Web development for agencies – white-label on request

We are the backend for your agency

You have the clients, the concepts, the design. What's missing is technical capacity? We build it – as a visible partner or entirely in the background. Your call.

Our services as a web development agency

Sound familiar?

Three situations every agency knows – and one simple solution.

Deadline, no dev available

The client is waiting for a quote. Your developer has been booked out for three weeks.

Design done, no one to build it

The concept is signed off, the design approved. You just need someone to build it.

You want to grow

Bigger projects are within reach. But your current capacity won't allow it.

That's exactly why we exist.

As visible as you want us to be

Some agencies introduce us to their clients as their dedicated technical partner. Others prefer that nobody knows we exist. Both work – and you can handle it differently from one project to the next.

Visible as a partner

When being open makes the work easier.

  • We appear to your client as your technical partner
  • Direct three-way coordination where it shortens the path
  • A shared reference, if both sides agree to it
  • You remain the contracting party and lead the project

Entirely in the background

Classic white-label, when that is what you need.

  • No contact with your clients
  • No mention of your agency on our website
  • Documentation and handovers under your name
  • We communicate exclusively with you

Either way:

You keep the client relationship and the contract. We never approach your clients directly – neither during the collaboration nor after it.

No competitor. Your extended arm, as visible or invisible as you need.

Agencies we work with – and who agreed to be named

Technical implementation without risk

We're not a competitor, we're your technical backbone. You keep the client contact, we deliver the development.

The right fit for every agency size

Whether two people or twenty – we adapt to your way of working, not the other way around.

Design Studio

You design, we build. Pixel-perfect implementation from your Figma files – clean, maintainable, on time.

Full-Service Agency

Buffer capacity spikes. Take on more projects without hiring more staff.

SEO & Marketing Agency

Tech isn't your core business? Let us handle it – you keep the client relationship.

Small Web Agency

For projects too big for one person – but too small to justify a full-time hire.

Clear processes, no surprises

We integrate into your workflows – not the other way around. You get a dedicated contact, clear timings and clean documentation.

1

Briefing

You send us the project (design, requirements, deadline).

2

Assessment

We estimate the effort realistically – how fast depends on the scope.

3

Development

We build, you get regular updates.

4

Handover

Clean documentation, test-ready environment.

5

Support

We're here if you have questions, even after launch.

We adapt to you

We work with your tools or bring our own – whatever fits better.

Project management Jira, Asana, Trello, or your system
Communication Slack, Google Chat, email
Meetings Google Meet, Zoom
Code GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket

No risk. Just try it.

Start with a small project. No contract, no commitment – just see if it works.

1

Send a briefing

Describe the project: scope, design, deadline.

2

Quote

We estimate the effort realistically – no surprises.

3

Go

You decide whether to proceed. No pressure.

Reliability isn't a feature – it's the foundation.

No downtime

We have a team, not just one person. Holiday or illness is covered.

Predictable costs

Clear hourly rates, no hidden extras.

Scalable

More projects? We grow with you.

Quality

Clean code, documented, maintainable.

Fair terms, clear calculation

We work on an hourly basis or with fixed-price projects – whichever is more predictable for you. Our rates are structured so your agency margin works.

Hourly basis

Flexible, for ongoing collaboration

Fixed price

Flat fee after briefing, for predictable budgets

Retainer

Fixed monthly hour contingent

Terms are discussed in a personal conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Do we have to work white-label?

No. White-label is an option, not the default. If you prefer, we appear to your client openly as your technical partner – which often shortens the path between question and answer. And you can handle it differently from one project to the next.

How quickly can you start?

Usually within a week. For urgent projects often faster – just ask us.

What is your hourly rate?

Our standard hourly rate is 120 € net. Agencies with a framework agreement get their own terms – talk to us.

How does communication work?

You have a dedicated contact – plus a named stand-in when they are on holiday or ill. Communication runs through your preferred channels – Slack, email, Google Chat, whatever works for you.

Do you also do maintenance?

Yes. We can continue to support projects after launch – updates, bug fixes, small extensions.

Can we try you out?

Yes. Start with a small project and see if the collaboration works. No risk, no commitment.

Do you also work directly with end clients?

Yes, we have our own direct clients. Your projects stay separate from those, and we never approach your clients directly – neither during the collaboration nor after it.

How do you guarantee confidentiality?

We work with NDAs on request. Confidentiality applies whether we are visible or in the background – even when your client knows us, internals stay between you and us.

What happens if a project goes wrong?

We talk about it openly – early, not when it's too late. We don't escalate problems, we solve them.

Client reviews

What our clients say

Straight from our Google Business Profile – quoted verbatim, not filtered by star rating.

How these reviews get here

The reviews come from our Google Business Profile. We pull them through Google's interface from time to time and store them unchanged in this page, rather than querying them on every visit. We do not write the wording ourselves and we do not change it; long texts are shortened for display, with a link to the full review on Google.

Once a project is finished we ask clients for a review. There is nothing in return – no discount, no voucher, no prize draw – and we ask regardless of how happy someone was.

We do not select by star rating. Which individual reviews Google hands over is Google's choice. The average and the total above are the profile's figures as of October 1, 2026 and cover every review, including the ones not shown here.

Whether the reviewers really were our clients we do not verify ourselves – we cannot. Google states that it acts against fake reviews; we have no influence on that.
