White Label Web Development Partner

White Label Web Development That Makes You Look Good

You landed the client. You sold the vision. Now you need someone to build it — fast, clean, and under your brand. That's where we come in.

Social Animal is your silent development partner. We build headless websites using Next.js, Astro, and modern CMS platforms, delivered entirely under your agency's branding. Your clients never know we exist. Every commit, every deployment, every handoff looks like it came from your team.

We work with creative agencies, branding studios, and digital consultancies across the UK and US who need reliable development overflow without hiring full-time developers.

How Our White Label Partnership Works

This isn't a freelancer marketplace or an anonymous offshore team. We're a structured extension of your agency — clear communication, fixed pricing, NDA-protected confidentiality.

The Process

1. You send us the brief. Design files, wireframes, brand guidelines — whatever you've got. Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, PDF napkin sketches. We've seen it all.
2. We scope and quote a fixed fee. No hourly estimates that balloon. No "we'll see how it goes." You get a number, and that's the number.
3. We build under your brand. Git repos in your org, Slack channels with your naming conventions, documentation that reads as internal. Your client-facing team stays in the loop without wrangling developers.
4. We deliver, you deploy. Or we deploy to your infrastructure. Either way, the handoff is clean and the code is documented.

What "Transparent Pricing" Actually Means

Every agency claims transparent pricing. Most bury change request fees on page 47 of their MSA. Here's what we actually do:

• Fixed project fees quoted upfront. A marketing site with 8 pages, CMS integration, and a responsive build? You'll know the exact cost before we write a line of code.
• Revision rounds defined in the scope. Two rounds included in every project. Need more? We'll quote it before it happens.
• No retainer minimums. Use us for one project or twenty. No monthly minimum, no long-term contract, no penalty for quiet months.
• No hidden infrastructure costs. Hosting, CI/CD, CMS licensing — we'll spec it all so you can see every line item. If we recommend Vercel Pro or a Sanity team plan, you'll know exactly why and what it costs.

You mark up our fees however you want. Most partners apply 50–70% margins on our quotes — that's exactly how this should work. We price for developer economics; you price for agency economics.

Why Agencies Partner With Us

Overflow Without Overhead

A senior Next.js developer in the US runs $120,000–$160,000 per year before benefits and tooling. In the UK, you're looking at £65,000–£90,000. Fixed cost whether you have projects or not.

We give you senior-level headless development on demand. Busy quarter? We scale up. Quiet month? You pay nothing. Your margins stay healthy because your costs flex with revenue.

Technical Depth Your Clients Expect

We're not a WordPress theme shop. Our stack is purpose-built for performance, scalability, and editorial flexibility:

• Next.js 14+ with App Router, server components, and ISR for sites that score 95+ on Core Web Vitals
• Astro for content-heavy marketing sites where shipping zero JavaScript actually matters
• Sanity, Contentful, Storyblok, and Payload CMS — we match the CMS to the editorial workflow, not the other way around
• Shopify Hydrogen and Medusa for headless e-commerce builds
• Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare Pages for deployment and edge delivery
• TypeScript everywhere. No exceptions.

Your clients get modern architecture. You get code that's maintainable long after launch.

NDA-Signed Confidentiality

Every partnership starts with a signed NDA. We don't list you as a client. We don't reference your projects in our portfolio unless you explicitly opt in. Your Slack messages, your client names, your project details — all protected.

We've worked with agencies serving Fortune 500 clients with strict vendor disclosure requirements. We know how to stay invisible.

Who This Is For

Creative and Branding Agencies

You do the strategy, identity, and design. You need a dev team that can translate Figma files into production code without diluting the creative vision. We build pixel-accurate implementations with the animation and interaction fidelity your designers actually expect.

Digital Marketing Agencies

You're managing SEO, paid media, and conversion optimisation. You need landing pages and marketing sites built fast, built right, and built for performance. We deliver clean semantic HTML, proper schema markup, and sub-second load times — the kind that actually move your clients' metrics.

Consultancies and Freelancers

You're a one-person or small-team operation punching above your weight. You need enterprise-grade development without the enterprise-grade payroll. We slot in behind your brand and make you look like a much bigger operation than you are.

What You Get

• Fixed-fee project quotes with detailed scope documents
• Dedicated project lead — one person who knows your project inside out
• Code delivered in your repositories with your conventions
• Documentation your team (or your client's team) can actually use
• Post-launch support included for 14 days after deployment
• Ongoing maintenance plans available at transparent monthly rates
• White-glove onboarding for your first project so we learn your workflow properly

Our Pricing Structure

We quote per project, not per hour. Here's what typical engagements look like:

Project Type	Typical Range	Includes
Marketing site (5-10 pages)	£3,000 – £8,000	CMS integration, responsive, deployment
E-commerce storefront	£8,000 – £20,000	Product pages, cart, checkout, CMS
Web application	£12,000 – £35,000+	Auth, dashboards, API integrations
Landing page sprint	£800 – £2,000	Single page, CMS-editable, fast turnaround

Every quote includes a line-item breakdown. You see exactly what you're paying for. If scope changes, we re-quote before touching any additional work.

Getting Started

Send us a brief. It doesn't need to be polished — a Loom video, a Figma link, a bullet-point email. We'll review it, ask smart questions, and send back a fixed-fee proposal within 48 hours.

No sales calls unless you want one. No pressure. Just a clear quote you can mark up and present to your client with confidence.
