Engagement model
Scale your business with a unique access to our services every month.
For post launch development, a monthly retainer contract is the right choice. This is due to the fact that it usually incorporates a number of services that are essential in the post launch period such as upgrades, repairs, improvements, maintenance, etc. A monthly retainer contract is also suitable for all marketing services (including SEO) as they need to be agreed upon on a monthly basis to achieve the best results.
What are the advantages of monthly retainer contract? You are working with a dedicated partner who knows the product inside out which results in a simplified workflow as you are working with one company for a while. This is an opportunity for a fruitful continued ongoing relationship. You also get a better value as retainer rates are always better than those for one-time clients and a guaranteed number of work hours per month.
The monthly retainer contract is the right choice for maintenance or marketing projects where you need to either improve your product over time or to track the growth of your business over the course of a few months.
The monthly retainer work process is simple. Once the number of work hours per month is set, the client raises a ticket which contains valuable information about what needs to be completed.
The team proceeds to estimate the effort needed to complete the tasks and these estimates are sent to the client for approval. Once the client approves the plan, the team starts working.
The number of hours needed to complete these tasks is deducted from the agreed number of hours. If a ticket requires more hours to be completed than the agreed number per month, the client decides whether to increase the number of hours or to transfer a part of that ticket to the next month.
By opting for a monthly retainer model, you can be sure that your product will not fall behind your competition. You get guaranteed access to our knowledge and expertise each month to help your business grow even more.
Setting budgets and adhering to them is one of the most important characteristics of any successful business. A monthly retainer contract allows you to set a yearly budget as you will know exactly how much you need to allocate for maintenance or marketing.
The fee is decided upfront and it is fixed. The only way for it to change is when you want some additional work to be completed and if you approve our estimates.
If you were to opt for a monthly retainer contract, you have a priority access to our services each month over new clients. There is no need to worry about us being booked for another project as we guarantee that the team is available to work on your project every month for an agreed amount of time.
