Same as our Monthly Retained Hours but for our not-for-profit customers.
We highly encourage our customers to budget a certain amount of time per month for ongoing development on their web sites. We believe the most effective web sites are ones that constantly evolve to better meet the needs of your business -- and help your business itself evolve to better serve your customers. This is a process, not a destination.
Because we work with dozens of web sites each year, we stay on top of current best practices, and can keep you in front of your competitors, getting more done, with more strategic assistance, for less than the cost of in-house staff.
If you are on one of our maintenance plans, and are willing to set aside a monthly amount for ongoing work, this is the plan for you! We offer nearly 20% off our regular rates, and set aside particular weeks to focus on your project. At the beginning of the week, we check in with you to see if any of your priorities have changed. During the week, we get your requests done. After the week, we give you a summary of how far we got, and set up the plan for the next time your week comes around!
