Consulting is for when the problem is your own forum: errors nobody can place, a white screen after an update, slow pages, an upgrade you would rather not do alone.
The rate
$100 an hour, flat. No tiers, no rush fees, no discovery call to sit through first. The rate is fixed; the number of hours is not, so we agree that before anything is billed.
What the hour goes on
- Diagnosis — I find the cause and show you the evidence for it, in writing, not just the word "fixed".
- Performance — slow pages, a database working harder than it should, search that crawls. Measured first, then changed.
- Upgrades and migrations — moving to Flarum 2, moving hosts, or arriving at Flarum from something else, with the extension situation understood before anything moves.
- Custom work — an extension that does not exist yet, a theme that is genuinely yours, or Flarum bent to the way your community actually runs.
Anything Flarum. If it turns out not to be Flarum, I will tell you that too, and working that out costs nothing.
How it goes
- You tell me the problem from the form on the Consulting page. The more detail, the better the estimate — it is what I quote from.
- I look and come back with a number: what I think it is, what I would do, and how many hours that takes.
- You decide. If the number works, you pay for those hours and I start. If it does not, nothing is owed and the estimate is yours to keep.
- I do the work and show it. If it needs more hours than we agreed, I ask before spending them.
Where the conversation happens
If you are signed in, the form opens a support thread you can follow, and I answer you there. If you are not, it comes to me by email. Nothing about your forum is stored on this site either way.
