Questions answered
Do I have to sign a rigid, long-term contract?
While e-commerce growth is a long-term game, our maintenance retainers are designed to be flexible. We typically operate on rolling agreements with a standard 30-day cancellation notice, keeping us highly accountable to deliver exceptional value to your brand every single month.
What happens if I don't use all my retainer hours in a single month?
We believe in absolute fairness and transparency. Depending on your specific retainer tier, a portion of your unused development hours can roll over to the following month, ensuring you always get the full value of your financial investment.
Can you maintain a Shopify store that another agency originally built?
Yes. We begin these engagements with a comprehensive Technical Audit to map out exactly how the previous developers structured your codebase. Once we understand the architecture and resolve any glaring technical debt, we seamlessly take over the ongoing maintenance.
