Pricing

I keep pricing simple, predictable, and human. No subscriptions, no retainers, no surprise charges — just clear, task‑based pricing and honest communication from the start.

What Most People Pay

Most one‑time tasks fall in the $25–$100 range, depending on complexity. Larger or more involved projects may cost more, but I’ll always give you a clear quote before any work begins.

You only pay after the work is complete. It’s a little risky for me, but I prefer it — it keeps things honest, and it means you never pay for something I can’t fix.

What’s Included

Here are the kinds of things that typically fall within that $25–$100 range:

  • Fixing issues within your Windows-based software
  • Troubleshooting browser‑based tools
  • Updating or configuring software
  • Cleaning up settings or preferences
  • Helping you understand how something works
  • Small website or WordPress tasks
  • Light content edits or formatting
  • Quick research or “can you figure this out for me?” requests
  • Simple Salesforce user maintenance (adding a new user or updating an existing user)

More advanced Salesforce work is quoted separately.

If it happens on your Windows computer or inside the browser on your PC, there’s a good chance I can help.

What Affects the Final Cost

Every task is a little different, but pricing is usually based on:

  • How complex the issue is
  • How many steps are involved
  • Whether I need to log in to multiple accounts
  • Whether research or testing is required
  • Whether the task expands once we dig in

You’ll always get a clear quote before anything starts — no surprises.

Turnaround Time

Turnaround time varies depending on the task, but I’ll include an estimated timeframe in your quote so you know exactly what to expect.
