Ongoing Retainers.

A monthly retainer gives you a dedicated designer, guaranteed availability, and discounted rates.

Why Choose a Retainer?

  • Predictable, guaranteed design time

  • Priority turnaround

  • Lower hourly rates than ad-hoc work

  • No need to request quotes every time

  • A designer who knows your brand inside-out

  • Flexible use: design, websites, graphics or content

Retainers are ideal for businesses that want reliable, ongoing visual support.

Which Option is Right for You?

Below are the three core plans I offer. All include guaranteed monthly hours, priority service, and discounted rates compared to my standard hourly (£42.50).

Flexible / Ad-Hoc Retainer Option

Not ready for a full monthly retainer but still want faster turnaround and simpler billing?

Ad-Hoc Flexible Billing — £42.50/hour (billed as needed)

Ideal if:

  • Your design work is unpredictable

  • Some months are busy, some quiet

  • You want access to me without a monthly commitment

You still get professional support ~ just without reserved hours.
This is also a perfect stepping stone into a monthly retainer when your workload grows.
