Working with Ambition has never been easier. We're happy to introduce our new hourly with retainer billing. This new structure allows clients to work within their budget and receive the services they need the most.
Let us create a custom package for you. Book your free 15 minute consultation below.
Each service has a set hourly rate. Each project has a retainer. The retainer will cover the approximate time it will take to complete the services selected, and this is the minimum fee for one-off projects. Every minute we spend on your project will be tracked and billed at the hourly rate against the retainer. Once the retainer is used up, clients receive a bill for the amount not covered by the retainer. We bill weekly to keep you on track.
Before we get started, we will provide you a proposal with the expected time the project will take, the retainer rate, and a "max" expectation for if your project goes longer than expected. Clients are notified of all hours with status emails as needed. Billing is weekly. Clients may discuss budgetary concerns with us at any time.
You hire us to design a logo. We expect the logo will take 3 hours, and the retainer is $225. We start the project and track every minute. We finish on time but you have just one more request, a great idea that came to you last minute. Not a problem! We let you know we need a bit more time and you've almost used your retainer. You love your idea and tell us to continue. The total time to complete your project was 3 hours and 20 minutes. We bill in 15 minute increments. The additional bill is just $18.75.
Fees listed do not include any hard costs for materials or third party fees; digital or physical. Hard costs to be billed separately. See our package rates on the "Packages" tab

Not typically. We have offered solutions for 14 years and we have a good idea of how much time each project will take us. We are usually spot on.
There are no refunds for unused retainers for individual projects. It is very rare that we will not use the full time. For long term plans, where 3-12 month retainers are used, unused retainers will roll into the next project.
Even though our services are custom to every client, our package billing did not allow the flexibility we needed. Life is unexpected. While one client might be taking off from our services and need many more hours, another might be cutting back due to industry demands or staff shortages and require less work. Hourly billing is the fairest pricing structure for our clients.
