Rates and Fees


Fees:

Large Projects are costed on a Time and Materials basis using current industry contract rates for the required skill levels of the specific project. for example a simple static 5 page web site is a junior web developer task and would have a rate of £7 per hour. Where as an interactive data driven flash application/game requires a senior web/database developer with multiple disciplines and would have a rate up to £350 per day. A desktop business application developer starts at £250 per day rising to senior developers with specific business knowledge (i.e. derivatives trading £750 per day).

Our developers are experienced C#/Java and SQL contractors with day rates between £300 to £500 for short projects.
