Firedove Technology

We are a hybrid agency.

If a scammer tries to waste our time, we're going to waste theirs.

PROTIP: Don't ask about our ability to take credit cards right off the bat. It's a really obvious giveaway that you're up to no good.

Increase in Rate

Today we are announcing an increase in our hourly rate. The new rate is $75 an hour.

We are doing this to accommodate for a significant increase in demand for our agency and our projections as to how that demand will continue to increase.  We’ve tracked every hour of everyday for the past seventeen months and our model suggests a period of unparalleled growth for our firm in the coming months.

To date, we’ve served 100 clients. Our agency continues to grow and we still put value and fairness above all else in our pricing. We’ve been in business for 17 months and we have become ultra-efficient with our time and extremely proficient in our abilities. We look forward to continuing to work with people from all different walks of life, industries, and sectors.

Our 3rd hardware product will launch this year.

In 2015 we invented a new projection technology for our portable projector, Project Wedge.

In 2016 we built an entirely new mirror that discreetly displayed information via a disappearing display, Vitreous.

In 2017... only time will tell what we come up with next.

New Year, New Rate

As of January 9th, 2017 we are increasing our hourly rate to $50 per hour. As we’ve spoken about this before, this increase is due to certain revenue milestones being achieved. The thought is that the more accounts we service and corresponding revenue generated, the greater our value (in other words, the demand for Firedove continues to increase and our pricing reflects that.).

We are still substantially more affordable than a traditional advertising agency (some having rates starting at $150 per hour) and we still take tremendous pride in being able to provide excellent value to our clients.

As a reference point, below are category averages for some of the type of work we take on.

Technical Support (Hardware, Software, etc.): $106.27

Graphic Design (Logos, Advertisements, Print, Web): $128

Website (Design & Development): $524

It is worth noting that each project is unique and with that the price can vary greatly. We’ve built incredibly affordable websites for small businesses and we’ve also created very complicated and intricate website that ended up costing significantly more than the average.

The overall quality and value of our service increases with each rate increase as we are able to invest in more equipment, software, and anything else that helps make our office smarter and faster. The faster we work, the more you save. The smarter we work, the better the end product.

Keith "The Original CoFounder" Tatham

  October 13th, 1991 – December 16th, 2016

On December 16th, 2016 Keith Tatham lost his battle with cancer. Keith battled desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) which most notably has a survival rate of 15% after 5 years. Keith fought the disease for 7.

I’ve known Keith for 12 years. He’s been my right-hand man in every start-up, every pursuit, and all the whimseys in between. He was my best-friend.

Keith helped conceive the original idea of Firedove Technology. He joined as The Original CoFounder a few months after I had started and was the reason we were able to establish an physical office. Keith ended up going on medical leave from the company as his health became increasingly difficult to manage.

As Issac Newton said, ‘If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.’ Yesterday, I lost the giant whose shoulders I’ve been standing on for the past decade.

Keith is largely responsible for most of my innovations. Him and I would spend collectively days vetting idea after idea. Those close to me, would typically hear my latest pitch for a new product preceded by ‘Keith thinks it’s a good idea, so it must be pretty good’. His opinion became a gold standard for innovation.

There is so much to say about Keith. I could spend a lifetime telling stories about him and lionizing him as he deserves to be.

But at this exact moment my heart is shattered and I’m still struggling to grasp what has occurred. I ask my clients for patience during this trying time. I will be in touch and try to meet all of our obligations.

I love you Keith.

I miss you Keith.
