Transparent time tracking.
We believe a job is done well when there is open communication with the client, and to that end, we provide very clear and transparent time tracking. If we're working on a casual task for you, we will send through regular communication so that you know how the work is progressing.
Automatic Daily Updates.
Along with regular communication as needed from the designer or developer working on your project, each day we send through an automatic email that outlines any work carried out for you the previous day. This email outlines the tasks worked on, how long the work took, as well as how much time has been used during the current month.
Detailed Hours Breakdown.
Twice a month - once at mid-month and again at the end-of-month (or at the end of a Time Block, whichever comes first), we also send through a detailed report that shows all of the time tracked during that period. These reports go in to greater detail, showing start and stop times, any non-billable time tracked, who worked on the tasks etc.
We find that our clients really appreciate this level of openness and transparency. If you've ever worked with a digital agency before and received what feels like a random invoice for 12 hours for "Website Updates" with no detail or explanation - you are going to love the way we work!
Casual Rates & Time Blocks
Questions & Answers.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Casual rates are just that - casual. You can come to us at any time and schedule work to be done. Our time can be bought in pre-paid time blocks to avoid delays and to receive discounted rates.
What can time blocks be used for?
Small, casual or on-going tasks such as design work, web development, support, back-end maintenance, security updates (like WP Core and Plugin updates), speed optimisation and content management.
How long do the time blocks last?
2 Years. The hours in the time blocks last for 2 years, or until they have been used up. We track our time and report on the time used, so you always know how long you have left.
Do the time blocks auto-renew?
No. We will advise you when a time block has expired, and give you the option to buy more time if needed.
Are time blocks paid in advance?
Yes. You can buy online (click the buttons above) or we can invoice you in advance for your preferred time block. Once payment has been received, we can start work on any tasks you require.
Can I get a refund of un-used time (in a time block)?
Yes. If you want a refund of un-used time, we simply work out the hours used in that block to determine the rate you should be paying, and refund the difference. For example, you paid for a 40 Hour block (at $5,000 - $125/hour) but only used 10 hours and would like to refund the un-used time. So you would pay $1,400 ($140/hour x 10 hours) for the time spent and receive a refund of $3,600.
Does the size of client effect the rate?
We aim to give all of our clients the same excellent service, regardless of size. Whether your business is a 1 person operation or a 1,000 person team, or is the smallest or largest brand in your market, our expertise, service level, rates and pricing remain the same.
