Hourly Rates
The following should give you an idea of what we’re looking at should we work together on an hourly basis:
| Hours | Hourly Rates* |
| 1+ | $95 |
| 10+ | $75 |
| 40+ | $65 |
* Retainer agreements are available at even more favorable rates for a minimum engagement of ten (10) hours per month for a three-month period. Please inquire.
How can I benefit from the Hourly Rate?
Say you need training on using your WordPress website, social media, or just want to “pick my brain”, explore how I can help; but you do not have an explicit scope of work; we can get together and:
- asses where your business is regarding branding and online marketing
- create goals, and strategize how to get there
- audit your website’s current SEO situation
- explore social media tactics and options
- discuss e-commerce strategies and tactics
- learn the inner workings of WordPress, or your social media
- We can go for as little as an hour, or work together for a week, you decide.
What if I want a better deal on a custom solution?
If that’s the case, then we’re both probably better off working on your project for a flat fee, with continued support after delivery based on the chart above.
* Computer Repair and Maintenance Services have a $45/hr rate with a minimum of $2hrs.

Bytes+Beans Payment Plan:
Helping Entrepreneurs, Micro, and Small Business
My mission is to help you succeed your online presence or IT Support project. In order to successfully have an online presence or run a specific IT project, you need to invest some money. But the reality for many businesses your size is that you just don’t have a budget for this. It would be real sad if you didn’t couldn’t have an online presence or carry out that big IT project, because of a few hundred dollars. Here’s how I help you deal with that:
The Plan
This is the simplest payment plan ever. We’ll look at your total fees, divide that number into payments you can comfortably make, and that’s that.
Only three conditions apply:
Payment must be at least $250.
Payments cannot extend for more than four months.
Payments must be automatic, through Paypal (don’t worry, I’ll take care of setting that up).
That’s it.
No interest.
No application form, credit check, whatever.
For you, this means no reason not to get a professional online presence or expand your IT needs!
