What Affects the Cost

There's no standard rate for website and app work on FixlyDesk — the tech who picks up your request scopes it and quotes it, and you approve that quote before anything starts. What moves a quote up or down is mostly whether you're repairing something that already exists or building something new, and how much the finished thing has to do.

•
Fixing versus building new
A site that's down, throwing a certificate warning, or with broken email is usually scoped as a repair — often a single session — while a new site or app is scoped as a project with stages.
•
The platform it runs on
Work on a template-based WordPress, Shopify or Squarespace site tends to sit at the low end of what techs quote; custom code, or a native iOS and Android app, takes longer and needs a narrower skill set.
•
What the site has to do
A handful of pages with a contact form is a different job from online payments, bookings, customer logins, or anything that stores customer information — those all add build and testing time.
•
How ready your content is
Hand over finished text, photos, a logo and your product or service list and the build moves quickly; if a tech has to write copy, chase down images, or retype everything off an old site, that time goes into the job.
•
Whether you have the logins
Domain registrar, hosting and site admin access matter — if nobody remembers where the domain is registered or who built the site, recovering that comes before any actual work and costs more than a job where you hand the keys over.
•
Costs you pay providers directly
Domain registration, hosting plans, paid themes or plugins and app store developer accounts are billed by those companies rather than by your tech, so they sit alongside the quote instead of inside it.

Costs vary. FixlyDesk doesn’t set prices — the tech who takes your request quotes the job, and you see and approve that quote before any work begins. Posting a request is free, and you’re under no obligation to accept an offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build custom mobile apps, or just websites?

Both — techs on FixlyDesk range from website builders (WordPress, Shopify, custom code) to app developers building for iOS, Android, and the web.

My website is down or was hacked — can someone fix it fast?

Yes, submit a request marked urgent and describe what's happening — a tech can assess the issue and get you back online.

I don't have technical knowledge — can I still get a website or app built?

Yes. Describe what you're looking for in plain language when you submit your request; a tech will scope the work with you before anything starts.

Is it worth fixing my old website, or should I just start over?

That's a fair question to put to a tech before you commit to anything. If the site sits on a platform nobody maintains any more, runs plugins that have been abandoned, or was built by someone who's long gone, patching it can turn into more work than a clean rebuild — and a tech will usually tell you so rather than keep chipping away at it. If the structure is sound and it's just dated or has one thing broken, a repair or a refresh is normally the cheaper path.

If someone builds my website, do I own it — or am I stuck with them?

You should own it, and it's much easier to settle that while the work is being scoped than afterwards. Ask that the domain is registered in your name, that the hosting account belongs to you, and that you get the logins and the site files once the work is done. That way you can hand things to a different tech later without starting from scratch.

Do I have to keep paying someone once the website is finished?

Not necessarily, but a website isn't quite a one-and-done thing — platforms push updates, plugins go stale, and your domain and hosting renew on their own schedule with the providers you bought them from. Some people handle that upkeep themselves once a tech has walked them through where everything lives; others arrange periodic check-ins. It's worth asking whether ongoing maintenance is part of the quote or a separate arrangement, so it's clear from the start.

What should I have ready before I submit a request?

For a repair, describe what you're seeing — the error message, the address of the site, and roughly when it started going wrong. For a build, it helps to have your text, photos and logo somewhere you can send them, a couple of examples of sites you like the look of, and a plain-language list of what the site needs to do. If you can dig out your domain and hosting logins, do; if you can't find them, just say so in the request, because tracking down access is a normal part of the job.
