How a month works
We agree priorities on the monthly roadmap call. Development work comes out of your included hours, and monitoring, SEO checks and security work run in the background. Each quarter you get a full security audit, the same depth as the standalone Security Audit.
Terms for all retainers: billed monthly in advance, with a 3-month minimum commitment and cancellation on 30 days’ notice after that. Unused hours don’t roll over, but they can go into a prepaid hour bank at your discounted retainer rate.
