Retainers
Dedicated yearly resources without scope restriction
Hire developers, designers, SEO executives, digital marketing executives, ecommerce, ERP/CRM and LinkedIn lead generation resources on yearly contracts. Work is based on employee capability, experience level, working days and working hours, not a fixed monthly task scope.
Resource retainers based on capability, time and experience
Choose one dedicated resource or a managed pod. The agreement defines role capability, experience band, working days, working hours, reporting, access and replacement support.
You assign priorities as they come. The resource works within agreed availability instead of a locked one-time project checklist.
Developer, designer, SEO, marketing, ecommerce, ERP/CRM or LinkedIn work stays aligned to the selected person skill set.
Capacity is defined by days per week, daily hours, time-zone overlap, holidays, leave, and expected response rhythm.
Junior, mid, senior and lead profiles are priced differently because ownership, speed and decision quality change with experience.

FAQ
Retainer questions buyers ask before hiring
Can I hire a dedicated employee-like resource from GreyBath on a yearly contract?
Yes. GreyBath provides dedicated yearly resources for development, UI/UX, SEO, digital marketing, graphic design, ERP/CRM support, ecommerce operations, and LinkedIn lead generation. The model is closer to a dedicated employee contract than a fixed project scope: you select the role, experience level, working days, working hours, reporting process, and tools.
Is there any fixed scope restriction in the retainer?
No fixed task-list scope is applied like a one-time project. The resource works on the priorities you assign during the agreed working days and hours. The practical boundary is the selected person role, capability, experience level, tools access, and ethical/legal work limits. If the work requires a different skill set, GreyBath can add or replace the role instead of forcing it into the wrong profile.
How is pricing decided for yearly dedicated resources?
Pricing is based on the role, years of experience, skill depth, working days per month, daily working hours, communication requirements, and whether GreyBath provides supervision or a managed pod. A junior, mid-level, senior, and lead-level resource will have different rates because capability and ownership are different.
What experience levels can we choose?
Typical bands are junior/support level for execution under guidance, mid-level for independent daily delivery, senior level for ownership and problem solving, and lead/consultant level for planning, review, architecture, strategy, or team guidance. The right band depends on how much supervision your team can provide and how critical the work is.
Which roles are available on a yearly contract?
You can request dedicated developers, UI/UX designers, graphic designers, SEO executives, digital marketing executives, LinkedIn lead generation executives, ecommerce support executives, ERP/CRM support resources, frontend developers, core PHP developers, Laravel developers, WordPress/WooCommerce developers, and managed mixed-role pods.
What does a developer work on during the retainer?
A developer can work across Core PHP, PHP 8, Laravel, CodeIgniter, WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, React, Next.js, Vue.js, Angular, Node.js, Express.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, REST APIs, GraphQL, payment gateways, CRM/ERP integrations, admin panels, dashboards, bug fixing, speed optimization, security fixes, staging-to-live releases, and ongoing product improvements as long as the task matches the selected developer capability and time availability.
What can SEO, digital marketing, and LinkedIn executives handle?
An SEO executive can handle technical checks, Search Console review, on-page updates, content briefs, internal linking, metadata, schema recommendations, and reports. A digital marketing executive can manage campaign calendars, UTMs, paid-media coordination, lead tracking, and performance summaries. A LinkedIn lead generation executive can build ICP lists, run outreach workflows, qualify replies, and update CRM sheets.
How are working days, timing, leave, and availability handled?
The contract should define working days per week, daily working hours, time zone overlap, response expectations, public holidays, planned leave, emergency support rules, and reporting cadence. This avoids confusion and makes the arrangement fair for both sides while keeping the client clear on actual available capacity.
How do you track work without a fixed scope document?
Work is tracked through priorities, daily or weekly task lists, timesheets if required, Git or staging links for technical work, design files for creative work, campaign sheets for marketing, and weekly/monthly progress reviews. The goal is not to restrict scope, but to make time, output, blockers, and next priorities visible.
Can we upgrade, downgrade, or replace a resource?
Yes. If the workload needs more ownership, the resource can be upgraded to a senior or lead-level profile. If the work becomes simpler, the next renewal can move to a lower band. Replacement support can also be included when the fit, skill match, or availability is not right.
What access, ownership, and confidentiality rules should be set?
Clients should provide role-based access only: Git, CMS, analytics, ads, CRM, LinkedIn tools, design files, hosting, or internal systems as required. Ownership of approved deliverables, source files, campaign assets, and account access should be documented in the agreement. NDA and confidentiality terms can be included for sensitive product, business, customer, or lead data.
