Think first,build second.

€37.50 an hour, and the first conversation is free. Sometimes the outcome is that you shouldn’t order anything from us at all — we’ll say so, and the hour will still have been worth it.

What we help with

  • Build it or buy something ready-made — which works out cheaper in your case?
  • Making sense of somebody else’s quote before you sign it
  • Cutting a project down until it fits a particular budget
  • Judging what an existing system is worth before anyone builds on top of it
  • GDPR in daily practice: what’s genuinely required and what’s scaremongering
  • Digital grants — which ones are worth applying for and which aren’t worth the paperwork

How the first conversation goes

An hour, by phone, by video, or in person at our office. You describe what’s coming up, we ask questions, and at the end we tell you what we make of it. Afterwards you get a short written summary — yours to keep, even if you never hear from us again.

This isn’t a sales call under another name. We have plenty of work; talking somebody into something they don’t need costs us more time later than it brings in.

What it costs

First conversation, up to an hourfree
Consulting by the hour€37.50/hour
Written assessment with a recommendationfrom €225
Reviewing somebody else’s quotefrom €125

If the consulting turns into a project, we credit the first three hours against it. Nobody should hesitate to ask because asking costs money.

Who this is for

Small firms, trades, practices, clubs, restaurants and sole traders — anyone without somebody in-house whose job this is. If you have an IT department, you probably don’t need us for this part.

Common questions

Is the first conversation really free?

Yes, up to an hour, with no conditions and nothing you have to order afterwards. You get a short written summary to keep.

What does consulting cost after that?

€37.50 for every hour started. A written assessment with a recommendation costs from €225, and reviewing somebody else’s quote from €125.

Will you advise me even if I build elsewhere?

Yes — it happens, and it’s fine. We write the assessment so another contractor can work straight from it.

Can you review a quote I’ve already been given?

Yes, that’s one of the most common things we’re asked. We’ll tell you whether the price matches the scope, what’s missing from the quote, and which questions to ask before you sign.

Do you credit consulting against a later project?

The first three hours, yes. Anything beyond that stays separate.
