We’ve set our hourly rate at $65 USD. We have packages where you can retain our services with a discounted monthly rate. For instance, for $200 USD/month you can have up to four hours of our services for research, integration, and so on. That’s a discount of 20% over the flat rate. Contact us for more information.

We send out our invoices on the 1st of every month with payment needed by the 5th. Special arrangements can be made for different payment terms.

We accept cash, bank transfer to our Bank of America account, PayPal, debit cards, and credit cards. All payments are billed in USD.

Obviously we want to retain you as a customer. When your project is completed we turn over to you all credentials so that you can maintain the site yourself or hire someone else. We would never hold you ‘over a barrel’ with something. If we have used our own subscription for a premium service and/or plug-in then support would end. You would need to purchase your own license for the premium service and/or plug-in. We can help with that. We do have a competitively priced maintenance and security plan that is designed to economically keep your site secure and up-to-date. We highly recommend you consider our maintenance and security plan to maximize your investment in your website.

Another great question. The best answer is in the words “value,” “integrity,” and “experience.” Value: Our founder has over 45 years of experience with projects small and large, local and international. That experience is brought to bear on your project and provides you with an unparalleled depth of technical and business experience. That’s real value. Integrity: No sharp business practices here. We strive to be honest and loyal and legal. Our reputation is of great concern. If you want to do something with your project that we don’t know how to do or have experience in, we’ll tell you that straight up. If you want we can help you find another professional that has experience in what you want to do. It’s your choice and we will tell you if we are a good fit for your project. Isn’t that how you want to be treated? We want to treat you the way you would like to be treated. Experience: Silver Lake Development Group has been in business since 1984.
