Development Partners for Agencies

Development resource for agencies who need a trusted technical partner. We work under your brand, use your tools, and deliver to your clients. They never know we're involved.

Development Partners for Agencies

How it works

You handle the client relationship, UX, design, and project management. We handle all technical build, hosting, and ongoing maintenance. Your clients deal with you. We deal with you. Clean lines.

What you provide

Design files (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD), content structure, functional requirements, and any integration specs. The more complete the brief, the smoother the build.

What we provide

Technical specification, fixed-price quote, timeline, staging environment for review, QA and testing, training documentation, and deployment. Post-launch, we offer managed hosting with Cloudflare security, monitoring, and ongoing support packages.

What we build on

WordPress, Craft CMS, Shopify, BigCommerce, Sanity, Webflow, and any PHP or JAMstack architecture. We integrate with any system that has documentation, including CRMs, PIMs, payment gateways, and marketing tools. If it has an API, we can connect it.

What we don't do

UX research, graphic design, branding, content strategy, copywriting, SEO strategy, or client communication. We implement technical SEO, but strategy sits with you. Clear boundaries mean fewer surprises.

After launch

We offer managed hosting and support packages that cover security patching, uptime monitoring, plugin updates, and bug fixes. Your clients get reliable infrastructure without you having to think about servers. New features or significant changes are quoted separately as mini-projects.

The challenge

A creative agency had more development work than their small internal team could handle. They were turning away projects and losing pitches because they couldn’t promise the technical delivery. They needed development capacity that felt like part of their own team - not an outsourced supplier.

What we did

We embedded our development team within theirs. Shared office space when needed, joined their standups, used their project tools. To their clients, we’re invisible - the work ships under the agency’s brand. We handle all the development - front-end, back-end, server management, deployments - so their team can focus on what they do best: strategy, design, and client relationships.

The outcome

The agency now takes on projects they’d previously have declined. Their development capacity scales up and down with demand without the overhead of permanent hires. The partnership has been running for over two years with no client ever knowing we’re involved.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Will our clients know you're involved?

No. That's the point. We work under your brand, use your tools, attend your meetings if needed. To your clients, we're your development team.

How does the handoff process work?

You provide the designs and brief. We handle all development, testing, and deployment. Communication runs through your project manager or directly between teams, whichever works best for you.

Can you scale up for larger projects?

Yes. We have a network of trusted developers we've worked with for years. For larger builds we can bring in additional resource without compromising quality or confidentiality.

What if we only need you for occasional projects?

That's fine. Some agency partners use us every month, others once or twice a year. We don't require minimums or retainers for the white-label service.

What platforms can you build on?

WordPress, Craft CMS, Shopify, BigCommerce, Sanity, Webflow, and custom PHP or JAMstack builds. We recommend the right platform based on the project requirements, not what we feel like using.

Do you handle hosting after launch?

Yes. We offer managed hosting packages with Cloudflare security, uptime monitoring, and ongoing support. Most agency partners move their client sites onto our infrastructure so they don't have to worry about servers.

What do you need from us to quote a project?

Design files, a content structure or sitemap, functional requirements, and any integration specs. The more complete the brief, the more accurate the quote. If designs aren't final, we can do technical scoping and planning in the meantime.

Can our clients contact you directly?

By default, no. You're the client-facing contact and you log support requests with us. This keeps communication clear. If you want to give a specific client direct access for emergencies, we can arrange that.

Not sure what the next steps are with your project?

Our team are great at solving problems, and we love building out new partnerships with companies like yours. Send us a message with a brief of your project or problem, alternatively you can schedule a call and speak to us right away.
