Hourly improvements to your website, bot or system
Your website, bot or internal system keeps evolving, and you do not have to find a new contractor for every task. You send a task, I estimate it in hours, and once we agree I build it, test it and deploy it. The time log shows where the hours went.
Who it is for
- The website or system is running, improvement tasks come up regularly, but an in-house developer is not worth it.
- The previous contractor has moved on, but the website or system still needs to grow.
- The amount of work is not known in advance, and a fixed quote for the whole project does not fit.
- A running bot or portal needs a new feature without being rebuilt from scratch.
What is included
- An estimate in hours for every task before work starts
- New pages, sections and forms on the existing website
- Logic changes: bot scenarios, calculations, rules for handling enquiries
- Interface and layout changes, including for phones
- Fixing errors that turned up in day-to-day use
- Testing changes before they go to the live website or server
- A time log: how long each task took
Billed separately
- Copy, photos and translations for new pages
- Paid plugins, libraries and third-party services, billed by their owners
- Large new modules, as a separate project with its own specification and quote
Price and timing
Estimated timing
Per task: I give the timeframe with the estimate
What affects the price
- How many tasks there are and how closely they are connected
- How the project is built and whether it has documentation
- Whether I first need to get to grips with someone else's code
- How much testing is needed so that a change does not affect other parts of the project

Example
A real project from the portfolio with a similar task.
Website of an international passenger carrier
- Task
- The carrier already had a website. It needed ongoing improvements and more passengers through advertising.
- Solution
- Improvements and advertising: destination landing pages on a shared template, Google Ads with conversion tracking. I did not build the site itself.
- Result
- Ongoing work: more than 350 destination landing pages so far, the site keeps improving and Google Ads campaigns are running.
- Google Ads
- Google Tag Manager
- PHP
Flagship case
Fleet management system: from a Telegram bot to an ERP
- Task
- A company with its own vehicle fleet needed shift check-ins, the daily plan, fuel accounting and vehicle maintenance in one system.
- Solution
- Started with a Telegram bot for START and FINISH check-ins and grew it into two services: the management system (bot and web admin) and a driver portal. Integrated with two GPS telematics systems and fuel cards.
- Result
- The system runs every day in a real company and keeps growing: about 620 commits since January 2026.
- FastAPI
- python-telegram-bot
- PostgreSQL
- SQLAlchemy 2
- Alembic
- Docker
FAQ
How much does an hour of improvements cost?
From 90 BYN/hour. Before work starts, I estimate the task in hours, so you know the amount in advance. The package of hours is paid in advance, 100% before work starts. If a task turns out bigger than the estimate, I stop and agree the extra time with you.
Do you improve websites that you did not build?
Yes. I am currently improving a passenger carrier's website that I did not build: I change existing pages and add new landing pages. In someone else's project I first work out how it is built, and that time is part of the estimate too.
How is hourly work different from a fixed-price project?
A fixed price fits when the scope is known in advance and written into the specification. Hourly work fits when tasks come up along the way and keep changing. You pay for the time against an agreed estimate, not for a buffer against unknown risks.
Which projects do you take on for improvements?
Websites on WordPress, Laravel, React and Next.js, Telegram bots and internal systems on Python and FastAPI. If the project uses a technology I do not work with, I tell you before the estimate.
How do you report the time spent?
For every task I record what was done and how long it took. You get the report when the task is closed, or a monthly summary if there are many tasks.
