Let me know what it is you are interested in. I will get back to you with some ideas of how we could approach your work and what it might cost. All quotes are free and you're under no obligation to go any further.</p> 76<p>Most work is usually priced by the hour or day, but I can work to fixed or capped prices too. I am flexible enough to work within your budget, whatever it is. </p> 77<p> </p> 78<h3>Benefits I can offer you as a freelancer</h3> 79<p lang="en-GB"><strong>Value: My 80 lower overheads mean more for your money</strong></p> 81<p lang="en-GB">I 82 work from home with no office rent or administrative staff to pay. These savings enable me to compete more efficiently and to 83 consistently offer more value for money. You also don't pay any VAT (sales tax) because I am below the tax threshold. 84 <br /><br /></p> 85<p lang="en-GB"><strong>Centralisation: You 86 work directly with just one person who understands the whole 87 project</strong></p> 88<p lang="en-GB">You 89 will have just one point of contact for the whole project â me. No time and money is wasted through company communications and 90 mis-communications. You get to deal one-on-one with the actual 91 person doing the work and I respond to your wishes directly. 92 <br /><br /></p> 93<p lang="en-GB"><strong>Advice: You 94 can use me as an independent consultant</strong></p> 95<p lang="en-GB">You 96 will get the benefit of my ten years experience in I.T. I am able 97 to advise on any issue you require. I have no secondary products to 98 push or hidden agendas. You will always get unbiased, helpful 99 advice, wherever I am able to offer it. 100 <br /><br /></p> 101<p lang="en-GB"><strong>Flexibility: I 102 can be more flexible for you</strong></p> 103<p lang="en-GB">With 104 no corporate rules, targets to meet or bosses to please, I can 105 afford to be completely flexible in my approach to your work. 106 Anything and everything can be up for negotiation and I will always 107 do my best to accommodate your needs.<br /><br /></p> 108<p lang="en-GB"><strong>Service: Your 109 satisfaction is my reputation and livelihood</strong></p> 110<p lang="en-GB">Every 111 piece of work I do reflects my reputation as a developer and in a 112 very real sense my future livelihood. I really enjoy my work and want you to too. </p> 113<p lang="en-GB"> </p> 114<h3>How I look after my clients</h3> 115<p>
115I work swiftly and efficiently and always bill my time honestly. I 116only charge you for actual minutes spent programming at my PC. You 117 don't pay for my time spent on research, discussing the project, phone 118calls, emails, invoicing, hunting for files or tea breaks! </p> 119<p>I look after all my clients very well, always taking the time to 120understand their needs and discuss options. I often help past clients 121for free when they come back with tech support questions or problems.</p> 122<p>My experience in programming, sys-admin and the Web means I can complete work in much less time that it might take someone 123less experienced (and still do a better job!) It's all about 124knowing exactly where to go to address a particular issue. You shouldn't 125 ever be paying someone for trial-and-error. When comparing me with 126other contractors, please consider the full cost not just hourly rates - 127 cheap isn't always cheaper!</p> 128<p> </p> 129<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">To proceed with an enquiry about hiring me, please visit my <a href="contact.html">contact page</a> and request that I call or email you.</span></p> 130 131 132 133</div> 134 135 </div> 136 137 </div> 138 </main> 139 140 141 <aside id="right"> 142 <div class="inside"> 143 144<div id='socialicons'> 145<a href='http://twitter.com/hgrichardson'><img src='/files/sqtl/siteimg/bubble1.png' class='pad' alt='Twitter' title='My Twitter feed'/></a> 146<a href='http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=11838847'><img src='/files/sqtl/siteimg/bubble2.png' class='pad' alt='Linked In' title='My LinkedIn profile'/></a> 147<a href='/blog.html'><img src='/files/sqtl/siteimg/bubble3.png' class='pad' alt='Blog' title='My blog'/></a> 148<a href='contact.html'><img src='/files/sqtl/siteimg/bubble4.png' alt='Email me' title='Contact me by email'/></a> 149</div> 150 151 <div class="mod_article block" id="article-37"> 152 153 154<div class="ce_text block"> 155 156 157 158 <h2><a href="blog.html">Recent blog posts</a></h2> 159 160 161 162</div> 163 164<!-- indexer::stop --> 165<div class="mod_newslist block"> 166 167 168 169 170<div class="layout_simple block first even"> 171Registering a Kindle DX with Amazon in 2023 - UK edition <a href="blog-article/registering-a-kindle-dx-with-amazon-in-2023-uk-edition.html" title="Read the article: Registering a Kindle DX with Amazon in 2023 - UK edition">Read more â¦<span class="invisible"> Registering a Kindle DX with Amazon in 2023 - UK edition</span></a></div> 172 173<div class="layout_simple block odd"> 174Using Adblock Plus to stop Youtube "Breaking News" <a href="blog-article/using-adblock-plus-to-stop-youtube-breaking-news.html" title="Read the article: Using Adblock Plus to stop Youtube "Breaking News"">Read more â¦<span class="invisible"> Using Adblock Plus to stop Youtube "Breaking News"</span></a></div> 175 176<div class="layout_simple block even"> 177The dual-boot bug which causes Windows to go unresponsive <a href="blog-article/the-dual-boot-bug-which-causes-windows-to-go-unresponsive.html" title="Read the article: The dual-boot bug which causes Windows to go unresponsive">Read more â¦<span class="invisible"> The dual-boot bug which causes Windows to go unresponsive</span></a></div> 178 179<div class="layout_simple block odd"> 180Flexible CSS grids with dynamic numbers of columns and minimum column widths <a href="blog-article/flexible-css-grids-with-dynamic-numbers-of-columns-and-minimum-column-widths.html" title="Read the article: Flexible CSS grids with dynamic numbers of columns and minimum column widths">Read more â¦<span class="invisible"> Flexible CSS grids with dynamic numbers of columns and minimum column widths</span></a></div> 181 182<div class="layout_simple block last even"> 183Resurrecting a water-damaged Sansa Clip+ MP3 player <a href="blog-article/resurrecting-a-water-damaged-sansa-clip.html" title="Read the article: Resurrecting a water-damaged Sansa Clip+ MP3 player">Read more â¦<span class="invisible"> Resurrecting a water-damaged Sansa Clip+ MP3 player</span></a></div> 184 185 186</div> 187<!-- indexer::continue --> 188 189 </div> 190 191 192 193 <div class="mod_article block" id="article-36"> 194 195 196<div id="twitter_div"> 197<h2 class="sidebar-title">Twitter Updates</h2> 198<ul id="twitter_update_list"><li /></ul> 199<a href="//twitter.com/hgrichardson" id="twitter-link" style="display:block;text-align:right;">Follow me on Twitter »</a> 200</div>
