Hi, Product Hunters! 👋 I'm Matt, and this is my very first launch here. I hope the first one of many :) I've been a full stack web developer for a long time. I usually build custom WordPress themes, plugins, and websites for all sorts of businesses. And this is what this productized service is about. Anti Scope will cover all your WordPress development needs for a very predictable monthly fee. ❓ Why this project? The business model for web development, despite we're in 2023, is quite old. And full of flaws that affect both professionals and their clients. If you ever hired developers or web agencies to build a part of your product(s), you know this: they usually work with hourly billing, or with fixed prices. ⏲️ Hourly billing can be a pain, because it can lead to overblown budgets. With hourly billing, the provider risks nothing and you, the client, take on all the risk. It's a model where you seriously risk paying more for the mistakes of someone else. 📃 Fixed prices are less risky. Usually you know exactly what you're going to pay before you start working with your web developer. The main drawback is that often the scope is fixed as well, so any request out of scope, needs to be charged separately. And it can be really hard to change the direction of the project in the middle of the engagement, in case it becomes necessary. That's why today I'm launching Anti Scope! I'm sure that here on Product Hunt you already saw similar services, because Anti Scope works on a (very flexible) subscription model. 💡 Here's why I've decided to create a productized service with this specific model, to offer WordPress web development services: ✅ No unpredictability on prices. Pricing is clear and transparent right from the start. ✅ It isn't necessary to agree to a perfect and very detailed project scope before we start working together. We can just start, focus on your first priorities, and adjust the direction of your project(s) as needed. ✅ It's technically a subscription model, but if you want to try one month, and then cancel right away, you can do that too. In 1 single month we probably can't create very complex products, but you will save time and money compared to hiring a developer by the hour or on a fixed price, if you have a series of long tasks. Most WordPress senior developers rates range from $80 to $150+ per hour. I know this, because on very large and complex projects, I hire other senior developers and designers as well. 🙋 Who's Anti Scope for? ❌ Anti Scope isn't a service for small styling edits, or small recurring "maintenance" tasks. Sure, you can get that with Anti Scope, but truth is, that for small/micro edits and maintenance there are a lot of cheap services out there. Anti Scope is for you if: 👉 You need something custom developed for your WordPress website. It could be a new feature, a landing page, a small plugin, a long list of edits that wouldn't be covered by other services. 👉 ...or even if you need a commercial plugin with several features, or full custom websites. These typically require 2 to 3 months of work. 👉 You're looking for a consultant to help you plan the most valuable features or fixes for your WordPress website. 👉 More in general, Anti Scope is for you if you own an online business based on WordPress, that has a solid MRR, and that every year, at some point, needs web development services for 1 or more months. 📞 To guarantee value and to ensure that Anti Scope is the right service for you, I always start with a free consultation. During our first call, we'll understand together if your work requirements match. I'm currently working on another feature, where you will see the average time that typical custom projects or tasks require. It can help you with inspiration for tasks and project requests, and it will help you to understand if Anti Scope can bring you concrete value... even before our first call :) Thank you for reading this! If you hire senior WordPress developers, I would love to know what you think about the service!
