Monthly Retainer
Shopify maintenance without the account manager.
One flat plan for the ongoing care your store actually needs. Add extra services when the work calls for it — no bloated tiers, no shelf-ware you don't use.
Built for small CPG brands agencies overcharge and freelancer marketplaces underserve.
The Plan
ONE TIER. THE UPKEEP YOUR STORE ACTUALLY NEEDS.
Base Retainer
Shopify Maintenance
App updates and basic configuration updates, handled monthly by the person who actually does the work.
Monthly plan pricing is based on your Shopify plan and catalog size.
What's in scope
Theme and app updates, configuration changes, shipping and tax settings, checkout adjustments, app stack monitoring, small content and product edits, and your monthly health check.
What gets quoted separately
New page templates, redesigns, custom Liquid, replatforms, and anything that adds a system rather than maintains one. I'll tell you which side something falls on before I start it, not after.
Who It's For
Brands that have a store that works — and want to keep it that way.
You don't need an agency retainer. You need one operator who keeps the lights on, tests updates before they break checkout, and tells you when an app is charging more than it earns.
When something falls outside maintenance — a new landing page, an Amazon push, a promo build — it gets quoted as a one-time upgrade.
The Fine Print, Minus the Fine Print
How this plan works.
Response time
I respond within 1–2 business days. Urgent store-down issues jump the line.
IT ISN'T ABOUT THE HOURS
The work is the same every month, no surprises, no guessing.
Bigger builds are quoted separately
Theme migrations, redesigns, and new systems are projects, not maintenance. You'll always know which is which before anything starts.
Month to month
No long contracts. I keep clients by being useful, not by lock-in.
DOING THE WORK FOR 15+ YEARS.
If you've been burned by an agency, ghosted by a freelancer, or quoted enterprise prices for small-brand problems, you're exactly who I built this for.
