We want to be as open and transparent about our pricing as possible. So, we’ve put together this short FAQs.
If there’s anything you think we have missed, please send your question to phil@theyardstickagency.co.uk
Yardstick Membership is our newsletter and blogging service.
Members are usually invoiced in the month that the newsletter is sent/due to be sent.
We will generally ask you to sign a contract for any project work.
Our usual terms are to charge 50% at the commencement of a project and 50% on completion.
We invoice for ad hoc work in the month after it has been completed. The invoice will usually be sent to you in the first few days of the month.
Ad hoc work is based on the time it takes to complete. This approach means our clients only pay for the work completed (which is not always the case with retainers) and we get paid for our efforts.
By bank transfer.
