A reply inside a day
Usually the same evening. If we are not the right fit for what you described, we will say so in that first reply rather than booking a call to say it slowly.
Tell us what you are trying to build
A rough idea is enough to start. We will ask the two or three questions that actually change the estimate, then come back with a scope and a number.
What to expect
Free technical read
An honest opinion on whether the thing you are asking for is the thing that will fix your problem — including when the answer is a spreadsheet and a cron job.
A number, in writing
Scope, timeline and cost before anyone commits. No hourly surprises, no change-request theatre for things that were obviously in scope.
