Mr. WPress

Gather their ideas and goals and come up with a thorough and well thought-out scope for the project.  Break the project into sections for completion by date.  At the end of each completion period payment is due for that work.

The owner of the company, Chuck, has more than 15 years of continuous, hands-on experience.  Working on various projects from government contracts to B2B down the line to end user platforms and start ups.  We understand the industry and continue to evolve with it over time.

We charge $90/hr. for web development and $60/hr. for content writing and SEO.  We give discounts for early payments on invoices as well as for referrals.  If you refer someone to us we will credit your account 10% of their initial bill.  So if they spend $1000 there first bill, $100 goes toward your next bill.  No limits on referrals.  For early invoices, if you pay within 4 business days, we take 5% off the next invoice.  This is a good way to constantly keep your cost down each month.

As a younger man Chuck began his journey of web development and software engineering with a media company in Boulder, CO called "The BeyeNetwork".  After a few years there he spent various time in contractor roles throughout Denver and along the front range.  In 2013, Chuck started Mr. WPress and is very proud of it's success.

Customers of all types.  From mom and pop owners to big dollar online stores bringing in several hundred thousand dollars annually.

I liked building stlheronetwork.com which is a network of "heros" (firefighters, medics, army and military, etc) that offer services in their community.  This is a membership driven platform.  A lot like this website where people can search for a pro.  Except these pros have prior civil service.

Developers are hard to come by.  There are a lot of "fakes" out there.  Or what we call "power users" that put technologies together.  At Mr. WPress you will get none of that.  We author our own code, never outsource, and can extend any framework to meet your needs.

What is their budget.  Regardless if they want to come out and say it out to the developer, they need to know what their limits are.  This helps to plan phases and aspects of the project that can be left out for phase one.  Projects are usually classified as MVP (minimum viable product) and then build off of that.  We will discuss what your short term and long term goals are so we can make sure that your solution will be scalable as you grow.  So thinking about what is important and necessary here and now, what you want to do as a bigger picture, and the steps you envision taking to get there over time are helpful things to have in mind before consulting a programmer.  Especially on big builds.  Lastly, be prepared to make a project scope.  Most developers will charge 10% of the expected project cost to draw this up.  This scope is your "blueprint" and should be done in such a way you could take it to ANY developer and get a quote on it.  A good scope will keep your project on track and out of the "weeds".
