Custom · bespoke scope

Custom & Bespoke.

For scopes that don't fit the fixed-price packages: larger builds, authority projects, migrations, retainers, AI systems and mixed marketing work.

Custom scope · quoted in writing before any work starts

When to use this page

Fixed packages are best when the scope is clear.

Most Mode work is sold as a fixed-price package. The scope is published. The price is published. The timeline is published. You see it, you decide, you buy. That model handles the majority of small-to-mid builds and ongoing engagements.

Custom work is for everything else. Larger builds, heavier migrations, authority projects, ongoing retainers above £295/month, AI systems with bespoke integrations, or mixed marketing scopes that need to be defined before pricing makes sense. Same delivery discipline, custom-quoted in writing before any work starts.

Named pathways

Two of the bigger custom shapes already have their own pages.

If your scope matches one of these two, start there · the dedicated page sets out the floor and what's typically inside. Anything that doesn't fit either one comes through the general custom enquiry below.

Premium build

Authority Build

From £2,995 inc VAT · 4–6 weeks

12–15 page bespoke website built around proof and positioning. For established service businesses, specialists, consultants and B2B firms whose buyers research carefully before reaching out.

Premium retainer

Marketing Retainer

From £750 / month inc VAT · 3-month minimum

Larger ongoing engagement than Monthly Growth Support. For businesses with a queue rather than a project · a steady operator on the marketing every month, without an in-house hire.

How a custom scope gets quoted

Same delivery discipline. Just a written scope first.

Custom doesn't mean sales calls and discovery cycles. It means we write down what we'll do and what it costs before any work starts.

  1. 01 Send a short noteTell us about your business, what you're trying to land, and what the work covers. Two paragraphs is plenty.
  2. 02 One working dayWe come back with first-pass clarifying questions or a proposed scope and price.
  3. 03 Written scopeInclusions, exclusions, timeline, milestones and fixed price. Same shape as a published package, custom to your job.
  4. 04 50% upfront, balance on completionFor builds. Retainers run first month plus last month upfront, then monthly thereafter.
  5. 05 DeliverySame execution standard as every published Mode package. No agency theatre, no hand-offs to juniors, no surprise invoices.
