SLIDING-SCALE DESIGN SERVICES

PAY-WHAT-YOU-CAN MODEL

All of my services are offered on a 40% sliding scale. This means that you can opt to pay up to 40% less or up to 40% more than my regular rate for any service.

REGULAR RATE:

The normal rate I charge for services. Always lower than industry standards.

DISCOUNTED RATE:

Up to 40% off the regular rate. No questions asked, no justifications necessary.

PAY-IT-FORWARD RATE:

Up to 40% more than the regular rate. Helps supplement discounted services purchased by others.

PAYMENT PLANS:

I’m happy to set up a plan for you to pay in smaller instalments if necessary. This can be as flexible as you need it to be. There will never be any interest rates or additional fees.
