How we manage delivery costs
Our published support blocks and retainers help you plan spend. We agree priorities and scope with you, then report how time is used. Actual costs depend on your website and requirements.
Lean commercial model
Our rate card sets out support blocks and retainers so you can compare scope and inclusions before committing.
Less budget lost to repetition
We automate suitable checks and routine delivery steps. Experienced people remain accountable for review and decisions. The benefit depends on your starting process and the work involved.
Direct access to experienced people
A compact team keeps communication direct. Access to the people doing the work helps resolve questions and agree priorities.
Confidence in the work
Agreed outcomes guide every engagement. Relevant testing, experienced review and useful documentation help protect quality and security.
To assess value, compare equivalent scope, support coverage, delivery quality and total spend over an agreed period. Savings are not guaranteed.

Project engagements
Project engagements are typically ~20% higher than support rates. Fixed-fee options available following discovery. For greenfield and rebuild projects, see our New builds service for scope, delivery model, and automation setup details.
How we approach pricing
TrueCMS pricing is transparent by design. You can see what work is underway, who is accountable and how it connects to your priorities. Support uses prepaid blocks and optional retainers. We scope project work with you after discovery. Our delivery team is based in Australia.
What's included in every engagement
- Australia-based senior engineers lead delivery, supported by mid-level and junior specialists where it maximises value.
- Relevant automated tests, accessibility checks and agreed performance measures.
- Weekly progress updates, roadmap reviews and clear summaries for stakeholders.
- Access to specialists in delivery automation, accessibility, analytics and optimisation as needed.
More value from the rate card
We reduce repeatable manual work where it is practical and safe. This can put more of your budget towards useful improvements. Any reduction in total spend depends on your starting process, website complexity and agreed scope.
