Asked often enough to answer here

Do you work with a retainer?
No. Every project has a start and an end, and you own the files at the end of it. If you need someone every month you need a studio manager, not us.
Will we see three routes?
No. One route, developed properly, and revised twice. Three routes is a way of making the client choose so that nobody has to be responsible for the choice.
Who actually does the work?
The two people you meet. There is no account layer and nothing is passed to a junior after the pitch, because there is no junior and there is no pitch.
What if it is not right?
Two rounds of revision are in the price. If it is still not right after those, we stop and you pay for the work done. That has happened once.
