Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our monthly technology retainers solutions
What's included in a monthly retainer agreement?
Monthly retainers include dedicated development hours for new features and enhancements, priority support with guaranteed response times (24-48 hours), regular maintenance including security updates and performance optimization, proactive monitoring of your systems, strategic technology guidance and consultation, detailed monthly progress reports, and direct communication channels for immediate needs. Unused hours roll over for one month, ensuring you get maximum value from your investment.
How do retainer hours work and what happens to unused hours?
Retainer hours are allocated at the beginning of each month and can be used for any development, maintenance, or support tasks. Hours are tracked transparently with detailed reporting of all work performed. Unused hours automatically roll over to the next month, but expire after 60 days to maintain fairness. This system ensures you never lose value while encouraging efficient use of development time.
What types of work can be covered under a retainer?
Retainer hours can be used for a wide variety of technical work including new feature development, bug fixes and troubleshooting, system updates and maintenance, security patches and improvements, performance optimization, integration with new tools or services, technical consultation and strategic planning, code reviews and quality assurance, database optimization, and emergency support. Essentially any technical work related to your digital systems can be covered.
How quickly do you respond to retainer client requests?
Retainer clients receive priority support with guaranteed response times: acknowledgment of requests within 4 business hours, initial assessment and timeline within 24 hours, and emergency issues addressed within 2 hours during business hours. For critical production issues, I provide same-day response regardless of time. This priority access ensures your business operations are never significantly disrupted by technical issues.
Can I change my retainer package as my needs evolve?
Absolutely! Retainer agreements are designed to be flexible and adapt to your changing business needs. You can upgrade to more hours during busy periods, downgrade during slower times, or add specialized services like security monitoring. Changes typically take effect at the next billing cycle with 30 days notice, allowing for proper planning and resource allocation.
How does retainer pricing compare to project-based work?
Retainer clients typically save 20-30% compared to project-based hourly rates while gaining additional benefits like priority support, proactive monitoring, and strategic guidance. The predictable monthly cost also makes budgeting easier and ensures immediate access to technical expertise when needed. For businesses with ongoing technical needs, retainers almost always provide better value than ad-hoc project work.
What reporting and communication do you provide?
Retainer clients receive comprehensive monthly reports detailing hours used, work completed, system status, and recommendations for improvements. I also provide real-time project tracking through shared tools, regular check-in calls or meetings, immediate notifications for any critical issues, and direct communication channels for urgent needs. Transparency and communication are core components of the retainer relationship.
