Some work never really ends — new pages, experiments, features, fixes. The monthly retainer gives you 20 hours a month of Stacklumen design and development, with same-day Slack response on business days and no expiration on unused hours. It's the most popular way to work with us: momentum without a big rebuild, and a 30-day out whenever you want it.
Who it’s for
- You have an ongoing stream of site or product work.
- You want a reliable team on call, not a new SOW every time.
- You value fast turnaround and direct Slack access.
- You'd rather not sign a long-term contract.
What’s included
- 20 hours per month of design and development, no expiration
- CMS work, A/B tests, and feature additions
- Same-day Slack response on business days
- Quarterly performance and SEO review
- 30-day cancellation — no long-term contracts
How it works
- Kick off. We set up a shared Slack channel and a backlog.
- Prioritize. You queue work; we scope hours and sequence it.
- Ship. We deliver continuously against your 20 hours.
- Review. Each quarter we review performance, SEO, and what's next.
The fine print
Large ground-up builds and full migrations are scoped as their own projects — the retainer is for ongoing work, not a from-scratch website or app. We'll flag it when something is really a build.
