To help our clients lower their web development costs, we provide discounts through various partnership programs. The discounts are designed to encourage a symbiotic relationship between Virvo and our clients – helping to establish a long term relationship, while lowering web development costs at the same time.

5% discount on all invoices

We offer a 5% discount on all invoices if you are willing to put a small snippet of code in the footer of your website or application (we are happy to implement the techincal aspect of this). The code will simply provide a link to Virvo, meaning we are recognized for the web development or other work we have provided.
This small token of appreciation from our client, means we gain a tiny bit of marketing, and we are happy to provide a 5% discount on all invoices to show our gratitude. The typical link text will read: Web Development and SEO by Virvo

When a business has a budget allocated for its web application development, then a fixed price quote is often requested for the development work. We often provide a fixed price quote and timeline when asked to deliver a strictly defined project. We calculate the man-hours required to deliver the project and multiply it by our hourly rate to provide you with a fixed price.

This option involves the least amount of risk to your business if you have a well define project scope, and allows you to budget your finances better.

How do we calculate the price?

A fixed price quote is based on multiple factors:

Clarity of Scope

The simple rule is that the more clearly your application requirements are defined, the easier it is for us to provide an accurate price quote and time deadline. However, if the scope and requirements of your application are undefined or still evolving, we have to add a buffer to the pricing, to reduce our risk in case of future surprises.

Size of Project

Larger projects allow us to source greater resources and manage our time and resource allocation better. Every project has some standard overheads which must be addressed. On very small projects, these overheads are proportionally more siginicant, thereby increasing face-value cost.

Project Complexity

Complex projects require a greater involvement of software architects, database administrators and better skilled and experienced resources. Obviously those with greater experience, knowledge and better skills are paid a higher rate, and this cost is accounted for when quoting.

Project Timeline

Project lead time and deadline play an important role in quoting and resource allocation. If the lead time or deadline is short, we may have to re-allocate staff working on other applications, which will mean your project incurs a premium fee.

When addressing your development budget, our standard approach is to provide a quote based on a detailed specification, which takes into account the hours involved and relevant hourly rates; as well as any other costs which may be incurred, such as licensing third-party software.

However, we understand that the financial circumstances of every business or enterprise is different, and we try to remain responsive to these circumstances. We offer a range of budgeting options, including some which allow clients to pay full figures only if we achieve measurable financial results. Whichever option best suits your financial situation, you can be assured of receiving only our highest level of service.

Pricing Options

Reduced initial fees

For developing a proof of concept (POC), a prototype or testing initial functionality, we can often provide a reduced initial fee. Once the project passes the prototype stage, we can provide a full project development quote.

Deferred payment

We can defer part of a payment until your company makes its first sale, achieves a break-even point, or reaches another agreed financial landmark. This is particularly helpful to startups in allowing them to lower the barrier to entry in a particular market.

Fixed monthly budget

If you have a fixed monthly budget for software development expenses, we can adjust our services to suit your cash flow. By establishing a monthly or quarterly retainer, Virvo will allocate resources to meet your company needs, and ensure you receive a discount for advance payment. A retainer ensures that your company is at the top of our priority list, regardless of how many other projects we have.

Share deals

In some circumstances, we can become shareholders in the company or a take percentage of the revenue generated by the project, as a part-payment for development services.

Software leasing

A software lease works just like a hardware lease – Virvo will develop custom software for you under the terms of a standard work agreement. When development is completed, you make monthly payments for the term of the lease. You can then purchase the software for £1 at the end of the lease period. The lease term can be negotiated based on your financial requirements, with the value of the lease depending on your credit rating. Larger projects with several software components can often be financed through multiple leases.

When addressing your web development project, we usually consult with you to collect detailed business requirements and specifications. Using this information we can estimate the hours involved to build the project, provide a price quote, and a delivery deadline. Since a requirement analysis is needed to provide an accurate price quote, we dont list prices on our website – but ask you to contact us with your specific requirements. We are happy to provide you with a free consultation, after which we will supply a price quote.

Transparent Pricing

Many web development companies massively under-quote when initially supplying a project bid – and ramp up the price half way through the project, or add many hidden fees to recoup their costs. We are fully aware of these practices within the industry to try to gain more contracts – we just refuse to subscribe to it!

We believe in being transparent with our customers and forming long-lasting relationships – which is why when you contact Virvo, we will discuss your exact needs, and give you an upfront quote – no hidden costs, and no mid-project price hikes.

In fact, we are so committed to providing our customers with transparent pricing, that we even share how we calculate a price quote.

But how much does it cost?

Many small businesses simply want a rapid quote for a small turnkey website – without having to spend time on requirement analysis. For this reason we provide complete turnkey website packages for smaller websites; and for larger projects, we encourage you to request a free consultation, or consider our flexible pricing options.
