What happens next After you book

You’re in. The work starts.

Payment starts the engagement — receipt, outreach, kickoff. No waiting list.

  1. 01 · Same day

    Payment confirmed

    You get a Stripe receipt. Everleigh — client scheduling — reaches out the same day or next business day.

  2. 02 · ~48 hours

    Kickoff booked

    Goals, this month’s backlog, Slack or email, and who does the work. Usually within about 48 hours.

  3. 03 · Days 7–10

    Working backlog

    Discovery plus what’s in and out of this month. A shared board so the plan is visible.

  4. 04 · Week 2+

    Shipping

    Senior capacity reserved and working the plan. Overflow is flagged before we burn it.

  5. 05 · After 90 days

    Month-to-month

    The first 90 days set the cadence. After that you’re month-to-month — or lock 6 months for 10% off.

Need more than one lane?

Stack Design & Development, Marketing, and Fundraising. You pay the combined list, then we discount for shared studio overhead — one relationship, not three account teams.

How it works Straight talk

Retainers sit beside projects — they don’t replace them.

A redesign, a 0→1 product, or a custom OS is still a scoped project. Retainers are how you keep senior capacity after launch — without reopening a negotiation every Tuesday.

  • Month-to-month after the first 90 days on Stripe at list — or lock 6 months for 10% off, invoiced with us.
  • Stack lanes when you need two or three: 10% off for two, 15% off for all three (shared overhead, one relationship).
  • Hours are reserved for you; overflow is flagged before we burn it.
  • Projects (like a $50–100k build) quote separately — then roll into a retainer when you want continuity.
FAQ Before you book

Quick answers.

Who does the work?

The same senior people you meet on the call. No junior account layer, no offshore handoff.

Can I change tiers mid-stream?

Yes. Upsize any month with notice; downsize with 30 days. Overflow hours are flagged before we burn them.

What’s not included?

Ad spend, third-party SaaS seats, stock licenses, and success fees on capital raised. Those stay transparent and separate.

Where do we start?

Book any Starter, Core, or Full-service retainer on this page — Stripe checkout is month-to-month at list. Lock six months with us (10% off, invoiced) if you want the discounted term.

What about one-off projects?

Scoped builds get a written proposal — fee, timeline, and deliverables — usually within 24 hours of the call. Retainers are for ongoing capacity after (or alongside) that.
