technical depth behind another agency
The technical half, without hiring for it.
Design and marketing agencies regularly need development depth they don't want on the payroll. We do that work, to your process, and we're happy to be invisible.
With something urgent. A client site is down, a build has hit a wall, or a developer has left mid-project.
What agencies need from a technical partner.
Mostly about being predictable rather than clever.
Capability you don't have to hire
Platform work and troubleshooting that comes up a few times a year.
Overflow capacity
Say yes to a project that lands while your developers are committed.
Somewhere to escalate the hard ones
The intermittent bug, the failing migration, the week-long performance problem.
Someone who won't embarrass you
Communication safe to forward to your client, including when the news is bad.
Estimates you can quote against
With the uncertainty stated, so your margin survives.
Why these arrangements go wrong.
The agency has a client expectation, the developer has a ticket, and the gap between them turns up at delivery.
Client tells agency, agency paraphrases, developer answers, agency paraphrases back.
Half of an urgent job regularly goes on waiting for hosting credentials nobody has.
What agencies use us for.
Roughly in order of how often the phone rings.
What agencies ask.
Will you talk to our client directly?
Only if you want us to. Plenty of agencies prefer us entirely behind the scenes, and plenty prefer to introduce us as their technical team because it's faster and the client finds it reassuring. Both work. It's your relationship and your call.
Do you have a white-label agreement?
We work behind agencies as a matter of practice and don't approach their clients. Where you want confidentiality or non-solicitation written down, that should be a proper agreement reviewed by your own counsel rather than a claim on a web page.
Can you take an emergency today?
Often. Call rather than emailing. Whether we can start right away depends on what is already committed, and we'll tell you either way.
What if the client's previous developer built it badly?
That's most of what arrives here. We'll give you a straight assessment of what can be salvaged and what can't, in language you can use with the client without it sounding like blame.
