What will happen?
After you’ve got in touch, how will things unfold? What can you expect to get back from me when I’ve completed a job for you? This guide has the answers.
How much will it cost?
I usually give a fixed quote for a fixed piece of work, but I can quote an hourly rate instead if it would work better – for example, if I’m going to do a series of small jobs for you each month.

Payments
Unless we agree otherwise, I’ll send you an invoice after completing the work, and payment will then be due within 30 days. For large jobs, I might ask you to pay part of the fee in advance, and possibly ask you for intermediate payments.
For fees in British pounds, my preferred method is direct bank transfer, but I can also accept payment via PayPal or cheque if necessary. For other currencies, I have an account with Wise, which allows you to make online payments easily with low-cost currency exchange. All the details that you’ll need will be included in the invoice.
