Greater Victoria Website Maintenance Services
As part of my web packages, I am now offering Web Maintenance Retainers. My prices are the lowest in Victoria and there's no setup fee and no forced advertising!
A retainer is a fee paid for a pre-determined amount of time or work. Most commonly, a percentage of a retainer is paid up-front for a specified number of hours or days of work within a time period.
For more information and a feel free to contact me.
Benefits of a Retainer
A retainer can benefit you as the client in a many ways. A retainer guarantees I will provide a certain amount of work, and potentially prioritize that work. I am often pulled in many directions, and the retainer gives my clients consistent hours from me. In addition, clients will get a discount on my hourly rate.
Common Retainer Arrangements
Monthly – The retainer is paid as amonthly fee, in advance, for a certain numbers of hours worked. I track hours and bill my clients for work beyond the amount agreed upon, at the same discounted rate. If I work less than the agreed amount, that time can be rolled over.
Annually – The retainer is paid per year for a specified number of hours or days worked. An annual agreement does not keep me on as strict a schedule as a monthly contract, but the same conditions apply.
Project – The retainer is paid to work on a continuing project, for a specified amount of time or until the project is finished. This is similar to working for a flat rate for a project, but generally more for ongoing work rather than the development of a new project.
No matter what the specifics of the arrangement are, a retainer is often a great way to guarantee your project is given the time and attention it needs, while often establishing a long-term working relationship.
