HOW I CAN HELP

The Creative Design Retainer Program is perfect for you if you know your going to need design services throughout the year and want to reserve a creative professional’s time.

THE BENEFITS

Peace of mind – Confidence that project deadlines are met.
Eye on your project first – Priority for design projects each month.
Simplification of accounting – A set amount is paid each month for the duration of the retainer contract.
Less Paperwork – Eliminate the per-project agreements to sign and multiple invoices to track.
No payroll headache – No reason to hire an employee because you have access to a professional designer without the overhead associated with hiring an employee.
Discount – You get a decreased rate based on the monthly hourly rate compared to my premium freelance fees.

THE DETAILS

Duration of the program – A minimum of a 3-month commitment for creative design retainer service. Once the 3-month term is near the end, we can evaluate your number of hours to see if they fit your business needs. If you would like to add more hours we can move you up to 6, 9, 12 hours monthly.
The Creative Design Retainer Program has three levels. Each retainer level has a set number of hours each month, any overage hours that accrue outside the scope of the monthly hours will be invoiced at my standard hourly rate of $65.00 an hour.
Unused hours will EXPIRE and do not roll over each month. To best assist you and your business, I will notify you before over-time hours occur.
Each month you will receive a detailed invoice with the description of projects and hours allocated for all project work.
