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.

01

One-off projects

A site, an integration, a feature nobody gets around to finishing. Scope, timeline and price fixed before we start.

02

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.

03

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

The time saved is yours

On a fixed price, speed becomes a shorter timeline or more scope for the same fee — never padded hours.

04

Transparency on request

I tell you where and how I used AI on each project, if you or your client ask.

05

No AI look

The design is yours. I build it faithfully, no templates, no visual shortcuts.

06

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.

  1. 01You send the brief or the designThe same way you send it to your team.
  2. 02I send back scope, timeline and price in writingWhat's in, what's out, and when.
  3. 03Frequent deliveries on a staging environmentA link for you to check — and show your client whenever you want.
  4. 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.
