FAQ

White-Label Agency Support Questions

No — we work entirely through your agency, with no direct approach to your clients without permission. You stay the single point of contact.

Yes. We are comfortable signing NDAs before starting any project. Client confidentiality and data security are strictly maintained throughout the engagement.

Structured but flexible — regular updates through your existing process, and long-term availability rather than one-off gigs.

You and your client do, in full, on delivery.

We give a clear estimate before work starts — fixed-price for defined scopes, or hourly/retainer for ongoing work. Rates are agreed per project based on complexity.

Yes — from a first working version through to a full product launch, including publishing apps live on the App Store and Google Play.

Yes — regularly. Messy or undocumented codebases aren't a blocker for us.

Bespoke websites, iOS/Android/hybrid apps, CRMs, ERPs and custom business systems — in PHP, WordPress, CodeIgniter, Laravel, Ionic, React and most modern stacks. If it's custom-built rather than templated, it's likely something we can take on.

We specialise in customisation — the level most in-house teams and generic dev shops can't take on. Our core team has stayed together for 12+ years, so you're not handed off to rotating freelancers project to project.

Yes. We offer monthly support and maintenance retainers that include bug fixes, updates, performance improvements, and technical assistance.

Yes. We can review, maintain, optimize, and extend existing applications built in PHP, CodeIgniter, Laravel, or other supported technologies.

Yes. Based on clear requirements, we can provide fixed-price estimates. For evolving or long-term projects, we also offer milestone-based or flexible engagement models.

Yes. We can join Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams meetings to discuss requirements, demonstrate solutions, answer technical questions and support your project whenever needed.
