You already hold the client. You were asked for something you would rather not build from scratch. This is that, delivered unbranded, on your deadline.
Everything else is detail. These are the questions every studio asks in the first email.
B.E.R.M. Solutions is the demo that proves it: a complete build with nothing in it that points anywhere but the client.
Not a per-project rate. The retainer is what buys the priority and the certainty — if you need one job quoted in isolation, the standard tiers are the better fit.
Two ways to buy. The rate card is for a single job; the retainer reserves days in my calendar so you can say yes without checking first.
| Logo animationdoor-opener | $295 |
| Identity & loader | $1,550about 4 days |
| Motion system | $3,600about 8 days |
| Full build | $6,200about 15 days |
Roughly 65% of my direct rate. The discount is not generosity — you are absorbing the client relationship, the brief and the revision politics, which is real cost off my side. What you charge on top is yours and I never see it.
| Light | $1,4504 days · $363/day |
| Standard | $3,2009 days · $356/day |
| Deep | $5,60016 days · $350/day |
The retainer books time, not a spending balance. A day is a day whatever the job, the rate improves as you commit more, and every tier comes in under the per-job card — which is the whole reason to hold one.
These are the numbers I work from, not a take-it-or-leave-it card. If your volume or turnaround looks different from the shapes above, say so in the first email and we will work out what fits.
The client brand and the date. I work backwards from your deadline, not mine.
