Agency Support

Two ways to work with us

Choose reserved monthly capacity for recurring agency work, or request an individual quote for a clearly defined task or project.

Monthly Agency Support

Reserved capacity for recurring work.

A monthly allocation for WordPress maintenance, troubleshooting and development across agreed client websites. Your requests enter a prioritised queue, and you communicate directly with the developer responsible for delivery.

Best suited to agencies with a regular flow of work that needs dependable ongoing capacity.

One-Off White-Label Work

Individually scoped and quoted.

Defined WordPress and WooCommerce tasks can be quoted separately when you do not need a monthly commitment. We confirm the scope, price and expected delivery window before work begins.

One-off work starts from a minimum project fee of £300.

Agency Support Plans

Choose the level of agency capacity you need.

Each plan reserves a defined amount of monthly delivery capacity for agreed WordPress maintenance, support and development.

As the plans increase, so do the available capacity, priority level and range of work we can manage.

Delivered under your agency brand

All work can be delivered under your agency brand. We remain invisible to the end client unless client-facing involvement has been agreed in advance.

A clear process for every request.

Requests move through one shared process, so you always know what is being reviewed, what is in progress and what is coming next.

  1. Send the request

    Submit work through the agreed Slack channel or email address. Include the client website, the desired outcome, its priority and any relevant deadline or background information.

  2. We review and prioritise it

    We assess the request, identify anything missing and place it in the queue according to urgency and support-plan level. Larger tasks are estimated before substantial work begins.

  3. Work is completed with direct communication

    You communicate directly with the developer responsible for delivery. Questions, progress updates and technical decisions are handled without an account-management layer.

  4. You receive a white-label update

    Completed work is accompanied by clear notes suitable for your team or client. Communication uses your agency identity, and direct client involvement only happens when agreed.

How monthly delivery capacity works.

Each plan reserves a defined amount of capacity for your agency every month. That capacity is used for the complete delivery process, not only the time spent writing code.

It can include reviewing requests, technical investigation, planning, development, testing, deployment and communication connected with the work.

Capacity resets each month

Unused capacity does not roll over. Retainers reserve ongoing availability and priority rather than operating as a bank of prepaid hours.

Larger requests are reviewed first

Where a task may use a significant amount of the remaining monthly capacity, we will provide an estimate and agree the approach before proceeding.

Additional work remains possible

When a request exceeds the available capacity, it can be scheduled for the following month, completed using separately quoted additional time or treated as an individual project.

Turnaround times are planning targets

Published turnaround ranges apply to appropriately sized requests where the necessary information, access and decisions have been provided. They are not guaranteed completion times for every request regardless of scope or external dependencies.

Clear visibility over your capacity

You will retain visibility over the capacity used, the work currently in progress and anything waiting in the queue.

One-off white-label WordPress work.

Not every agency needs reserved monthly capacity. We also undertake clearly defined WordPress and WooCommerce work on an individually quoted basis.

This can include bug fixes, landing-page development, plugin and theme changes, performance optimisation, WooCommerce improvements and small-to-medium feature development.

Projects start from a minimum fee of £300. We review the requirement, confirm the scope and provide a fixed quote before work begins.

Where investigation is required before the full scope can be established, we will explain the initial charge, what it covers and what you will receive from it.

Need support beyond WordPress?

We also support Laravel, NextJS, Shopify, headless e-commerce and API work for agencies with broader technical requirements.

Tell us about the project and what you need to achieve. We will review the requirement and explain the most suitable way to work together.

Is This a Good Fit?

Is agency support the right fit?

Agency support is designed for agencies that need dependable WordPress capacity without employing another full-time developer or sourcing a different freelancer for every request.

Agency support works well when:

  • You have recurring WordPress work but not enough to justify another full-time hire.
  • Your agency handles design, marketing or client strategy internally but needs more consistent technical delivery.
  • You need experienced WordPress, WooCommerce or plugin development support across several client accounts.
  • You want one dependable technical partner who becomes familiar with your websites and working process.
  • You need work, updates and communication delivered under your agency brand.

It may not be the right model when:

  • You need a dedicated full-time development team for a large fixed-scope build.
  • You require unlimited work or guaranteed same-day completion across every client website.
  • The majority of the work sits outside WordPress or WooCommerce.
  • Requirements and priorities cannot be agreed through a shared request process.

Where the requirement does not suit a monthly agency plan, we will explain whether a separately quoted project or another delivery arrangement would be more appropriate.

FAQs

Questions about agency support.

The answers below explain how retained capacity, one-off work and white-label delivery operate. We will confirm the practical details for your agency before any agreement or project begins.

The appropriate plan depends on the number of client websites involved, the type and frequency of requests, and how quickly work usually needs to move.

Agency Partner is suited to occasional overflow. Agency Growth Partner provides more consistent monthly capacity, while Agency Retainer Partner is intended for agencies needing embedded technical support across several active client projects.

Tell us about your typical workload and we will recommend the most appropriate starting point.

Monthly capacity covers the complete delivery process connected with submitted work. This can include reviewing and clarifying requests, investigation, planning, development, testing, deployment and communication.

Time spent becoming familiar with a client website or diagnosing an inherited issue also forms part of the delivery work.

No. Unused capacity resets at the end of each monthly period.

The retainer reserves ongoing availability, continuity and priority access rather than operating as a bank of prepaid development hours.

We will explain the likely requirement before substantial work begins.

The work can be scheduled against the following month's allocation, completed using separately quoted additional capacity, or treated as an individually scoped project where that is more appropriate.

Nothing beyond the agreed capacity or quote will be undertaken without approval.

Yes. Urgent requests can be submitted through the agreed communication route and will be reviewed according to severity and plan level.

Higher-level retainers receive greater queue priority and faster triage. Urgent review does not necessarily mean that every issue can be fully resolved on the same day, particularly where access, third-party systems or a wider investigation are involved.

No. The turnaround ranges are planning targets for appropriately sized requests where the necessary information, access and decisions have been provided.

The time required can vary according to scope, complexity, existing website condition and external dependencies. We will flag larger or more involved requests before proceeding.

Work, progress updates and completion notes can be supplied under your agency identity.

We remain behind the scenes unless direct client-facing involvement has been agreed. You retain ownership of the client relationship and decide how completed work is presented to the client.

Only when this has been agreed in advance.

Some agencies prefer all communication to remain internal, while others want us to attend selected technical calls or provide client-facing explanations under their brand. We will agree the boundaries before direct involvement begins.

Access requirements depend on the work requested. They may include WordPress administration, hosting, source control, staging environments, DNS, analytics or relevant third-party platforms.

Access should be shared through an agreed secure method. Passwords should not be sent through ordinary enquiry forms or unprotected email.

Yes. A clearly defined one-off task can be a practical way to establish the working relationship before committing to monthly capacity.

One-off work is scoped and quoted individually, with a minimum project fee of £300. Monthly partners receive priority access to available development capacity.

WordPress and WooCommerce are the main focus of the agency support plans.

We also undertake selected Laravel development, headless commerce work and API integrations. These requirements are reviewed individually so we can recommend the right scope and delivery arrangement.

Agency support begins with an initial three-month term. This gives us enough time to establish the working process, become familiar with the agreed client websites and provide meaningful continuity rather than treating each request in isolation.

After the initial term, the agreement continues on a rolling monthly basis and can be ended with 30 days' written notice.

Agencies that would prefer to experience how we work before beginning a retainer are welcome to start with a separately quoted one-off project.

Tell us how many client websites you manage, the type of work that regularly comes up and how your agency prefers to communicate.

We will review the requirement and recommend either a monthly agency support plan or an individually quoted one-off project.
