How does the white-label partnership model work in practice?

We operate as your confidential, back-office engineering department. You manage the client relationship, account management, and pricing markup. We handle technical architecture, development, QA testing, and production deployment under your agency's brand or strict non-disclosure agreements (NDA).

How does pricing work for partner agencies?

We quote you a fixed partner rate per scoped sprint before any work starts. You set your own price to the client and keep the margin, and you can package the work as a one-off project or a monthly retainer.

Do we need an in-house technical lead or CTO to work with you?

No. We translate your client's business problems into clear technical architecture specifications, wireframes, and production milestones. You never need to write a line of code or manage complex cloud infrastructure.

Can LookADev participate in client pitch calls if needed?

Yes. Depending on your preference, we can remain 100% invisible behind your agency banner, or join sales scoping calls introduced as your agency's 'Head of Systems Architecture' or technical specialist to help close high-ticket contracts.

Who owns the intellectual property and code repository?

Your agency and your client own 100% of the code, intellectual property, and deployment infrastructure. There are zero proprietary platform lock-ins or hidden recurring license fees.

What happens to our client if LookADev becomes unavailable?

The code sits in your agency's or your client's repository, hosting and API accounts are in their name, and every project ships with a written runbook covering deploy, restart, key rotation and logs. Any developer you choose can take over from it. The NDA includes a non-solicit clause: we never approach or accept work from your clients directly.

How quickly can you start and deliver a client project?

We provide architectural scoping within 48 hours. Working proofs-of-concept and high-fidelity prototypes are delivered in sprints of 7 business days, with full production platforms launching in 2 to 4 weeks.

// THE OPERATIONAL BOTTLENECKS

Where Agencies Hit the Growth Ceiling

Your clients demand custom portals, AI workflows, and software integrations. Turning them away or hiring senior developers kills agency profitability.

REVENUE LEAKAGE

Turning Away Lucrative Software Projects

Clients ask your agency for custom client portals, CRM integrations, or AI receptionists. Because you only do marketing or design, you refer them to outside dev shops and lose the contract.

Impact: The software budget, and often the client relationship, goes to another supplier.

PAYROLL OVERHEAD

The Financial Trap of Hiring In-House Developers

Hiring full-stack senior developers in the UK costs £70k–£90k/year in base salary plus equipment and benefits, regardless of whether client project volume is high or low.

Impact: Crushed agency profit margins and cash flow stress during quiet months.

UNRELIABLE FREELANCERS

Freelance Developers Who Ghost and Write Fragile Code

Outsourcing to cheap freelance platforms leads to missed deadlines, spaghetti code that breaks in production, and frantic damage control with angry clients.

Impact: Severely damaged agency reputation and lost client retainers.
