For agencies

Your build capacity, under your brand

For design studios and marketing agencies that win development work they cannot always staff. We build, fix and maintain under your name, communicate the way you need us to, and hand over documentation your team can read.

  • Overflow build capacity without hiring
  • Your brand, your client relationship, your timeline
  • Direct developer communication, not an account layer
  • Documented handover so you are never dependent on us

How does white-label development work in practice?

You keep the client relationship, the brand and the commercial terms. We provide the development. Depending on what suits you, we work entirely behind you with all communication going through your team, or we join client calls as part of your team under your name. Deliverables, repositories and documentation carry your branding, and we are contractually bound not to approach your clients directly.

  • You own the client relationship and the commercial terms
  • We work behind your brand, or as part of your team, whichever you prefer
  • A non-solicitation commitment is part of the agreement

How we help

The four ways agencies use us

  • Overflow capacity

    You have won more than you can build this quarter and do not want to turn work away or hire for a spike.

  • Specialist depth

    The project needs WooCommerce, custom PHP or a migration that your team has not done before.

  • Client site support

    Ongoing maintenance and small feature work across a portfolio you have built up but do not want to staff for.

  • Rescue work

    An inherited client site is failing and you need someone who diagnoses rather than guesses.

How we work with you

What a partnership arrangement covers

Commercial

  • Written non-solicitation and confidentiality terms
  • Agreed rates and estimating approach
  • Your margin is your business, and we do not need to know it
  • Clear scope and change process per project

Working style

  • Your project management tools, or ours
  • Direct access to the developer doing the work
  • Agreed response expectations, stated honestly
  • Progress visible on staging throughout

Deliverables

  • Code written to standards another developer can pick up
  • Documentation with your branding
  • Repository handed to you, not retained by us
  • No hidden dependency on our infrastructure

What makes it work

The failure mode in white-label is silence

Agencies get burned by subcontractors who go quiet. You have a client expecting an update on Thursday and no idea whether the build is on track. By the time the problem surfaces, your reputation is the one absorbing it.

So we work in the open: a staging URL from the first week, progress you can look at without asking, and early warning when something is going to slip — which is far more useful to you than an optimistic status update followed by a missed date. If we are behind, you will know while there is still time to manage it.

  • A staging URL you can check at any time
  • Slippage flagged as soon as it is apparent, not at the deadline
  • Direct contact with the developer, not through an account manager
  • Estimates that include the testing and revision stages

Questions

Agency partnership questions

Will you contact our clients directly?
No. A non-solicitation clause is part of the agreement, and we will not approach your clients during or after an engagement. If a client contacts us independently, we will redirect them to you.
Can you join client calls?
Yes, under your brand and introduced as part of your team, if that is what the project needs. Some agencies prefer we never appear; others find a developer on the technical calls saves a great deal of translation. Either arrangement is fine.
How do you handle estimates for our proposals?
We will scope and estimate the development portion so you can build your proposal around a real number. For anything genuinely uncertain, we will give you a range with the assumptions stated, so you can price risk deliberately rather than absorbing it.
What if we want to bring the work in-house later?
Then you should be able to. The repository, documentation and credentials are yours, the code is written to standards, and we will brief your developer during the transition. Building lock-in would be a poor way to run a partnership.
Do you work to our design files?
Regularly. We will review the designs before quoting and flag anything that will cause accessibility, performance or maintenance problems — awkward content behaviour at narrow widths, contrast that will fail, patterns that are expensive to make editable. Better to raise it before the build than after.
