Engagements
Priced on value.
Three clear ways to work together, each scoped to an outcome. You’ll always know what you’re getting and roughly what it costs before we start — no hourly meters, no surprise invoices.
Audit
- Performance & config review
- Integration & data-flow mapping
- Prioritised list of findings
- Costed, no-obligation next steps
Project
- Scoped to a fixed price & timeline
- Direct access to Matt throughout
- Tested, documented, fully handed over
- Often live in days, not months
Retainer
- Reserved hours every month
- Priority response window
- Roadmap planning together
- Scale up, down, or pause anytime
Every engagement is scoped to your project — these are starting points, not fixed quotes. We confirm the exact figure in our reply.
Our pricing philosophy
Why we don’t bill by the hour.
Hourly rates reward slowness and turn expertise into a commodity. We’d rather be measured on the outcome than the clock — so we scope to a result, quote a range up front, and carry the risk of getting faster.
- Speed works for youDeep Magento experience means we move fast — and you’re never penalised for it on the invoice.
- Value over volumeYou compare what it’s worth to your business, not how many hours it took.
- No surprise invoicesYou approve a scope and a number before any work begins. No meters running in the background.

Questions
Before you ask.
Hourly billing turns expertise into a commodity and rewards taking longer. We scope to outcomes and quote a range up front, so you’re comparing value, not timesheets — and our speed benefits you, not us.
Projects typically start from $3,000, but the figure depends on scope. After you get in touch we reply with a scoped plan and a budget range, then confirm a fixed number before any work begins.
Yes — entirely. Everything we build is handed over, documented, and yours to keep, run, and extend with anyone. No lock-in.
Matt, the founder. Lucid Modules is a small, founder-led studio — you work directly with the person mapping your systems, in your timezone. No bloat, no bureaucracy, no account managers relaying messages.
Absolutely — most relationships begin with an audit or a tightly-scoped first project. It’s a low-risk way to see how we work before committing to anything larger.
