Two Price Tags, One Developer

People sometimes find both of my business sites and ask why there are two. The answer is that two kinds of people hire me, and they want different things.

cwick.us: a fixed price, fast

Some people want a clear price and a fast start. They do not want a long talk about scope. For them I run cwick.us.

On cwick.us, the prices are fixed and start at $100. You fill in the intake, and the site is built the same day the intake is complete. It covers booking systems, member portals, CRMs and business sites. You know the price before you start, and so do I.

sbarron.com: custom work and white label

Other people need something built around how their business really works, or they run an agency and sell sites to their own clients. For them I run sbarron.com.

Agencies use it to hire me for white label work. I build the site or the app, and the agency delivers it under its own name. Businesses use it for custom builds, hosting and domains. Every job gets a fixed price in writing before the work starts.

The same person behind both

Both sites lead to the same place: me, doing the work myself. The difference is the size of the job and how much of it we decide together.

If you are not sure which one fits, start with the one that sounds like you. If I think the other one fits better, I will tell you.
