Why $4,000?

We've found that a fixed monthly retainer is the most effective way to ensure project stability.

By establishing a predictable cost upfront, we remove the anxiety of fluctuating invoices and the risk of going over budget, allowing us to focus entirely on the creative output rather than the clock.

FAQ

What's included in the Design Retainer?

Ongoing design capacity: website updates, social graphics, print collateral (flyers, brochures, name cards), brand assets, and design support as needed. Expert time — not unlimited hours.

What's not included?

Full rebrands and large print projects (see our brand identity package). New site builds, web apps, SEO, and ads live under Web. Ad spend, print production, and third-party licenses are separate — we'll flag anything out of scope upfront.

Why quarterly billing?

$4,000/month, billed quarterly — $12,000 upfront for three months. 30-day written notice to stop, effective end of the paid quarter. Same terms as AI Support.

I only need a logo or one brochure — do I need the retainer?

No. Scoped design and print projects have their own pages and pricing — brand identity from $4,000, brochures, flyers, campaigns, and more. The retainer is for businesses that need ongoing design every month.
