Business Rates

On-Site
For working in a client’s offices I charge per day or half day. Ludshott Computing Services defines these terms as follows:

A full day is 7.5 hours 9am – 5pm with 30 mins for lunch.

A half day is 3.5 hours 9am – 12.30pm or 2pm to 5.30pm

There is a minimum of 1/2 day charge and the actual start/end times may vary to suit the client’s office hours and culture.

Off-Site

These days most website and application development work can be done off-site from Ludshott Computing’s Office after initial meeting to discuss requirements. The rates charged for such offsite work are always less than for on-site work. Free software can be installed to allow secure remote support work to be done via the internet at the customer’s request.

When working on a client’s site (on-site), a suitable PC with development software will need to be supplied for use by Ludshott Computing Services’ staff. This is not the case for Off-site work because we have an existing infrastructure that supports development and code management servers.
