What does manual work cost you?
Set the sliders to match your business. The estimate updates as you move them.
An estimate from the numbers you enter, not a promise of results. The starting values are only an example.

- 173
- working days of eight hours
- 22
- what that time is worth each year
- $6,933
How it works
Five steps, all in writing.
There are no sales calls. Writing keeps every decision on record, so nothing gets lost between what you asked for and what you get.
Send a brief
Tell me the problem, the tools you use today and your deadline. The form below writes the brief for you.
Get a fixed quote
I reply with the scope, the delivery date and one fixed price in EUR or USD. If something is unclear, I ask in writing.
Pay upfront
Work starts once the payment arrives. If the delivery does not do what the quote says, you get your money back.
Watch it work
I build and test it, then send you a screen recording of the test with your own data or a sample.
Take it over
You get the handover guide and full ownership of every account, file and line of code.
What you can count on
- Ownership
- Accounts are created in your name or you invite me. I never ask for your passwords.
- Honest scope
- I say no to work I cannot do well, and I never promise search rankings.
- One person
- The person who quotes is the person who builds. Nothing is passed on.
- Tested
- Nothing is called finished until it has been tested and you have seen the test.
Guarantee
Fixed price. Your money back if it does not work.
You pay once, upfront, a price agreed in writing. If what I deliver does not do what the quote says and I cannot fix it, I refund you in full. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do we need a call?
No. Everything happens by e-mail or WhatsApp. A written brief and a written quote leave less room for misunderstanding than a call, and you can answer whenever suits you.
How much does it cost?
Each project gets one fixed price in EUR or USD, quoted after I read your brief. The price does not change unless you change the scope.
How do I pay?
Upfront, by the method given in the quote. If the delivery does not do what the quote describes and I cannot fix it, you get a refund.
Who owns the result?
You do. Accounts are yours, the code and files are yours, and the handover guide tells you how everything works.
Will you need my passwords?
No. You invite me as a collaborator wherever the platform allows it, and remove me when the work is done.
How long does it take?
The delivery date is in the quote, set by the scope. Small automations are usually the quickest.
Which data do you not handle?
Health data and other sensitive personal data. For reports, I work with anonymised data only.
Which languages do you work in?
I write to you in English or Portuguese. Websites can be built in any language you supply the text for.

Tell me what needs fixing.
Fill in what you can. The button opens your own e-mail app or WhatsApp with the brief written out, so you can read it before sending. Nothing is sent from this page.
What happens next
I read your brief and reply in writing, with questions if anything is unclear.
You get a fixed quote: the scope, the delivery date and one price in EUR or USD.
Nothing is owed until you accept the quote. If the work is not a fit, I say so.
