How Different Types of Clients Use Our Versatile Maintenance Service Options
At Rapid Fire Web Studio, website maintenance is at the heart of what we do—and what we’re known for. We offer three pricing options designed to fit different business needs and website management styles: Pay-As-You-Go, Retainer, and Prepaid Packages. Whether you need occasional updates, ongoing support, or a dedicated team ready to tackle big changes, we’ve got the right solution for you.
A Look at Evolution of Our Maintenance Service Pricing
For years, Rapid Fire operated on a simple ad hoc model—clients paid for the exact time spent executing tasks during the billing period. This worked well when our clientele was less diverse in terms of size and needs.
However, as our studio grew, so did our clients. Some of the businesses we helped build their first websites evolved into corporations and enterprises, and we began receiving inquiries from larger-scale companies seeking maintenance support. With our team’s proven efficiency and expertise across a wide range of areas, it became clear that a one-size-fits-all approach no longer served anyone.
It was time for a change. We initially rolled out our new maintenance options quietly, but soon after, we officially introduced three powerful plans designed to meet our clients’ needs at every stage of growth.
Pay-As-You-Go
Yes, we kept this option! Not all businesses need or are ready to commit to a retainer, and that’s okay. With our ad hoc pricing, you don’t have to search for a new freelancer or pay hefty agency fees just to submit a few simple tasks each month.
With us, there’s no hassle—you know your website is in trusted hands. We already understand your build, have established communication channels, and handle contracts and finances seamlessly. Getting something done is as easy as sending us a message.
Ideal Clients for This Plan
- Small businesses that don’t rely heavily on their website but need an expert available for occasional updates when their business pivots or introduces new offerings.
Real-Life Clients Benefiting from This Option
- A Canadian keynote speaker & influencer who initially purchased a special package for a burst of updates. She now reaches out to us quarterly to support her latest webinar promotion and sales campaigns.
- A fast-growing local gardening business that regularly sends us blog posts to publish and images to add to their gallery. Since their updates aren’t urgent, they’re satisfied with the Pay-As-You-Go model for now. However, they plan to transition to a retainer package once website updates become more frequent and require direct communication and performance monitoring.
- An LA-based video production studio that relied on us to build a visually stunning website based on a template. While their main focus is social media, they still utilize our service to ensure their search engine optimization remains strong across platforms like Google and Bing.
Retainer Option
Our retainer package is straightforward but powerful. For a moderate monthly fee, you gain priority support and access to our team as an extension of your own business.
We’ve learned that priority support is crucial for companies that rely heavily on their websites to stay ahead. That’s why we offer priority assistance and thorough website monitoring, ensuring optimal performance.
As a bonus, retainer clients receive three free audits per year:
- Usability audit
- Technical SEO audit
- End-of-year Webflow standards audit
Starting in the second year, we replace the usability audit with a competitor analysis report—an invaluable deep dive into competitors websites performance that helps identify opportunities for improvement.
Ideal Clients for This Plan
- Fast-growing businesses
- Businesses in highly competitive industries
- Companies with in-house marketers or marketing teams constantly working on website improvements
Real-Life Clients Benefiting from This Option
- A leading American cybersecurity company with an in-house marketer managing a dynamic website that’s regularly updated with blog posts, event announcements, and company news.
- A recycling service solutions company that values our proactive approach—we consistently identify opportunities for website improvement, implement audit findings at their own pace, and ensure steady growth without financial strain.
Prepaid Packages
Sometimes, you know exactly what needs fixing and have a clear strategy—you just need the technical experts to get it done in a single, efficient sprint without exceeding your budget.
Or, you need to launch a new product/service fast. Every day of delay costs money, and you need a team that tells you: "Scheduled for this Thursday, 1 PM to Friday late afternoon. We’ve got you covered!"
Ideal Clients for This Plan
- Startups
- Businesses with temporarily unavailable in-house developers
- Companies wanting to test our services before committing to a retainer
Real-Life Clients Benefiting from This Option
- A fintech startup preparing for an agile sprint. Their team—composed of a product manager, content strategist, and UI/UX designer—needed technical implementation in Webflow. We seamlessly integrated their designs, built new pages, and made crucial updates for their service launch, later continuing with them on an ad hoc basis.
- A financing company led by a tech-savvy head of marketing familiar with Webflow but occupied with strategic planning rather than development. We helped them build pre-approved, reusable page components that their team could easily manage in-house.
- A Canadian non-profit whose website lacked a structured content management system (CMS). Their prepaid package hours went toward restructuring their CMS, optimizing internal workflows, and empowering their team to independently manage updates without needing tech support for routine changes like adding new initiatives, events, and team members.
