For agencies

White-Label Laravel Development for Agencies

Senior Laravel and Vue capacity under your name. I take the builds, rescues, and upgrades your team doesn't have room for, work under NDA inside your process, and you keep the client relationship. One principal architect, US-based, no handoffs.

What agencies hand me
Overflow buildA Laravel + Inertia app your team scoped but can't staff this quarter.
RescueThe developer left, the launch is in six weeks, and nobody knows the codebase.
UpgradeLaravel 6 to 12, Vue 2 to Vue 3, PHP 7.4 to 8.3, without a rewrite.
IntegrationStripe billing, HubSpot sync, Twilio workflows, a third-party API that fights back.
MigrationA client stuck on Yii, CodeIgniter, or a custom PHP framework.
/ Who it's for

Agencies that sell the outcome and need someone who can build it.

Design studios, marketing agencies, and small dev shops all hit the same wall: a client project that needs real backend engineering, and a bench that is either full or front-end only. Hiring takes months. Offshore is a coin flip. The junior you have can't own it alone.

  • Design and marketing agencies that win a web app or portal project and need the engineering side delivered properly.
  • Dev shops at capacity that would rather subcontract a senior than turn away a good client or overload the team.
  • Agencies with a WordPress or Shopify core whose clients occasionally need a custom Laravel application alongside it.
  • Teams inheriting someone else's Laravel app who need a senior audit and a steady hand before they promise the client anything.
/ How the engagement works

Your process, your tools, your name on the work.

NDA and white label

I sign your NDA before anything is shared. Work happens in your Git, your tickets, and your staging. Deliverables, docs, and commits carry your agency's identity.

You own the client

The client relationship, the invoicing, and the account are yours. I join client calls only when you ask, and then as part of your team.

Communication you can forward

Written updates at a cadence you set, plain-English status a project manager can paste into a client email, and no surprises on scope.

Senior only

You get a principal architect, not a pool. Architecture, code, tests, deploys, and the explanation of why, from the same person every time.

US-based, same-day

Eastern time, business-hours overlap with every US agency. Urgent issues get a human the same day, not a ticket in another time zone.

Handoff by default

Every project ends with documentation and a codebase your team, or the next developer, can pick up. I build for the handoff, not for lock-in.

/ Rates model

Priced so you can mark it up without a spreadsheet.

Two ways to work: a fixed price per scoped phase when the work is defined, or a monthly retainer of reserved hours when you need capacity on tap. Both come with a written quote before anything starts, and invoices that are simple to pass through.

ModelBest for
Fixed-price phaseA scoped build, rescue, or upgrade with a clear finish line. You quote your client with confidence.
Monthly retainerOngoing capacity: reserved hours each month, priority scheduling, and a senior on call for your Laravel clients.
AuditA short, fixed-fee review of an inherited codebase before you commit to a client estimate.
/ Process

From intro call to shipped and handed off.

  1. 01

    Intro call

    Free · 30 minutes

    You describe the project or the problem; I tell you honestly whether it is a fit, what it would roughly take, and what I would need from your team.

  2. 02

    NDA and scope

    Days, not weeks

    NDA signed, access granted, scope written up as phases with a fixed price or retainer terms. You forward the plan to your client under your name.

  3. 03

    Build and report

    Weekly cadence

    Work happens in your repos and tools with written updates at the cadence you set. Staging deploys you can demo to the client.

  4. 04

    Launch and handoff

    Documentation included

    Production deploy, monitoring, and a handoff doc. Stay on retainer for support, or your team takes it from here.

/ FAQ

Questions agencies ask

Will your name appear anywhere?

No. I work under NDA, in your repositories, your project management tool, and your Slack if you want. Commits, documentation, and deliverables carry your agency's name. Your client never needs to know I exist.

Do you talk to our clients?

Only if you want me to, and only as part of your team. Some agencies put me on technical calls as "our senior architect"; most keep the client relationship entirely on their side and I work through a project lead.

What stack do you cover?

Laravel (any version from 5.x up, including upgrades), Vue 2 and 3, Inertia.js, MySQL, AWS, Laravel Forge, plus the integrations that keep coming up: Stripe, HubSpot, Twilio, and legacy PHP frameworks such as Yii.

How do you charge?

Fixed price per scoped phase, or a retainer of reserved hours per month for agencies that need ongoing capacity. You get a quote before work starts and an invoice that is easy to mark up.

Can you take over a project another developer left?

Yes. Rescues are a large share of what agencies bring me: a Laravel app with no tests and one departed developer, a Vue 2 frontend that needs to move to Vue 3, or a launch date the current team cannot hit. I start with a short audit so you know what you are asking your client to fund.

Where are you and when are you available?

Carolina Beach, North Carolina, US Eastern time. I keep normal business-hours overlap with US agencies and respond the same day. No offshore handoffs, no time-zone lag on urgent issues.

Have a project that needs a senior Laravel developer this month?

Tell me what it is and when it's due. You'll get a straight answer on fit, timeline, and price within a business day.
