    The fixed fee covers design and build for the scoped engagement. Recurring third-party costs, your domain, hosting, and software subscriptions, are set up in your accounts and billed to you directly, so you own everything from day one.

    HubSpot Solutions Partner perk: working with us secures an additional 15% off HubSpot subscriptions for our clients, on top of the fixed-fee build.
    Engagements

    Three ways to work with us.

    Project

    From $7,500 / fixed

    A defined build with a written scope and a single number. Best when you know the outcome you want.

    Retainer

    From $1,000 / month

    A block of senior time each month for evolving products, support, and steady momentum.

    Audit

    From $4,500 / flat

    A one-time security or accessibility assessment with a prioritized, plain-English action plan.
    The honest part

    Why we cost less, and why that’s the point.

    Same senior work, a fraction of the price. Here’s where the difference actually comes from.

    A typical agency

    $30k+ and a junior on your project

    • Layers of overhead, offices, account managers, sales teams
    • Your work handed to whoever is free, often junior
    • Hourly billing that quietly rewards taking longer
    • Change orders and surprise invoices

    A senior engineer and a fixed price

    • No overhead padding the bill, you pay for the work
    • The person who scopes it is the person who builds it
    • Fixed fees, so faster never costs you more
    • One number up front, honored to the end
    From the founder

    I’m not here to rip you off.

    I started SunRiver in Helena because I was tired of watching good people get overcharged for work that wasn’t that complicated. I’m a senior engineer, and an early, daily user of AI since it got genuinely useful, so when you hire me, you get me. Not a junior the big firms bill you double for.

    I’ll tell you the honest truth about what you do and don’t need, give you a fixed price up front, and build it right. If I’m not the best fit, I’ll say so and point you somewhere better. That’s the whole pitch.

    Good to know

    Pricing questions.

    We scope the work in writing, then quote one number for a defined engagement period. If the scope doesn’t change, neither does the price. When the engagement ends, the work is yours; ongoing help is a separate care plan you choose.
    Those are yours, on purpose. We set up your domain, hosting, and any licenses (HubSpot, cloud, etc.) in accounts you own, billed directly to you, typically a few hundred dollars a year depending on the stack. You’re never locked behind our accounts, and our fixed fee never hides recurring costs. Bonus: as a HubSpot Solutions Partner we can secure an additional 15% off HubSpot subscriptions.
    Start with a paid discovery sprint. We turn a fuzzy idea into a scoped plan and a fixed quote, and that fee rolls into the build if you proceed.
    No. Projects are scoped one at a time; retainers are month-to-month. We keep your business by doing good work, not by locking you in.
    No junior bench, no glass tower, no account managers between you and the engineer. You pay for senior work, not overhead.
