SO…

'Our only vice is the fantastic prices we charge for being eaten alive.'

How much? Ouch!

Quality is never cheap and this stuff is no exception—so expect it to hurt financially.

Actually, despite the headline, we're not that outrageous and could even be considered surprisingly economical and not at all expensive.

Our regular rates are:

  • $150 hourly.
  • $600 for a six-hour day.
  • $6k for a fifteen-day month.

Initial brief 'what do you think?' conversations in which we deliver a straight 'yes-no-maybe' are always free.

And although we'd rather longer-term association, our time is available in units as small as fifteen minutes.

But don't let the money put you off…

Will we deal on price? Yes, almost always.

But not in a horse-trading way where 'I start with a figure, you counter, and then we agree on something mid-way'. That's fine for used-cars, but not us.

Instead, We'll simply take money out of the equation and suggest 'Pay what you can afford, and are happy with.' (If it helps, we'll work for the same price you charge your clients.)

'Us? Unaffordable?' Pah! Nonsense. The money genuinely isn't that important to us, and we'd rather be accessible to more people.

We can work it out.

Whilst frequently rejecting financially-lucrative gigs because the brief doesn't interest us or involves people with whom we simply don't wish to associate, we've never turned anyone away solely through lack of money.

Often those who can afford our rates have stuff on which we don't want to work, and many people whom we'd like to help can't meet our regular fees.

We therefore cover selected assignments at lower/no cost as a 'give something back, help others' service to those with something on which we choose to work and to whom we'd otherwise be unaffordable.

We're not that desperate for silk stockings and little Dior numbers, so the money shouldn't be an issue. Should the money be a problem for you, tell us. If we warm to what you're doing, we'll work something out.
