Retainer Days

About this block

Retainer Days uses a two column split: the left column holds a heading that reads two weekdays are open for retainer work, a short intro, and the working week drawn as five weekday cells from Mon to Fri, each marked open or taken with a status dot, under a three days committed, two days open, updated monthly line. The right column holds a four row detail list covering open days, minimum commitment, best suited work, and billing, with a Reserve a day button linking to a mailto.

The week and details are two separate arrays. The weekday strip is the distinctive detail; it turns an abstract offer into a glanceable picture of which specific days are free, so a prospect can see Wednesday and Friday are open before they read a single line of terms.

When to use

Reach for this block as the availability section when the work you want is ongoing rather than one off: design system upkeep, product support, or an advisory day each week. The installer sets the open and taken days, the commitment and billing rows, and the mailto to reflect a real standing schedule.

What you can display

One strong use is the weekly retainer view with a five day strip. Other retainer layouts:

• Half day slots. Split each weekday cell into morning and afternoon for finer grained availability.
• Two week rhythm. Show a fortnight instead of a week for an alternating on and off schedule.
• Tiered commitment. Add a detail row naming the one, two, and three day retainer bands and what each covers.

Tip: name the minimum commitment plainly; one day a week for three months sets the shape of the relationship up front and saves a back and forth over how retainers work.
