LottieFiles Motion Retainer Build (6-8 days)

A repeatable delivery unit that turns LottieFiles' 800,000-animation library, Lottie Creator, and Motion Copilot into a monthly client motion retainer, priced against the $19.99 per user Individual plan and $24.99 per user Team plan.

Prerequisites
  • LottieFiles Team workspace provisioned at $24.99 per user per month so file version history, team feedback and comments, and custom brand palette are available on client work
  • Client brand assets in vector form (logo SVG, icon set, type specimen) plus written approval to host files on LottieFiles CDN
  • Figma, After Effects, Webflow, or Framer access on the client side, since those are the native integration points the animations ship through
  • A named agency motion designer and a named reviewer, because Motion Copilot output still needs keyframe review before client delivery
  • Agreed animation inventory per month (for example 5 logo and icon loops plus 2 CTA button states) written into the retainer scope
Execution Timeline
  • 1.Create the client folder structure inside the LottieFiles Team workspace and set the custom brand palette to the client's hex values
  • 2.Import the client logo and icon set as source files so AEP and Figma originals sit alongside the exported animations
  • 3.Confirm seat count and billing on the Team plan at $24.99 per user per month before inviting client-side reviewers
  • 1.Run a library audit against the 600,000+ premium Lottie library included in the Individual and Team plans to shortlist reusable loops
  • 2.Tag and save candidate animations to a client-specific collection so the retainer starts from reuse rather than net-new design
  • 3.Flag any library asset that needs recoloring to match the brand palette
  • 1.Draft first-pass animations in Lottie Creator from the imported vector sources
  • 2.Use Motion Copilot text-to-keyframe generation for the CTA button and loading-state loops, then hand-adjust timing curves
  • 3.Export each draft in both dotLottie and JSON so the client's dev team can choose per placement
  • 1.Optimize every export to dotLottie and record file size before and after optimization
  • 2.Publish to LottieFiles hosting and CDN, then capture the embed codes for each placement
  • 3.Test embed rendering in the client's actual Webflow or Framer build rather than a staging page
  • 1.Open a review thread in the Team workspace using file feedback and comments, tagging each animation with its placement
  • 2.Walk the client through version history so they can see what changed between draft and approved
  • 3.Collect written sign-off per animation before any embed goes live
  • 1.Deploy approved embeds to the client site and verify load behavior on mobile connections
  • 2.Write the animation usage guide covering which file format to use where and how to swap an animation without a developer
  • 3.Hand over CDN embed codes and source files in a single client-facing index
  • 1.Set the retainer cadence: monthly refresh of 3 to 5 animations drawn from the library plus one net-new Lottie Creator piece
  • 2.Document the intake form fields the client uses to request new animations each cycle
  • 3.Run a margin check against seat cost and hours logged before the first invoice
  • 1.Hold a 30-minute handover call walking the client through the workspace, the usage guide, and the request intake
  • 2.Archive the first cycle's source files and exports in the Team workspace for reuse in cycle two
  • 3.Lock the next cycle's animation list and confirm the retainer renewal date
$24.99 to $74.97 per month in LottieFiles seats (one to three Team users at $24.99 per user per month), against a $1,800 first-cycle build fee modeled on the Starter Animation Pack6-8 days
ROI Logic

Three Team seats cost $74.97 per month, so a retainer billed at even $600 per month clears roughly 87 percent gross margin before designer hours. The 800,000-animation library and 600,000+ premium assets mean later cycles lean on reuse and Motion Copilot drafts instead of net-new design time, which is where the margin holds as the retainer matures.

Deliverables
  • Client LottieFiles Team workspace with brand palette, tagged collections, and version history on every file
  • Set of approved dotLottie and JSON exports with before-and-after optimization file sizes recorded
  • CDN embed code index mapped to each site placement
  • Animation usage guide covering format choice, swap procedure, and request intake fields
  • Monthly animation refresh schedule with the first cycle's source files archived
Definition of Done

The client's approved animations are live via LottieFiles CDN embeds, every file carries version history and written sign-off in the Team workspace, and the next monthly refresh is scheduled with a documented intake form.
