The Model

You buy a block of hours that covers anything under the Coleman Tech & Media umbrella:

  • Website design, updates, hosting configuration, and performance tuning
  • Branding and print production (press‑ready files, vendor coordination)
  • Accessibility reviews and WCAG/Section 508 fixes
  • SEO setup, analytics, and Core Web Vitals improvements
  • Workflow automation and third‑party integrations
  • Email, DNS, and database configuration
  • Roadmapping, consulting, and technical direction

What’s Included in Every Block

  • Transparent time tracking and shared task board
  • Priority scheduling for active retainers
  • Weekly updates and optional review call
  • Rollover buffer for active accounts (up to 20%)
  • Direct access to your Fractional CTO — no account manager layer

How It Works

Choose a monthly block of hours (10, 20, or 40). We prioritize your roadmap together, execute quickly, and track time transparently. Active clients may roll over a small buffer of unused hours to the next month.

  • Single point of accountability (strategy + implementation)
  • Faster turnarounds with an embedded partner
  • Quarterly review to adjust goals and ROI

Custom retainers available for campaigns, events, or launch windows.

Lightweight Terms

Month‑to‑month with a simple SOW. Cancel anytime before the next cycle. Unused hour rollover limited to active retainers. Emergency work billed at standard rates unless covered by add‑on.

Deliverables You Can Expect

  • Roadmap, priorities, and definition of done
  • Weekly progress notes and asset handoffs
  • Change logs, versioned files, and backup snapshots
  • Press‑ready print packages
  • Brand or accessibility audits

Optional Add‑Ons

  • 24/7 incident response
  • SEO campaign management
  • Editorial calendar & content ops
  • Training workshops and team playbooks
  • AI‑assisted content generation

Why It Works

Most agencies outsource — we embed. One partner who designs, codes, automates, and supports your stack end‑to‑end.
