Value-Based Web Pricing & Tier Generator

Translate client conversion rate improvements, e-commerce revenue upside, and UX lifts into high-ticket 3-tier proposals.

Methodology & Mathematical Architecture

Stop billing web projects by the hour and price on the measurable business value created. Calculate the client upside from conversion lifts, speed improvements, and generate an anchored 3-tier Good/Better/Best web proposal framework.

Unlike generic spreadsheet templates that assume 40 billable hours per week for 52 consecutive weeks, our models incorporate the structural realities of running an independent web engineering practice:

  • Non-Billable Friction: Factoring in 12 to 18 hours per week of staging deployments, client calls, invoicing, and architecture proposals.
  • Self-Employment & Dev Stack Overhead: Incorporating federal self-employment taxes (15.3% FICA), state brackets, and specialized SaaS tooling (Figma, Vercel, GitHub).
  • Defensive Cash Reserves: Generating a mandatory 15% business profit margin buffer above baseline personal take-home pay.
