Monthly retainer

Your external tech department

For companies with revenue but no developers on staff. One person instead of four: frontend, backend, integrations, analytics, servers. Everything runs, keeps improving, and there is someone to call.

The business grew, the tech behind it did not. One agency built the website, another rolled out the CRM, inventory lives on its own, and the numbers never match. Hiring four specialists is expensive, and contractors disappear the day a project ships — leaving no one to call when something breaks.

A fixed monthly fee and one person accountable for the whole technical side: servers running, bugs fixed, data reconciled, new work delivered on a plan. The hours are written into the tier, so you know what you pay for and I know how much time to keep free for you.

01

Production that stays up

Docker, zero-downtime deploys, monitoring and recovery after failures. Not "shipped and forgotten" but a system that runs for years.

02

Numbers that match

Regular reconciliation between the accounting system, CRM, website and telephony. Discrepancies surface before a customer or a director notices them.

03

Transparent hours

You see what was done during the month and how long it took. The limit is in the plan; anything beyond it is agreed and priced separately.

04

Security and access

Updates, backups, certificates, permissions. Keys and accounts stay yours, not mine.

05

A single point of contact

No explaining the same task to three contractors and refereeing between them. One person owns the technical side.

06

Knowledge of your business

Within a couple of months I know your processes and data better than any new contractor learns in a quarter. That saves weeks on every task.

Advertising, analytics setup and new product development are done as separate fixed-price projects — that is fairer and cheaper for you than burying them in a retainer.
