Flat monthly vs. a traditional agency
Traditional agencies deliver polish, but the model front-loads a large invoice before you've seen results, and the relationship often ends at launch. Here's how a flat-monthly, done-for-you service compares — and when a full agency is worth it.
Side by side
| I Launch Your Site | a traditional agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | $0 upfront, flat monthly | $5,000–$25,000+ upfront |
| After launch | We host, maintain, and keep improving | Often ends at launch; updates cost extra |
| Speed to launch | Preview in ~5 days, live in ~2 weeks | Often months |
| Contract | Month-to-month, cancel anytime | Often annual retainers |
| Best fit | Small businesses wanting quality without the bill | Large orgs with complex, custom needs |
When a traditional agency is the better choice
We'd rather be honest than win the wrong client. Choose the alternative if:
- You're a large organization with complex, highly custom requirements.
- You need a big multi-disciplinary team (brand, video, large campaigns).
- You have capital ready and an in-house team to maintain the result.
