detail, the tighter the number.

Step 2

We chart the scope

We break the work into a plain-English scope document — what's included, what's not, and what could change the price.

Step 3

You get a fixed number

A single written quote, not a range. You'll know the total cost before a line of code is written.

Step 4

No surprise changes

If you want to add scope mid-project, we quote the addition separately and get your sign-off first. No silent overages.

Scope The Project

Request your fixed quote

Send the details below and we'll turn them into a written scope and price — usually within two to three business days for straightforward projects. Prefer your own mail client? [email protected] reaches the same people.

Fixed Quote FAQ

Common questions about the process

How is this different from hourly billing?

With hourly billing, the final cost depends on how long the work takes — which you don't control and often can't predict. With a fixed quote, you agree to a number up front. We carry the risk of the estimate being off, not you.

What do you need from me to give a quote?

A description of what you want built or fixed, examples or references if you have them, a link to your current site (if one exists), and any must-have deadlines. We'll ask follow-up questions if anything's unclear before we commit to a number.

How long does it take to get a quote back?

Most straightforward projects get a written quote within two to three business days. Larger or more technical projects — migrations, custom integrations — may take a bit longer since we want the number to hold.

What happens if I want to change scope mid-project?

You can always add or change scope. We'll price the change separately, get your written sign-off, and only then fold it into the build. The original quote stays intact for everything already agreed.

Rough ranges

What WordPress work typically costs here

Real numbers so you can tell whether to keep reading. Every job gets a firm quote after scoping; these are the ranges most Tampa Bay jobs land in.

$1,500 – $6,000

Custom plugin

One well-defined job at the low end — a form that writes to your CRM. A multi-screen admin tool with a third-party API and reporting at the high end.

$4,000 – $12,000

Custom WordPress site

A hand-built theme on the block editor, content migrated, staff trained. Page count and how much needs to be editable move the number.

$8,000 – $25,000

WooCommerce build

Catalog, payments, shipping and pricing rules, plus whatever custom extension your pricing model needs.
