IT Consulting

Stack selection, project scoping and technical audits — honest advice before you commit budget.

2–5 days (most sessions) From €200

Before you spend €10,000 on a platform rebuild, spend €200 on a conversation with people who have built the systems you are considering. We give you an honest technical opinion — not a sales pitch for our own services.

What we help with

  • Stack selection: October CMS vs Payload vs custom build vs off-the-shelf — the right answer depends on your team, your timeline, and your growth trajectory. We lay out the trade-offs with specific numbers.
  • Project scoping: break down a vague product idea into a buildable specification with realistic estimates. Useful before you go to any agency, including us.
  • Technical audits: we review an existing codebase or infrastructure and identify the three to five things that will cause the most pain in the next 12 months.
  • Automation assessment: we map your team workflows and tell you what is worth automating, what it would take, and what the ROI looks like.
  • Vendor review: evaluating a proposal from another agency or freelancer? We read it and tell you if the scope, timeline, and price are reasonable.

How it works

Consulting engagements start with a half-day session (3–4 hours): a structured call followed by written output — recommendations, architecture notes, or a scope breakdown. You receive a document you can act on, not just a conversation you try to remember.

For ongoing technical advisory (monthly retainer), we provide a dedicated async channel with 24-hour response time on technical questions.

Pricing

Half-day consulting from €200. Full-day engagements (discovery + written deliverable) from €350. Monthly technical advisory retainer from €400/month. Book a session.

Questions we hear often

What do we get in a consulting session?

Clear recommendations on stack, what you get, timeline, and budget — written so you can act on them.

How long?

Most engagements take 2–5 days. Half-day sessions from €200.

Can you review another agency’s proposal?

Yes — what they plan to build, tech choices, timeline, and price against market norms.

Do you also build afterwards?

Often yes. Consulting can lead into delivery with the same team.
