Retainer

Ongoing Care + Analytics.
We stay long after most agencies vanish.

A modern site doesn’t need babysitting like WordPress did, but it does need someone watching: security patches, content edits, analytics review, and the occasional new section when your business changes.

How it works

No mystery. No padding.

Wire monitoring

Lighthouse alerts, uptime checks, GA4 + GSC dashboards.

Monthly

Review

What changed in traffic, what’s slipping, what to fix or add.

Quarterly

Plan

Roadmap of small improvements over the next 90 days.

Why it matters

The work behind the deliverables.

A monthly heartbeat beats a yearly emergency

Small improvements compound. The site that ships one tweak a week is unrecognisable in six months — and is never the one that breaks because no-one updated the dependencies for three years.

Analytics tells you what to fix next

Every month, we walk through GA4 + Search Console and pick the one or two pages that need attention. Targeted edits on the pages that already get traffic move the needle more than a redesign.

Fit check

Who this is for — and isn't.

Right fit
  • You launched a site (with us or someone else) and want it kept current — copy edits, new pages, security updates, analytics monitoring.
  • You don't want a developer on payroll, but you do want one on speed-dial.
  • You'd rather pay a monthly retainer that bundles maintenance + small improvements than scope every change as a new project.
  • You believe a website is a living asset, not a one-time deliverable.
Not the fit
  • You expect unlimited work for a fixed fee. Care covers a defined block of hours; bigger projects scope separately.
  • Your site is on a platform we can't support (Wix, Squarespace, some custom CMSes). We work on React, static sites, Cloudflare Pages, and standard WordPress.
  • You only need a one-off fix. Hourly engagements are fine — the monthly is for businesses that want predictable, ongoing care.
  • You're looking for someone to redesign your site every six months. Care is maintenance + improvement, not periodic rebuilds.

We'd rather lose the sale on the call than waste your money pretending. If you're unsure which side you're on, book a 15-minute call and we'll tell you straight.

FAQ

The ones we always get.

  • Honestly, often no — a static React site can sit for years. We recommend it if you actively post content, run ads, or have legal/compliance needs.
