SERVICES & PRICING / FLEXIBLE MONTHLY PARTNERSHIP
Pick your budget.
Move your business forward.
Same expertise. Same quality. Your budget determines how much work gets done each month. Choose your priorities. Change the focus as your needs evolve.
Website design, SEO, content, video and lead generation can all be part of one ongoing partnership with Holistic Web Presence.
We work exclusively on monthly retainers, including website design and development. Your retainer funds ongoing work toward agreed goals; it is not an installment plan for a fixed website price. Start with one month and achievable objectives, then decide how to continue.
SIX BUDGETS / ONE RANGE OF SERVICES

Highest monthly capacity
The greatest monthly capacity among these options for a substantial workload across multiple priorities.
Discuss this budgetRevenue ranges are a guide. Your goals, complexity, available input and desired pace determine the right monthly budget. A larger business can begin with a focused brief; a micro business can choose more capacity.
Why $2,957 for micro businesses?
It offers more working room than the lightest option while keeping the monthly commitment below the highest micro-business budget. It is a useful starting point for balancing immediate website needs with continuing content and visibility improvements.
Why $7,325 for growing businesses?
An ambitious redesign often involves design decisions, messaging, publishing, search foundations and lead generation together. This budget supports greater parallel progress across those priorities. We still agree what is achievable for your specific project.
ONE PARTNERSHIP / EVOLVING PRIORITIES
The work follows your business needs.
You are paying us to do SEO with a business purpose: help the right customers find you, trust you and choose you. That work can mean building or improving your website, creating videos, helping you explain your expertise, developing written content, or handling technical SEO, page titles and other search fundamentals. We choose the work according to what your business needs most.
Website design & development
Create or improve your website, organize its pages, refine the presentation and develop the functionality your customers need.
Branding & messaging
Clarify who you help, why customers should choose you, and how your website communicates the value of your business.
Search & AI visibility
Research relevant searches, improve technical foundations, develop useful content and strengthen the evidence behind your expertise. See what SEO involves.
Lead generation & analytics
Build trust with project stories and useful video, improve conversion paths and measure the actions that matter to your business.
One monthly budget. Priorities agreed together. We do the work needed to support your business growth, within the capacity your budget provides. Video is not an extra production or marketing fee on top of our retainer. It does use that monthly capacity, so we agree its priority alongside website improvements, content and technical SEO.
Why a monthly partnership?
A useful website is shaped through decisions. Page structure, design customization, content, functionality, integrations and approvals all affect the amount of work. Consultation, exploration, revisions and coordination are part of that work too.
THINK OF A CUSTOM HOME
“A really nice home” is a direction.
It is not yet a set of blueprints.
A builder needs the design, specifications and finishes to understand the work. A website also needs decisions before anyone can sensibly estimate the effort involved.
A fixed-price project needs a defined specification and a way to handle changes. Our monthly model lets us develop the direction together within an agreed budget. As you see the work, you may discover better ideas or clarify what you really need. We can adapt the priorities and plan accordingly.
You control the monthly commitment; the total investment depends on how much work we undertake together. Flexibility still requires a plan, clear objectives and regular progress reviews.
Start with a direction. Build clarity as we work.
- 01
Agree the outcome and budget
Discuss your business, customers, current website and priorities. Choose a monthly budget that you can sustain, and agree achievable objectives for the first month.
- 02
Plan and begin the work
Use that month’s capacity for the most useful mix of discovery, design direction, feasibility, planning and implementation. The balance depends on how much is already clear.
- 03
Review progress and make decisions
Review what has been completed, resolve questions and agree what comes next. Refine the view of remaining work as requirements and decisions become clearer.
- 04
Continue, change focus or adjust
Continue while the work is valuable. Shift from a redesign to visibility and lead generation, adjust your monthly budget as needs change, or cancel when support is no longer needed.
“What will it cost altogether—and how long will it take?”
Those are reasonable questions. Once we understand the intended work, we can give an experience-based planning indication and explain the assumptions behind it. We refine that view as the design, requirements and review process become clearer.
The monthly rate is defined
You know the agreed monthly commitment. A higher budget supports more work each month; a lower budget usually means spreading the work over more months.
The duration is an estimate
Scope, complexity, revisions, integrations, content and approvals affect the schedule. Doubling a budget does not automatically halve the timeline, and a planning estimate is not a capped price or guaranteed completion date.
ILLUSTRATIVE ARITHMETIC / NOT A PROJECT QUOTE
$2,957 × 3 months = $8,871
If an engagement ran for three months at that unchanged rate, its retainer fees would total $8,871. That calculation does not mean your website will take three months. Total retainer fees are the sum of the monthly fees for the months your engagement remains active.
What if we are waiting for your input?
While waiting for content, feedback or approval, we can advance other agreed priorities where possible. Monthly billing continues while the engagement remains active. If you expect a prolonged delay or your needs change, discuss an adjustment with us instead of assuming billing pauses automatically.
What does the first month cover?
It covers the agreed work we can undertake within your selected monthly capacity. It may establish the design direction, feasibility and delivery plan, or include implementation when the direction is already clear. One monthly payment does not buy unlimited discovery, revisions or a completed website regardless of scope.
Clear answers before you start.
Do you charge extra for videos or video marketing?
No. Creating videos, helping you produce videos and marketing them are part of our monthly SEO work when they serve the agreed priorities. There is no separate fee for our video work on top of the retainer. As with website development, written content and technical SEO, the work uses your available monthly capacity; it is not unlimited production.
Do I have to commit to a long-term engagement?
No long-term commitment is required. We work month to month. You can adjust your budget, change priorities or discontinue services as your needs change. We agree the practical billing and cancellation arrangements before starting.
Does choosing a lower budget mean lower-quality work?
No. The expertise, quality standard and range of services remain the same. Your budget changes the amount of work we can undertake each month. We agree a realistic focus for that capacity.
Can we begin with planning and consultation?
Yes. Begin with one month at your chosen rate, with achievable objectives agreed in advance. We use the available capacity to develop direction, assess feasibility and plan the next steps.
Do you quote a fixed total price for a website?
No. Website design and development use the same monthly-retainer model as our ongoing work. We can provide planning estimates with assumptions, but our retainer is not an installment plan toward a fixed total.
What happens after the website launches?
We can shift the focus to useful content, SEO, AI-search visibility, video, lead generation and measurement. You can continue at the same budget, adjust it to match the new workload, or end the engagement.
Does the monthly fee include every possible expense?
The figures shown are our monthly service retainers. Before starting, we clarify any separate third-party costs relevant to your project, such as hosting, software, licenses or advertising spend, and who is responsible for them.
Can you guarantee rankings, leads or sales?
No. We agree useful work and review its results, but search rankings and business outcomes also depend on competition, your offer, market demand and other factors. A larger budget funds more capacity; it does not purchase a guaranteed outcome.
