WHITE-LABEL DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY

Development capacity for agencies, without the hire.

You've won the project. Your developers are committed. I step in for the length of the build, work under your brand, and release the capacity when it ships.

THE SITUATION

The capacity problem agencies actually have.

Agency development demand is not steady. It is spiky. Three months where nothing needs building, then two projects land in the same fortnight and both want a Q3 launch.

A permanent developer solves the busy weeks and creates a cost problem in the quiet ones. Staff augmentation solves it the other way round: capacity that exists when the work does and costs nothing when it does not.

WHAT THIS IS

Senior development capacity, engaged per project, inside the systems your team already uses.

Senior capacity, only when the work exists

HOW WHITE-LABEL DEVELOPMENT WORKS

Working under your brand.

I work inside your infrastructure, not alongside it. That means your repo, your branching conventions, your Slack workspace, your standups, your project board, and your code review process.

To your client, the work comes from your agency because operationally, it does. I am a developer in your workspace, committing to your repo.

01

Your repo

All work happens in your repositories, under your version control and branching conventions.

02

Your workflow

Slack, standups, sprint planning, project board, and code review process. I fit the way your team already runs.

03

Your client relationship

Use your agency email for client-facing communication, or keep me entirely behind the scenes. Your call.

04

Your documentation

Notes and handover material are written for your team, in the format your team already uses.

05

Your confidentiality

I do not publish client work, name clients, or reference an engagement publicly.

How you describe the arrangement to your client is entirely your decision. Some agencies introduce me as a member of the team; some do not mention it. Both are fine.

WHAT I HANDLE

What I take on.

01

Full project builds

A defined scope from kickoff to launch, where you need a developer running the entire technical side.

02

Overflow capacity

Your team is mid-project and a second brief lands. I take the new one so your existing delivery does not slip.

03

Specialist work

React Native, a complex API integration, or technical SEO your generalist team would otherwise spend weeks learning.

04

Rescue projects

An inherited codebase, stalled build, or a previous developer leaving mid-project. I assess honestly before committing.

WHAT THIS COSTS YOU

The commercial case.

A permanent developer only makes financial sense when development demand stays high enough all year. Project-based capacity lets you buy exactly the delivery time the work requires.

Most agencies I work with run between 30% and 50% development utilisation across a year. You quote your client with your margin; I give you a fixed number before the work starts.

AGENCY QUESTIONS

Clear before the first commit.

White-label work only works when the commercial and operational expectations are clear from the start.

Will my client know you're involved?

Only if you tell them. I work in your repo under your process, do not contact clients unless you ask me to, and never reference your projects publicly.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes, as standard. I'll also sign your agency's own agreement rather than insisting on mine.

Can you use our email and tools?

Yes. If client-facing communication is part of the arrangement, I can operate from your domain.

What if we need you again in three months?

Message me. Because I have already worked in your codebase and know your process, the second project starts faster than the first.

Do you work with our existing developers?

Frequently. I fit into your code review process, follow your conventions, and defer to your lead on architectural decisions that outlive the project.

What if the project scope changes mid-build?

We agree a revised number before I do the work, not after. You will never get an invoice you were not expecting.

Do you take on retainers?

I prefer projects with a defined scope, but if you have consistent monthly development volume, a retained arrangement is possible.

Have a project you'd rather not turn down?

Send me the scope and the deadline. I will tell you whether I can deliver it, what it would cost, and if I am not the right fit for it.
