Pricing

A website is only the tip of the iceberg. Most of the value isn't the site itself — it's the integration with everything behind it: production, accounting, logistics, drawings, shipping. That's why I work in a few clear models, so we can pick the one that fits your situation.

Ways to Work Together

Three ready ways in, built on the rates below. Pick the one that fits where you are — or read on for how the pricing works underneath.

One-off

Technical Audit

€100/ hour · fixed quote per scope

A structured review of what you have and a plan for what comes next.

You inherited a codebase, you're weighing a rebuild, or something works but nobody knows how.

  • A written report you keep — architecture, risks, quick wins
  • A prioritised action list with honest effort estimates
  • A call to walk through it and answer questions
2–4 weeks

Project Sprint

€3,200/ week

A scoped chunk of work shipped on a fixed timeline.

You know what needs building and want it done — not managed through a chain of handoffs.

  • Weekly releases — something working every Friday, not one surprise at the end
  • Fixed deadline, flexible scope: features can move, quality never does
  • A direct line to me, no account-manager relay
Retainer

Fractional CTO / IT Partner

from €4,800/ month

Your in-house IT person, without the headcount.

IT stopped being invisible and you need someone who owns it — for the long term.

  • Ongoing development, integrations, and infrastructure
  • Routine IT, site SEO, ad management, and the technical decisions
  • I stay reachable and pick up work as it comes; the price is fixed up front

When to Hire Me — and When Not

Hire Me If…

  • You need one senior person to own web, software, automation and AI end-to-end
  • You're a startup or small business that wants a hands-on technical partner, not a vendor to manage
  • IT stopped being invisible and you need someone who owns it for the long term
  • Your team needs extra senior capacity on the hard parts of a build
  • You want one person who understands the code and the business behind it

Look Elsewhere If…

  • You're hunting for the cheapest freelancer — a student to spin up a WordPress site
  • You already have a full internal engineering department
  • You want pure staff augmentation — a body to fill a seat, with no ownership
  • You're looking for a designer, not a technical partner

I'm an IT partner for your business, not a full-stack developer for hire — the value is in owning the outcome, not billing the hours.

A single feature can be a large piece of work on its own — a chatbot wired into a three-year support history with answers written by a dedicated AI agent trained on the company's own materials is months of work, not an afternoon.

Because real projects grow piece by piece, a single fixed number rarely fits. Instead, I price by how we work together.

How I Charge

Hourly

€100/ hour

Small, well-defined tasks.

A fix, a small feature, a focused piece of work. Minimum booking is 4 hours.

Weekly

€3,200/ week

A clearly scoped chunk of work.

Past roughly four days of work in a single week, the weekly rate is the better deal — and the week stays capped there.

Monthly

from €4,800/ month

Like having your own in-house IT person.

For longer engagements that stretch over time but don't need a full working day — I stay reachable and pick up tasks as they come. Usually includes site SEO, ad management, routine IT, and meetings. Price is fixed up front, then the work simply proceeds.

Project

Custom

A large project with a defined scope.

For bigger, longer work that can be scoped clearly. Always priced individually — I write a technical specification of the work and goals before we start.

Prices are VAT 0%. VAT of 25.5% is added where applicable. For B2B clients outside Finland, EU reverse charge applies (VAT 0%).

How Larger Projects Run

For project work I keep a simple discipline: I promise the result will be ready on the date and will solve the problem — even if the exact solution ends up different from the first idea.

Fixed deadline

The launch date is set and it doesn't move. We plan the work week by week, from start to launch.

Flexible scope

If something can't fit the deadline, we drop or defer features — we never compromise the quality of what does ship.

Weekly releases

Every week ends with something working, not a single surprise at the end. You see real progress from week one.

Billing

Invoiced monthly

One invoice on the 1st of each month for the work done.

VAT

Prices are VAT 0%; 25.5% VAT added where applicable. VAT ID FI29845875.

EU reverse charge

VAT 0% for B2B clients outside Finland.

Registered business

I operate as a Finnish toiminimi — proper contracts, NDAs, and invoicing.

Packaged Services

A few things are scoped tightly enough to carry a price up front — either a single fixed fee or a floor you can plan against, separate from the models above.

Technical Consultation

€200

Send your problem in writing; I prepare and deliver concrete advice the next day.

Technical SEO/GEO Audit

€800

A written report on why your site isn't showing up in Google or in AI answers — technical SEO, schema, indexing, AI-crawler access, and per-market keyword research.

Learn more

SEO/GEO Optimization

€1,600/mo

The work itself, every month — technical fixes, per-market keywords, content and blog, schema, and visibility in AI answers. €800/mo from month 7. No minimum term.

Learn more

Paid Ads Management

€400/mo per channel

Google Ads, Meta and Reddit — €800 for the first month per channel (setup), then the monthly fee. A fixed fee, never a percentage of your ad spend.

Learn more

Telegram Bot

from €1,600

A bot with a real flow, storage, and one integration — orders, bookings, support, or internal lookups. Mini Apps and payments quoted on top.
