Monthly website retainers, handled by real people.
Your website does a lot of work for your business, and like anything that works hard, it needs regular attention. Software goes out of date, plugins need updating, and sometimes a contact form quietly stops sending messages without anyone noticing. A retainer means we’re keeping an eye on those things for you.
You’ll know what you’re paying each month, and when something needs fixing or changing, you won’t have to wait on a quote before we can get to it. Retainer clients also go to the front of our queue.
Have a look at the plans below and pick the one that suits how much your site needs. If you’re not sure, give us a call and we’ll help you figure it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
These FAQs cover how our retainer plans work, what’s included, and how our team supports your website on an ongoing basis.
A web retainer is a monthly agreement that ensures you have ongoing access to our team for website updates, maintenance, and support without needing to request individual quotes for every task. Each retainer includes different levels of service.
Retainers provide predictable costs, priority service, and faster turnaround times. They’re ideal for businesses that need regular updates or proactive site management.
If you select a retainer package with included work hours or want to take advantage of our discounted rate, here are some examples of tasks that may be covered:
- Content updates (text, images, blog posts)
- Design tweaks and layout adjustments
- Performance optimization
- Minor troubleshooting
This does not include things like functionality changes, or major design/content changes, but we would be happy to provide a discounted quote on those services.
Service hours do not carry over to the next month. Each month, you’ll receive the allotted hours included in your retainer. If a task is expected to exceed your available hours, we’ll provide a quote in advance before proceeding with the work.
For hourly requests, we’ll provide a detailed quote for the work before starting. Once you approve the quote, your project will be added to our priority queue.
For retainer clients, services are pre-billed. You can choose quarterly, or yearly payment options, with a minimum commitment of three months.
All service requests must be submitted through our client portal by creating a service ticket. Requests made outside the portal will not be processed.
