How it works.
From the first message to the monthly bill.
-
You message me
Send me a message, ideally with the scope first (that part is optional), so I can prepare for our first call.
-
We talk
A free first call about your team, your goals and the work. After it you get your hourly rate, and it does not change for a year.
-
We check the fit
We talk about responsibilities and goals. If I can honestly deliver and you are ready to move forward, we go ahead.
-
Onboarding
I meet your team and we set up communication and task tracking. You connect me to the codebase, git, servers or whatever I need to do the job.
-
Task by task
You state a need. I give you an estimate of hours and a deadline, we agree it, then I work. Nothing is billed without your approval.
-
A rhythm that fits you
Weekly meetings no matter what, or only when a piece of work is finished. In busy periods, like before a launch, even daily.
-
One invoice a month
All approved tasks of the month on a single invoice.

How I work, and what to watch for in anyone.
Nothing is billed without your approval.
Every task has its hours agreed before the work starts, and you approve them.
-
Approved first
Hours are agreed for every task before work starts. Nothing is billed without your approval.
-
Handover-ready
Everything I build is documented, so anyone can take over the work afterwards.
-
Reachable
You get a direct channel to me, and I answer regularly. More direct than mailing and meeting appointments.
-
Your way of working
I fit your tools, your schedule and your team's rhythm, not the other way around.
Bad practices:
- Surprise bills: hours that grow without you agreeing.
- A developer who is hard to reach.
- A fixed fee for months of nothing.
- Work that nobody else can take over.
My take:
- A good hired developer understands your need and delivers the right solution for your goal.
- Adapts to your existing system, even a messy one, and writes code that works and follows industry standards. New tech stack? I learn it when you need it.
- Builds new things with future use and scale in mind, and copes with both quiet months and short sprints.
FAQ
Is there a monthly minimum or a retainer?
No. You pay for approved hours only. If you prefer a fixed monthly package on agreed hours, that is possible and comes with a price benefit. Anything above the agreed hours is priced regularly.
How much does an hour cost?
I send you your hourly rate on enquiry. Once you have it, it does not change for at least a year.
How do I know what a task will cost?
For every task I give you an estimate of hours and a deadline, and you approve it before I start. Nothing is added to the bill without your approval.
Can you work inside our team?
Yes. I join your tools, meetings and schedule, and I can work as part of your team under your brand if you want.
What kind of work do you take?
Any developer task within my realm: features, fixes, updates, integrations, consulting and meetings.
What if our code is messy?
I adapt to your existing system, even one that does not follow current practices, and I write code that works and follows industry standards.
What if a deadline is unrealistic?
I tell you early, and I do not leave you stuck.
Have you worked this way before?
Yes. Studio Agnis offered this model to its clients, and I worked under it.
Are you open to joining a company?
Yes. I would like a role as part of a bigger team, part-time or full-time, as an employee or a freelancer.
