taking on agency partnerships
An extra developer, when your agency needs one.
Front-end to back-end development for design and digital agencies. You handle the client and the creative; I deliver the code, with your brand up front and no surprises at the end.
ways to work
The way your agency already works.
One-off projects
A site, an integration, a feature nobody gets around to finishing. Scope, timeline and price fixed before we start.
Hours per month
A block of hours set aside in my schedule to maintain and evolve your clients' sites and systems. No quoting every small change.
White label
I work under your agency's name. You talk to the client, and projects and clients stay confidential.
partnership
The partnership works both ways.
- You call me for the code. Development, integrations and maintenance on your agency's projects.
- I call you for the design. When one of my direct clients needs a brand, layout or art direction, the work goes to the partner agency.
- Each doing what they do best. No competing for clients: whoever brought the project stays the contact.
when to call me
When an extra developer makes sense.
- A spike in demand. Three projects landed in the same month and you don't hire for a spike.
- The client asked for something technical. Logged-in areas, integrations, payments, a custom admin — beyond the brochure site.
- A stalled project. That feature that has been "almost done" for weeks.
- The site nobody wants to open. Older sites and systems that need maintenance, without rewriting everything.
- The client wants AI in the product. Chat, smart search, automations. You sell it, I build it.
and what about AI?
AI the way agencies need it: faster, with no hidden risk.
AI changed the pace of development, and it brought questions every agency asks: who answers for the code, where the client's data goes, who keeps the time saved. These are my answers.
I answer for every line
AI helps write; I read, test and sign off. I don't deliver code I can't explain and maintain.
The client's stays the client's
Code, data and briefs don't go into tools that train AI on them. I sign an NDA.
The time saved is yours
On a fixed price, speed becomes a shorter timeline or more scope for the same fee — never padded hours.
Transparency on request
I tell you where and how I used AI on each project, if you or your client ask.
No AI look
The design is yours. I build it faithfully, no templates, no visual shortcuts.
AI as a service you resell
Chat, search and automations inside your client's site or system, under your agency's brand.
how it works
From brief to launch, without going quiet halfway.
- 01You send the brief or the designThe same way you send it to your team.
- 02I send back scope, timeline and price in writingWhat's in, what's out, and when.
- 03Frequent deliveries on a staging environmentA link for you to check — and show your client whenever you want.
- 04Launch and handoverCode in your repository, with what someone else needs to carry on.

what I do
From layout to server.
- Design to code. I take your design and build it faithfully, responsive and checked in the browser.
- Back end and systems. Laravel and PHP, APIs, dashboards, client areas, integrations with the tools your client already uses.
- Sites and CMS. Statamic and others, with an admin your client can edit on their own.
- English and time zones. Almost a year with a New Zealand agency, in English and remotely.
frequently asked
What agencies usually ask.
Do you talk to our client?
No, unless you ask me to. I work under your agency's name, confidentially.
How do you charge?
Per one-off project, with fixed scope and price, or as a block of hours per month.
Which technologies do you work with?
Among others, mainly PHP (plain or Laravel), MySQL and non-relational databases, front end (React or framework-free) and Flutter for mobile apps. If the project already has a stack, I adapt to it.
Do the sites come optimised for SEO?
Yes, out of the box — so your client shows up on Google with no rework:
- Its own title and description on every page
- Clean URLs and a sitemap for Google
- Structured data (schema.org), which helps Google understand the business
- Fast loading: light images, loaded only when they appear
- A mobile version, which is what Google evaluates
- A proper preview when shared on WhatsApp and social networks
- Google Search Console set up
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes.
How is the work delivered?
On a staging environment during the project. At the end, the code goes to your repository, with what someone else needs to carry on.
