My name is Zach Nicodemous.

Rates

I currently bill at $130 USD per hour (US Dollars) which reflects over twenty-three years of experience. You can absolutely find developers who charge less than me, however cheaper developers often have less experience which means more time required to achieve the same goals and you often don’t get the most optimized solution. This means that costs often work out to be approximately the same because where it may take a less experienced developer 60 hours to meet your needs, I might be able to achieve the same in half the time.

How to Hire

I can currently be hired via two methods; either directly or via Codeable.  There are pros and cons to each method so read on!

If you hire me directly, I typically require 50% payment up-front and 50% on completion and you’ll have to sign a contract which dictates the scope of agreed work, what happens if you have issues and a few other details. Your work is protected by my standard ninety-day warranty for any bugs or issues. All communication is handled directly via your preferred method. Generally, working with me directly is about 20% cheaper as there are no additional fees involved (except credit card fees when making payment). As a sole proprietor, issues sometimes arise that can affect my availability, even during a project! Whilst rare, it does happen and in those situations, there is often no choice but to wait. I’ll always try my best to avoid situations like that!

If you hire via Codeable, 100% payment is required up-front but your payment is protected by an escrow system meaning you get control over your funds and you have to “Mark Project as Complete” before those funds are released to me.  If anything happens to me during the project and I become unavailable, a support team is available and the whole network of Codeable-approved developers are ready to take over projects at any time!  Furthermore, if I am unable to take on your project when you need it done, I can share your project with other approved developers who can jump in and provide you an estimate for your project.  All of that said, there are fees involved when hiring via Codeable and projects typically work out to be about 20% more costly.  Some consider this a small price to pay for the features and protections that Codeable offers; it is up to you to decide if this is the right choice for you!
