Services & Pricing

How We Work

Stratafort is a relationship-based consulting firm, not an on-call IT help desk. We operate Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM. We do not provide emergency break/fix services.

Our process starts with a free 30-minute discovery call to explore your needs and determine if we're a good fit. If you decide to move forward, we’ll complete an intake process and set you up with a secure member login. From there, you’ll gain access to your client portal where you can book service appointments.

We do not offer one-off service calls to the general public. All service appointments must be booked through the client portal after onboarding.
