01 — The Deposit
Begin the build.
An upfront deposit secures your project and begins strategy, design, and development. Deposit pricing is based on the scope and complexity of the build and is confirmed after a short project review.
pricing & process
Built once. Managed continuously.
Every Velvet Hour project begins with an upfront deposit. We design and build the experience around the business, then manage the active digital infrastructure through an ongoing studio subscription.
02 — The Studio Subscription
Keep it live.
Once launched, an active monthly studio subscription keeps your website or managed digital experience live and operated through Velvet Hour. Hosting, technical maintenance, software and security updates, backups, and continued technical support are handled by the studio.
If a client chooses not to maintain an active studio subscription, Velvet Hour is not responsible for continuing to host, operate, maintain, or support the live experience.
03 — Continuous Care
Built to keep moving.
Businesses change. Products evolve. The studio remains behind the work after launch, keeping the technical side running and supporting the experience as it grows.
Major new features, redesigns, and expanded systems may be scoped as additional project work.
