Flexible Retainer
How it Works
- With a Flexible Retainer in place, you send requests (of any size) whenever you want.
- You get an estimated time to completion (can be as little as 1-2 business days, depending on the extent of the work and my current schedule).
- Larger requests may be assigned a fixed-fee.
- The work is completed and you get notified when it’s done.
- Your Flexible Retainer is adjusted at a reduced hourly rate, with no time minimum.
- I’ll notify you when we’re reaching the end of the retainer.
Benefits over Standard Hourly Work
- Reduced hourly rate
- No time minimum per request (normally one hour)
- Simplified administration/book-keeping
Investment
The Flexible Retainer minimum is $300. Clients often opt for a higher value to simplify their own administrative tasks and make sure I will be able to respond nimbly to their requests.
Flexible Retainer Notes
- Flexible Retainers do not expire.
- You will not be billed by calendar period.
- Flexible Retainers can be applied to fixed-fee projects.
- All requests received will be treated as “as soon as possible” requests. By consolidating your requests you may save some file management time (opening, closing, uploading, downloading, etc).
- Rush requests (requested to be completed faster than estimated) will be billed at double value. Rush requests may not always be possible.
Standard Hourly Work
If the Flexible Retainer option doesn’t fit your needs, here is another option.
I give you an estimated time to completion, do the work, and bill you at the Studio Rate with a one-hour minimum. Payment is requested upon receipt of the invoice. Future work cannot be undertaken until past invoices are settled.
