  • Retainer Packages

    Starting From $47 USD

    After your website or platforms are live, ongoing support can make a big difference. Whether it’s keeping things running smoothly, adding products, updating pages, or simply having someone you trust to handle the tech side when needed.

    My retainer packages are tailored for creative businesses who want reliable support without the stress of managing everything themselves. Think of it as having a tech-savvy creative partner in your corner.

    Every retainer is customised, but support commonly includes:
    ✔ Website maintenance and health checks
    ✔ Product uploads or updates
    ✔ Page updates and layout tweaks
    ✔ Seasonal refreshes or promotions
    ✔ Email platform assistance
    ✔ Platform troubleshooting
    ✔ Shopify settings guidance
    ✔ Design or print asset updates

    Having ongoing support means you stay focused on your craft while your platforms continue working for you.

    👉 Let’s Talk About Ongoing Website & Platform Support 

⭐ Beyond Ecommerce.

Expanding Into Courses, Teaching & Community

Many creatives eventually expand beyond selling products into teaching workshops, memberships, or online courses. When you’re ready for that next step, I can help set up course, membership, and teaching platforms so everything connects smoothly with your existing business.

This isn’t about replacing your website — it’s about adding additional income streams in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.

⭐ How the Process Works

Discovery
We talk about your business, goals, and what you want your website to support.

Build
Your site is designed and built using the Done With Grit Framework.

Launch Support
Training, setup guidance, and optional ongoing support.

Grow
Your website becomes a platform that supports both selling and teaching as your business evolves.

⭐ Common Questions

How long does a course/teaching website build take?
Usually 4-6 weeks depending on content readiness.

Do I own the site?
Yes. Once complete, everything belongs to you.

Can I update it myself?
Absolutely. Training is included.

Yes staged payments can be arranged.
