You will receive a written estimate for services rendered, including a breakdown of the license fees for any paid extensions and any extensions you select for which I have an unlimited license.

Most websites are quoted on a project basis wherever possible, rather than being billed hourly. Consequently, we can set up a payment plan for projects over $750, using automatic recurring billing to your credit card. I accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express, as well as PayPal. I can accept cash payments using Venmo or Zelle. 

I do require a 50% deposit before work begins, and payments are typically billed 30 days apart until payment is complete. Please contact me if you have questions about your bill.

Using Joomla for Your Site

The Joomla software itself is free to download. To that we can add a number of extensions that fill out the website features you need. I also add some critical extensions (such as a firewall) for which I hold an unlimited, annual license, and I include a portion of that license cost as a project fee.

Those critical, paid extensions usually renew annually. You can continue to use my licenses, or you can pay for your own when the renewal comes due. Otherwise, I will bill you annually for a small percentage of the total cost that represents your use of my licenses. Due to the combined cost savings, that annual fee is usually less than $50.

Using Other Platforms and Services

Costs for using other platforms will be calculated in the estimate. Other plaforms may require monthly payments or may offer a discounted annual payment. We can discuss all of these details when we go over the estimate.
