How to read this page

Pricing terms and boundaries

Clear pricing is useful only when the scope, assumptions and exclusions are equally clear.

What published prices mean

“From” means the lowest normal price for a clearly defined standard scope. Final pricing depends on the current system, confirmed requirements, risk and delivery expectations.

  • A written quotation is provided before work begins.
  • Third-party fees, hosting, domains, licences and subscriptions are separate unless included in writing.
  • AI model, API and payment-gateway usage charges are separate.
  • SST is added only if applicable.
  • Large projects may be divided into paid phases or milestones.

International pricing policy

International projects are quoted under a separate commercial rate beginning at three times the published Malaysian rate. This is a minimum starting position, not a promise that every international scope will cost exactly three times the Malaysian price.

  • The final quotation may be issued in USD, GBP, SGD, AUD or another agreed currency.
  • The quotation controls the final currency, amount, deliverables and payment schedule.
  • Cross-border payment costs, withholding taxes or client-side banking charges are not absorbed unless agreed in writing.
  • More demanding security, legal, compliance, documentation or support requirements are priced separately.

Not automatically included

  • Unlimited revisions or unlimited support
  • Complete copywriting or professional photography
  • Paid stock images, themes, plugins or software
  • Advertising budgets or campaign media spend
  • Large-scale data entry or major content migration
  • Emergency work outside the agreed arrangement
  • New features requested after scope approval
  • Recovery of an already compromised website
  • Legal or regulatory compliance certification

Payment and project protection

  • Work begins only after the quotation and required initial payment are accepted.
  • Milestone payments may be required for larger projects.
  • Work outside the approved scope is estimated before implementation.
  • Project timelines depend on timely access, content, feedback and approvals from the client.
  • Deposits, discovery work and completed milestones are generally non-refundable once work has begun.
Frequently asked questions

Service pricing FAQs

These answers prevent common misunderstandings before a quotation is prepared.

Why do some services show “From” prices?

Custom work varies according to scope, users, integrations, content, risk, current system condition and delivery expectations. The starting price is a useful budget guide, not a fixed quotation for every project.

Why is the international rate higher?

International work is offered under a separate commercial rate and market position. It may also involve cross-border contracting, payment costs, time-zone coordination, more formal documentation, different support expectations and additional commercial risk. The international starting rate is therefore set at three times the Malaysian published rate.

Is the international amount simply a currency conversion?

No. It is a separate commercial rate. The RM equivalent shown on this page establishes the minimum pricing basis. The final proposal may use another currency and will state the exact amount and payment terms.

Will I receive a quotation before work begins?

Yes. Requirements, deliverables, exclusions, price, payment schedule and key assumptions are confirmed in writing before implementation begins.

Do I need to pay for the first conversation?

A brief initial conversation to determine basic suitability is free. Detailed investigation, planning, technical diagnosis or written recommendations may require a paid assessment.

Can the price be reduced by reducing the scope?

Where practical, yes. A project can be divided into phases or limited to the most important requirements first. Reducing price without reducing scope, risk or delivery responsibility is usually not realistic.

Do you offer payment plans?

Larger projects may use milestone payments. The payment schedule will be stated in the written proposal.

Can you guarantee SEO rankings or AI accuracy?

No. Search rankings depend on many external factors. AI output also requires testing and may require human review. Any person promising guaranteed rankings or perfectly accurate AI output is making a claim they cannot fully control.

Can you maintain a website that you did not build?

Yes, but it must first be reviewed to understand its condition, hosting, plugins, code, security and existing problems.

Are revisions unlimited?

No. Included revision rounds or support limits are stated clearly. Additional revisions and new requirements are assessed separately.
