Launch is a milestone, not an ending.
Retained design and development time for teams that keep shipping. New pages, new features, performance, experiments — handled by the person who built the thing in the first place.
01 How it works
-
Time, not tickets
A block of retained hours each month, spent on whatever actually matters that month rather than on a scope agreed six months earlier.
-
The same hands
Work goes to the person who built the original, so there is no ramp-up cost and no archaeology every time something changes.
-
Kept honest
Performance, accessibility and dependency health get checked as part of the retainer instead of decaying quietly until a rebuild is the only option.
02 Straight answers
- Is there a minimum commitment?
- Retainers work best in three-month blocks, which is long enough to be useful and short enough that neither of us is trapped.
- What if I only need occasional changes?
- Then a retainer is the wrong shape and I will say so. Small changes can be handled ad hoc without a monthly commitment.
- Do you support sites you did not build?
- Sometimes, after an audit. Inheriting a codebase without understanding it first helps nobody.
