Why one person beats an agency.

No telephone game

You talk to the person writing the code. Nothing gets lost between a salesperson, a project manager and a developer who never spoke to you.

No junior swap

Agencies win work with seniors and staff it with juniors. Here the person you met is the person building it, because there is nobody else.

Fixed and published prices

The rates are on this site. You get one number in writing before anything starts, and you own the code and accounts from day one.
