More than a brochure, a web presence is about having daily operations accessible from anywhere you need them to be. A website becomes part of a system that helps get your organization and its projects back on track and running smoothly. Contact us with your project specifics.
Dekka operates an open organization to accommodate smaller budgets and informal projects. Use Dekka services on an as needed informal basis, or as a full service contract provider. Individual services are more affordable, because they do not carry the level of formal, contractual commitment of resources etc. that are customary with organizational level deployment.
- Standard labor rate varies, see rate chart
- Rush rate (within 24 hours) is at double the standard rate.
- Top priority (deliverable within 12 hours) is at triple the standard rate.
- Special equipment, communication charges etc. are billed at cost.
Dekka adjusts rates using a sliding scale on a case by case basis, such as for charitable causes or as a part of establishing good will.
Regular maintenance fees often include the following options:
- hosting fees
- backups
- live customer support
- ongoing technology upgrades or design adjustments (planned for)
- expert consultation
Billable Hours and Expenditures
Time that is spent actively processing tasks specifically related to the project is billable, including handling communication, documentation, production, specialized equipment, professional research, office expenses and other expenses directly attributable to the project.
Software development, research, equipment, communication, and time not directly attributable to the project are not billed to client.
Large projects may require retainer. Extended projects and scheduled, periodic labor billed at significantly reduced rates.
Donations toward Dekka hosted open source projects are only spent on direct project costs, such as acquiring needed assets or paying for external expert labor (such as donations to other open source project that this one depends on).
