BASIC RATES

• Contact us for an estimate on your specific job.  Rates are typically based on an hourly labor rate of $59 per hour with discounting for larger projects and packaged solutions.

PRICE ESTIMATING GUIDELINES

Basically, we strive to settle on a fair price for any given job. Such things as hours of labor expended vs. actual lines of code produced and time spent debugging the code are all taken into consideration and can affect the final cost to the customer. Fairness and customer satisfaction is our main goal.

In many cases we may already have "canned" solutions on the shelf that could be slightly modified to accommodate your specific needs. This would tend to drastically reduce what you might have anticipated the cost to be by simply judging costs per our hourly rate. Please do not hesitate to submit a request for an estimate on your specific job, because it might be cheaper than you think!

DELIVERY TIME

Delivery time is estimated on a per job basis and would be best determined at the time we present your initial cost estimate.

If electronic means are used to successfully communicate everything including your initial problem, cost estimate, and agreement for a final solution, then we may be able to deliver your custom macro or custom program within hours. Please don't hesitate to ask if quick delivery time is required for your specific needs!

HOW TO GET STARTED

Do you have a specific problem in mind but you don't have the slightest idea how to solve it?  If you are thinking that a custom macro or custom program might do the trick, then just describe the problem or pose it as a question. Send it to us via Email, U.S. Mail or Fax and we will respond with a recommended solution and rough cost estimate for your job.

If you already have a good idea of what you want your custom macro or custom program to do, briefly prepare a description, or flow chart or drawing that would help to communicate your idea. Once you have that, you can send it via Email , U.S. Mail or Fax and we can respond with a more accurate cost estimate for your job.
