How retainers works
Flexible and effective way of delivering ongoing development services.
6, 12 and 24 Month Contracts.
Longer commitments reduce the monthly rate.
No extra fees.
No onboarding charge, no offboarding charge.
Operational included.
Basic documentation, management, and reports come with every plan.
Pay by Day.
A single development day covers 6–8 hours of active development, management of those hours, testing, and consulting.
Two different services, often confused
A development retainer advances the product. Maintenance keeps it stable. Both are available, and often run at the same time for different reasons.
A retainer is the right choice when the roadmap has features waiting to ship. Maintenance is required when the goal is stability and uptime. Mixing the two under one contract creates perfection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Ongoing Development and Ongoing Maintenance?
Development advances the product: new features, integrations, architectural improvements. Maintenance keeps what exists stable — updates, monitoring, and bug fixes. They serve different purposes and are priced separately.
How are sprints structured?
Each sprint covers planning, development, testing, and a handoff review. Length is agreed per engagement, typically two weeks. The client sees what’s in scope before work starts.
Can the scope change between sprints?
Priorities can shift between sprints with reasonable notice. Mid-sprint changes are possible in genuine emergencies, but they affect delivery timelines for that cycle.
What does Pay by Day include?
A single day covers 6–8 hours of active development, management of those hours and testing relevant to the work completed.Is there a minimum contract length?
The WordPress development retainer requires a 6-month minimum. App Development and Software Development retainers require a 12-month minimum.
What if the application needs backend work alongside app development?
Backend work for applications falls under Ongoing Software Development. Both tracks can run in parallel, and the teams coordinate directly. No separate project management overhead required.
