Ship less, properly
I find the smallest version that still solves the problem and cut the rest into a phase two. Nothing gets half-built — the surface shrinks, the quality does not.
Pick one on the left — scope, timeline, price and delivery plan reconfigure together. Everything below the fold is the same information, arranged for skimming.
End-to-end build of a working product. Next.js, TypeScript, a real database, real payments, deployed to your infrastructure. You get the repo, the docs, and a walkthrough — not a demo that dies on my laptop.
| ENGAGEMENT | FROM | TIMELINE | MODEL | BEST WHEN |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01MVP Development | from $6,000 | 4–8 weeks | fixed scope | You need a real product in front of users this quarter |
| 02Design + Frontend Build | from $3,500 | 2–4 weeks | fixed scope | You have the backend, or you just need the surface |
| 03Custom Integration | from $2,500 | 1–3 weeks | fixed scope | A third-party service needs to work with your stack |
| 04Payments Integration | from $2,200 | 1–3 weeks | fixed scope | You need to take money — reliably, in more than one currency |
| 05FieldCraft / PayKit Setup | from $1,800 | 3–10 days | fixed scope | You want FieldCraft or PayKit running without reading the docs |
| 06Architecture Review | $1,200 flat | 5 days | flat fee | Something is slow, fragile, or about to be rewritten |
| 07Migration / Modernisation | from $4,000 | 3–6 weeks | fixed scope | The stack is holding the team back |
| 08Ongoing Retainer | from $2,800/mo | monthly | retainer | You need continuous delivery without a full-time hire |
| 09Fractional CTO | from $4,500/mo | monthly | retainer | You are hiring, raising, or making stack bets |
Tell me the budget you actually have in the first message. One of these usually closes the gap — and if none of them do, I will say so plainly and point you at someone whose rates fit.

Split the engagement into milestones with an invoice on each one. You approve and pay per phase, and you can stop after any of them without owing the rest.
Founding-client rate on the first five projects, in exchange for a public case study, a named testimonial, and permission to show the work.
I ask the questions that decide the architecture, then write the scope down so nobody guesses later.
Claude, Cursor and Copilot accelerate the typing while I own the structure and the edge cases.
