For agencies

Your client never hears our name.

White-label development for design, brand and marketing agencies. You keep the relationship and stay the agency of record. We build the thing, under your name, to your brief.

The situation

You sell the work. Then it has to get built.

Most agencies we look at list web or app development among their services and have one or two people who could actually do it. That is not a flaw — carrying an engineering bench against uneven demand is expensive, and the alternative is turning work away or pushing a start date. Overflow capacity is the third option.

How it works

Six things worth knowing before you send a brief.

We work under your name

Your client never learns we exist. Documentation, commits and handover come to you, in your conventions, ready to pass on as your own work.

You keep the relationship

We take no part in your client relationship and do not approach your clients — during the work or after it. That is a contract term, not a promise.

You talk to the person building it

Deliberately small, so there is no account manager between you and the work, and nothing is quietly handed to someone junior after the first call.

Start with one small fixed-price piece

Judge the work before committing to anything longer. A fixed price on a defined scope means the first engagement carries a known, bounded risk.

Your stack, or ours

TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Flutter, Docker and AWS are what we reach for. If your client's platform is already chosen, we work in that instead.

Overflow, or the whole build

A single component when a sprint is full, or the entire engineering side of a project while you keep strategy, design and the client. Both are normal.

Before you enquire

The questions agencies actually ask.

Will you approach my client directly?
No, and it is written into the agreement rather than left to good faith. We do not contact your clients, do not put their work in our portfolio without your written permission, and do not name them anywhere. Everything on our own work page is either our own product or published with permission — which is also why some entries carry no client name.
Who actually writes the code?
The person you speak to. Leapforge is deliberately small, so the conversation and the commits belong to the same people. If that ever stops being true on a project, you will be told before it happens, not after.
What if you are busy when I need you?
You get told honestly and early. Capacity that is promised and then missed is worse than capacity that was never offered — an agency that has already committed a date to its own client cannot absorb a surprise. If we cannot take something on, we say so at the point you ask.
How do we start without taking a risk?
One small piece, fixed price, defined scope. It is the cheapest way for both sides to find out whether this works, and it is deliberately structured so that the worst case is a bounded loss rather than a stalled project.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes, yours or ours, before any brief is discussed in detail.
How does the timezone work?
We are in India, UTC+5:30. That is a near-total working-day overlap with Dubai and Singapore, most of the morning with Australia and New Zealand, and our afternoon with the UK and Europe. Work is handed over written up, so a question asked at the end of your day has an answer waiting at the start of it.
What can I see before deciding?
Twenty-two builds, opened and read in full at leapforge.io/work — what each product does, what it was built with, and what the constraint was. There is also a one-page capability sheet at leapforge.io/leapforge-capability.pdf.

Proof

Eight of twenty-two. Open any of them.

What each product does and what it was built with, with the rest at leapforge.io/work. No client names - where work was commissioned the client owns it, which is the rule we would apply to yours.

In plain terms

What white-label development actually means

White-label development is when an agency subcontracts a build to a development partner who works under the agency's name. The agency keeps the client, the contract and the credit; the partner writes the code and stays invisible. For a design, brand or marketing agency that sells websites and applications without carrying a full engineering team, it is the difference between taking a project and turning it down.

It is not the same as hiring a freelancer, and not the same as referring the work to another agency. A freelancer is one person with one set of hours and no cover; referring the work hands your client to someone who now has their own relationship with them. A white-label development partner sits behind you: your client's questions come to you, our answers go through you, and nothing we produce carries our name.

Most of the agencies we work with sell on a platform they have chosen - Webflow, Shopify, WordPress - and hit the edge of it when a client asks for something the platform will not do on its own. A custom Shopify app, an integration into a client's ERP, a portal that has to sit alongside the marketing site. That edge is usually where overflow development capacity earns its place, because it is exactly the work that does not justify a permanent hire.

The alternative to subcontracting a development team is hiring one, and for most agencies under sixty people the maths does not work: demand arrives unevenly, an engineer costs the same in a quiet month as a busy one, and the gap between deciding to hire and having someone productive is measured in months. Buying capacity per project turns a fixed cost into a variable one, and turns a start date you cannot meet into one you can.

Send the brief, or just the shape of it. You get a written scope, a fixed quote for a first piece, and an honest note about anything we think should not be built the way it is currently described.
