How I Work With Agencies
Agencies don’t need another freelancer to manage. They need someone who understands deadlines, quality expectations, and client pressure — and delivers without adding risk.
I support agencies by taking ownership of:
- Custom WordPress design and development
- Performance-focused builds that hold up after launch
- Clean, maintainable code that other developers can work with
- Hosting, security and on-going maintenance
- Clear communication with PMs and designers
- White-label delivery when required
I’m comfortable working:
- Behind the scenes or client-facing
- From your designs or collaboratively from scratch
- As a one-off delivery partner or a longer-term extension of your team
The emphasis is always on predictable delivery, low friction, and work you’re confident putting your name on.
The Benefit to Your Agency
- Extra development capacity without hiring
- Fewer technical headaches post-launch
- Cleaner handoffs between teams
- Reduced risk on WordPress projects
- A partner who understands agency realities
You stay focused on strategy, clients, and growth, I make sure the WordPress side is handled properly.

FAQs
WordPress for Agenciesd FAQs
I aim to make working together as smooth and predictable as possible. Here are answers to a few common questions from agency partners.
What types of agencies do you typically work with?
I primarily work with web, design, marketing, and product agencies that deliver WordPress sites for clients and need reliable development support.
Do you work with agencies long-term or only on individual projects?
Both. Some agencies engage me for one-off builds; others treat me as an ongoing extension of their team.
Are you comfortable working behind the scenes (white-label)?
Yes. I regularly work white-label and can remain completely invisible to the end client if required.
Can you also work client-facing if needed?
Yes — I’m happy to join calls, respond to client questions, or collaborate directly where that helps the project.
Are NDAs a problem?
Not at all. NDA-based work is common when partnering with agencies.
What kind of WordPress work do you handle for agencies?
Custom WordPress design and development, performance-focused builds, rebuilds, replatforms, hosting, security and ongoing maintenance/technical support.
Do you build from agency designs?
Yes. I frequently build from Figma, Sketch, or XD designs and focus on accuracy, responsiveness, and maintainability.
Do you offer design as well as development?
Design can be included when needed, but many agencies bring their own design work and rely on me for development.
Do you use page builders or pre-made themes?
No. I build custom themes using WordPress best practices, prioritising performance and long-term stability.
Can you work on existing or inherited WordPress sites?
Very rarely. As a rule, I only work on my own website builds, although longer-term and multi-site projects can require temporary maintenance of old websites during an interim period.
How do you typically integrate into an agency workflow?
I work with your existing tools and processes, communicating clearly with PMs, designers, or technical leads.
How involved do you need us to be during development?
Clear input at the start and feedback at review points is usually sufficient. The goal is minimal overhead for your team.
How do you handle timelines and delivery?
Timelines are agreed upfront based on scope, with clear milestones to avoid surprises.
Do you provide staging environments and review links?
Yes. Staging and structured review are standard parts of how I work.
How do you ensure builds are stable and maintainable?
Through clean code, sensible architecture, careful plugin choices, and deliberate update practices.
What happens after launch?
Agencies can hand the site off, or continue with maintenance, hosting, or strategic support — depending on the engagement.
Do you support sites after launch?
Absolutely! I can provide hosting, security, software maintenance and ongoing website itteration & management.
How do you reduce risk for agency projects?
By keeping scope clear, avoiding fragile solutions, communicating early, and building with long-term stability in mind.
Are the sites you build SEO-ready?
Yes. Clean markup, performance foundations, and sensible structure are included as standard.
Do you handle SEO strategy or CRO for agency clients?
Yes — but as strategic direction services, separate from development execution.
Do you optimise for performance and Core Web Vitals?
Yes. Performance is considered throughout the build, not bolted on later.
How do you price agency work?
Pricing is based on scope, complexity, and timelines. I’m transparent and clear upfront.
Do you offer agency retainers or ongoing capacity blocks?
In some cases, yes — particularly for agencies with consistent WordPress needs.
Do you invoice agencies or clients directly?
Typically agencies, but this can be adjusted depending on the engagement.
What time zone do you work in?
I’m based in Toronto (Eastern Time) and regularly work with agencies globally.
Can you collaborate with in-house developers or freelancers?
Yes. I’m comfortable working alongside existing teams.
What happens if priorities change mid-project?
Changes are discussed openly and scoped appropriately — no surprises.
What’s the best way to start working together?
A short alignment conversation to confirm fit, scope, and expectations.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. Engagements are shaped around project needs.
What makes you different from other WordPress freelancers?
I focus on reliability, clarity, and long-term quality, not just getting something out the door.
