    I had a few clients like that.
    With a large website we had a dedicated resource and we billed them monthly. It worked because they paid for a mid weight, but we had seniors helping out when it was complicated and it was business for me because I could use an extra resource for other projects in his downtime.
    Earlier I had a client with an 'account' in the ol' times' style. It was branding and print. We billed for projects and they had a credit. It was good for them as they could span large projects along several month and it worked for me as I had an even stream of money coming in.
    I tried selling 10-hours package of dev services to a Spanish agency and it was shite. They always argued about how long took for doing anything.
