How Payment Works

1

You Receive a Custom Quote

After our discovery call, we send you a detailed written quote outlining the scope, deliverables, timeline, and total investment.

2

You Approve the Quote

Once you approve the quote (either as-is or after any negotiated changes), we prepare your invoice.

3

We Send a Secure Payment Invoice

You'll receive an email with a secure payment link. This link takes you to a payment page where you can pay by card or view bank transfer instructions.

4

Payment Confirmation

After successful payment, you'll receive an immediate receipt via email. We'll also confirm payment and provide a project start date (typically the same day or next business day).

5

Work Begins

We begin work immediately after payment confirmation, or within 1 business day.
