Answers to the most common questions about working with Stellar, our pricing, and what to expect.
We work with brands across e-commerce, legal tech, local services, and small businesses building their first digital presence. Most of our retainer clients are independent watch brands and growth-stage companies who need a real marketing partner, not just a vendor. We also take on select project-based work for businesses launching or redesigning their websites.
It depends on what you need. Project-based work like site builds and redesigns are scoped and quoted at a fixed price before we start. No surprises. For ongoing partnerships, we offer monthly retainers that include strategic planning, reporting, and flexible execution hours across web, ads, email, and creative. Every retainer is month-to-month with no lock-in contracts.
Every retainer includes two things: strategic partnership and execution hours. Strategic partnership covers planning, performance oversight, reporting, and recommendations. This is always included and never billed against your hours. Execution hours can be used across any discipline: web development, design, paid media, SEO, email, or content. Your hours flex across channels as priorities shift, so you never need separate vendors for each service.
Our founder spent six years at DISCO, a publicly traded legal tech company, scaling their web operations and digital presence from the inside. That is not something you learn from a course. We have built and scaled sites for companies from pre-launch to IPO. The people on your strategy calls are the same people doing the work. You own everything we build: full code access, CMS training, and no vendor lock-in. If something breaks on a site we host, we fix it free.
We plug directly into your workflow. We join your Slack, attend your standups, and execute alongside your internal team. Think of us as your marketing department without the headcount. A senior strategist, designer, and developer embedded in your business on a predictable monthly cost. We learn your brand once and build on it every month.
It starts with a strategy call to understand your goals and where you are today. For project work, we scope everything upfront and deliver in weeks, not months. For retainers, we begin with an audit of your current digital presence, then build a prioritized roadmap and start executing against it. You get regular check-ins, transparent reporting, and a direct line to your team.
