Write me an email
I reply within one working day. This page covers what to put in the first email, what happens next, and which route is quickest when.
This is the primary channel. I reply within one working day, and every reply is mine — there is no support desk and no template answer.
There are fixed package prices, each with what it includes written down:
- A website — from €330 (HUF 120,000). One page €330, up to five pages €530 (HUF 190,000), with parts you edit yourself (news, price list, opening hours) €800 (HUF 290,000).
- Systems. Online payments with invoices €530 (HUF 190,000), a paid Telegram channel €800 (HUF 290,000). For the rest, an itemised individual quote.
- Monthly care — from €45 (HUF 15,000). €45 for a simple site, €70 (HUF 25,000) for WordPress, €100 (HUF 35,000) with payments or bookings, hosting and domain included. I take over existing sites too.
Every package and add-on is on the Prices page. The prices are final: I invoice under the small-business VAT exemption, so no VAT is added. Clients in Hungary pay the forint amount, clients elsewhere in the EU the euro amount. Anything not in the package gets a fixed price in writing first. The first assessment is free: I charge for the work itself.
What to put in the first email
No technical brief is needed, and the solution does not have to be worked out in advance — that is what scoping is for. These four things, in a few sentences, are enough:
- What you want solved. Whatever currently does not work, or is being done by hand — that shows what is needed.
- What already exists. An existing site, a half-built system, a previous developer.
- When it has to be ready. If there is a date that binds you; if there is not, that is also an answer.
- Who I will be working with. Is it your decision, or is there someone else with a say?
If some of them have no answer yet, I will ask about the rest. Scoping is the first stage regardless, and that is usually where half of what matters comes out.
What happens next
I reply and ask questions. Usually one or two exchanges. I do not send a quote first: I would rather understand the job, because a template quote does not address what the actual work is in your case.
We also talk. After the first exchange we usually have a call. This is about trust, not speed: you see who you would be handing your system to, and I understand better what is needed.
I send a quote. Itemised: what I will build, how much work broken down by stage, what is not included, what I need from you and when, and what comes afterwards. The price is fixed for the scope described: if something else is needed along the way, we agree on it separately first. There is a separate piece on what a quote is made of.
If you say no, that is fine. That closes it: I will not follow up. If it becomes relevant later, write — we pick up where we left off.
How the work runs, in eight stages
- 01 Assessment What needs manual work, and what could break.
- 02 Plan What gets built, what connects, what stays out.
- 03 Sign-off on the plan I start building only once you approve.
- 04 Build Separate environment; the live site stays up.
- 05 Testing A real payment, notification and booking.
- 06 Sign-off after testing What you see on the test, we decide together.
- 07 Launch With a backup and a way back.
- 08 Maintenance Updates, backups, monitoring. If something breaks, I start at once.
Why email
Because it keeps the project clearer for both of us. What is in writing can be read back: we are not working from memory, and the work does not rest on improvisation. We hold the same description.
We talk as well — the conversation is part of the engagement, and it usually happens right after the first exchange. The bulk of the work stays in writing, though, because there it can be gone back to.
For a new enquiry, email is the first step. I do not take on urgent work: I am not an emergency service, and if something has just gone down on a site I do not maintain, I cannot step in immediately. The details are on the page about me.
Where, and in what language
I work from Budapest, and I take on work from anywhere within the European Union, remotely. In Hungarian and English — this page has a Hungarian version as well.
Company details, registration number and hosting provider are in the imprint.
Questions on this topic
How quickly do you reply?
Within one working day. Every reply is mine — there is no support desk and no template answer. If the question is involved, the first reply is usually a question back, because a quote requires understanding the job.
What should I put in the first email?
Four things, in a few sentences: what you want solved — whatever currently does not work, or is being done by hand; what already exists (an existing site, a half-built system, a previous developer); when it has to be ready; and who decides on your side. If some of them have no answer yet, I will ask about the rest.
Do we need to meet in person?
Not necessarily, but after the first exchange we usually talk — on a call. This is about trust, not speed: you see who you would be handing your system to, and I understand better what is needed. The bulk of the work stays in email afterwards.
Do you take on urgent work?
No. I am not an emergency service: if something has just gone down on a site I do not maintain, I cannot step in immediately. On the sites I maintain, though, continuous standby and immediate response to faults are part of maintenance, because I know their systems.
Can I contact you from abroad?
Yes, from anywhere within the European Union, remotely — which keeps invoicing simple for both sides. I work in Hungarian and English.
