FAIR FLEXIBILITY
Seasonal businesses welcome
I understand that some businesses experience quieter trading periods during certain months of the year. If you communicate this with me, I am open to working alongside you to adjust the monthly service fee slightly during lower-income periods where appropriate, to help maintain continuity and support.
ANNUAL OPTION
Save 5% with annual prepayment
Clients may choose to pay for a full 12-month managed service upfront. In return, a 5% discount will be applied compared to paying month-to-month. This is optional and designed to provide flexibility and long-term value.
PAYMENT STRUCTURE
Simple and transparent
- Project setup fees must be paid before development begins.
- Ongoing monthly service payments are required to keep website hosting, management and support active.
