Questions
principals ask.
The answers we give on a first call, written down so you can read them before you spend one.
How does white-label delivery actually work day to day?
You win the client, own the relationship and put your logo on the work. We build behind your brand and stay out of client surfaces. Under a mutual NDA and a white-label agreement our name does not appear in a proposal, a commit footer, a staging URL or an email signature. Every call, invoice and status update comes from your domain, and what you get from us is forwardable: weekly demos and written updates you can send to your client unedited.
Who talks to the client?
You do, by default. If we join a technical call we join under your brand and speak when you hand us a question. The rules of engagement are worth agreeing before the first project: who joins the call, whose domain sends the update, and what the developer says when a client asks how much something costs or whether we can also build the next thing. Our reflex is to bounce every pricing and scope question straight back to you and never volunteer our own name.
What happens if the client asks to meet the developer?
That is normal on technical work and it is fine. The people in the first technical call are the people doing the work, so there is no account-manager layer relaying questions, and they appear as part of your team. What does not happen is a side conversation: no personal contact details handed over, no direct follow-up, no number quoted in the room.
How do the NDA and IP assignment work?
A mutual NDA and a work-for-hire agreement that assigns all IP to you on payment, plus a written no-poaching clause that we will not approach, accept or solicit your client. We would rather offer that before you ask for it. There is no built-by credit, no proprietary lock-in and no dependency engineered into the delivery: third-party services are registered in your accounts, not ours.
How is scope agreed, and what happens when it changes?
Scope and price are agreed before work starts as one commercial shape, with milestones and a visible finish line, so your margin stays legible. Send the brief and the first thing we produce is a technical scope and a delivery map that turns the rough edges into something you can quote against. When something new comes up mid-build it is raised and priced as a change against that scope rather than absorbed silently, so the number you gave your client and the number you owe us stay in a known relationship.
What does the handoff look like?
A git repository containing the code, a documented deploy path, and every third-party service registered in your name. Not a large zip file and a hosting dependency. QA, documentation and IP transfer are part of the final stage rather than a separate invoice, and continued support is available if you want it rather than required. A partner who calls their deploy scripts proprietary is building a moat out of your dependence, and you should walk.
What happens if a build goes wrong?
The recovery is the part worth judging, not the happy path. Scope creep and a missed detail happen on real projects; what matters is whether they reach you early enough to manage the client, and whether progress is reviewable rather than merely reported. That is why each stage leaves something concrete behind — a delivery map, a fixed estimate, reviewable builds, a clean handoff — so you are never taking our word for where the project actually is.
How does communication work across time zones?
Weekly demos and written updates are the fixed points, so there is something forwardable every week regardless of how much the working days overlap. We match your rhythm, your tools and your client-facing standards rather than asking you to adopt ours, and a new brief gets a scoped reply within one business day.
What do you not do?
White-label is the wrong call for a tiny task you would hand a freelancer, and for a core function that should live inside your agency long-term. We will say so rather than sell you capacity you will not use. We also do not take the client: no poaching, no side conversations, and nothing of ours left in the footer, the code comments or the delivery material.
How do we start small?
With one real but low-stakes client build rather than a throwaway test, because brand discipline and handoff quality are hard to judge from a sales call. Watch the seams: did our name ever surface, did a client question get routed back to you cleanly, did the code arrive as a repository in your accounts. We can join an existing delivery team, own a complete technical workstream, or come in to rescue a difficult build before launch, so a first engagement can be as narrow as you want it.
