My rates can depend on a variety of factors, from the depth of the work involved to the software and equipment needed to carry it out. 

Typically, I charge between £25 – £30 for an hourly rate. My day rate is £150* and I charge £5 per post. I’m always open to negotiation for smaller or independent brands, and I will never charge more than my worth. 

*A Standard Day Rate will be worked out as 6 hours. For example, booking 3 x Day Rates per month would entitle you to 18 hours of work.

I send personalised invoices on the last day of each month. Included in those invoices are a breakdown of costs, any expenses and my bank account or Paypal details.

Freelancers are legally entitled to £40 compensation on late invoices (under the sum of £1k), and upon the non-payment of the revised late fee invoice are also entitled to an additional 8.5% additional interest charge.
