[ Pricing ]
Straightforward pricing. $20/hour or fixed.
Tell me the number you have to work with. I'll tell you honestly what's achievable within it — and if it isn't enough, I'll say so before we start rather than halfway through.
Hourly rate $20/hoursmall jobs and ongoing work · fixed price for defined projects
Monthly retainer
For ongoing work — maintenance, monitoring, updates and small changes. Month to month, cancel whenever, no minimum term.
$20/hour for small jobs
For a single bug, a short task or ongoing tweaks, where writing a full scope would cost more than simply doing the work. Billed in real time, reported in writing.
Budget too tight for the whole thing? I'll often suggest doing the highest-value part first and the rest later, rather than doing all of it badly.

[ Questions ]
Before you get in touch.
How much do you charge?
$20 per hour for small jobs, fixes and ongoing work. Defined projects get a fixed price agreed in writing before anything starts, so there is no hourly creep and no invoice you have not already approved. Retainers are month to month with no minimum term.
Which countries do you work with?
Clients anywhere. I work remotely with businesses in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Canada and across Europe. Everything runs in English and in writing, and pricing is in US dollars.
How do time zones work?
Async by default: written updates, a shared task list and a clear handover at the end of each working session. Calls are booked in your working hours through the booking link, and urgent incidents — a hacked site or a production outage — get a same-day response whatever your time zone.
Who is Dkoder?
Dkoder is the engineer behind YourDevPartner: a full-stack developer and security engineer with 12+ years of experience across PHP, Laravel, Node.js, WordPress, e-commerce platforms, AWS and Linux. Every project on this site is done by the same person you talk to.
What do you need from me to start?
A few lines describing the problem or the goal, plus read-only access where it helps. You get a straight answer on whether I can help, roughly what it would cost and how long it would take — usually the same working day.
[ Let's talk ]
Broken, slow, or not built yet?
Describe it in a few lines and you'll get a real reply from the person who'd do the work — same working day, no discovery call required.
