What are these Flexible Packages we use at Make Do?

March 4, 2019 by Kimb Jones

The idea started pretty basic. We needed a system to cover both low-cost, small, ‘intro’ projects with new clients and also deliver agile and flexible high-value projects with a quick turnaround and no long-term obligations.

I’d always struggled with the concept of ‘retainers’ but they seemed like a good fit, but I felt that we needed to be more flexible and agile than what some ‘standard’ agency retainer packages might offer.

So we worked hard and pulled together a new service we refer to as our “Flexible Packages”

This (lengthy) blog post was fun to write because we’ve changed and evolved these ‘packages’ many times over the years and it was really great to reflect on how we got to where we are as a Flexible WordPress Agency.

I just spoke at WordCamp Manchester – my talk was an updated version of “10 Steps to doing your own thing (with WordPress)” that I gave at WordShesh a while ago.

Here’s a few post-talk Tweets from the event:
