Mark Watson Consulting Services specializing in Java and Ruby development
I usually consult out of my home office in Sedona Arizona but I also enjoy traveling to customer sites. My hourly fees are $40/hour for working remotely from my home office and at negotiable rates (plus expenses) when working on site. I offer discounts for work for charities and on open source projects.
I also offer a 25% discount using my "Express Development Plan" for projects that use my standard MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT and NDA for my consulting services and when customer pays (via PayPal - see link below) 20% of estimated cost before start of project and the remaining consulting fees within two days of delivery of work.
I am also happy to negotiate a custom contract with you. I understand that the simplified terms in my standard MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT and NDA may not be compatible with your company's requirements.
New! Ruby on Rails (or Merb) Fixed Price Quick Start Service
For new customers only: I prefer to perform an initial small (4 or 5 hours) project with new customers. Please contact me with a short "statement of work" and use my "Express Development Plan" - a good way for us to get to know each other.
I have over 25 years programming experience and my customers have been pleased with both how efficiently I work and the quality of my work. Printable copy of my resume
