The work your team can't staff this month.
Four ways agencies use us. Each one is quoted as a fixed price you can mark up, and each one goes out under your name.
Creative engineering
Marketing sites built to your designer's file, in WordPress or a modern framework. Custom web applications and workflow platforms for clients whose operations have outgrown spreadsheets. Native iOS and Android apps in Flutter. Integrations with the systems a client already runs, such as a CRM, an accounting platform or a tourism listings feed. AI features when a client asks for them.
We don't take e-commerce builds.
- Build a set of approved comps into a WordPress site.
- Add data-driven pages to a live client site: directories, filters, a map, and a nightly import from the client's own data.
- Rescue and harden a WordPress site someone else built.
- A custom operations platform with companion mobile apps, for a client who first came to you for a website.
Design production
Identity systems, print and collateral, signage, vehicle wraps and trade-show graphics, website and app UI design, and hand-drawn illustration. Your creative director sets the direction. Andréa carries it out at a senior level and hands back build-ready, print-ready files.
She can hold a system across dozens of pieces. A summer camp organization has had her on its booklets, signage, stationery and a trailer wrap since she became its head graphic designer in 2007.
- Overflow production when your studio is full: adaptations, resizes and layouts from your templates.
- A logo and identity system for a client your team has already positioned.
- Print: annual reports, booklets, newsletters, stationery.
- Environmental: signage, vehicle wraps, trade-show booths.
- Website and app UI, designed for Steven or your own developer to build.
Together
For agencies without an in-house studio, or with one that's booked solid. Andréa designs, Steven builds, and the person who drew it checks the build. You get one proposal and one invoice.
We've worked this way inside one agency before. Andréa designed a heavy-equipment client's website. Steven has been the technical hand on that account since 2019, and he built the company its operations platform.
- A website designed and built, with print pieces that match it.
- A mobile app with its interface designed by Andréa and the app built by Steven.
Care your clients pay you for
The same care we sell as Beacon: updates applied and checked by hand, hardening, the host's backups verified, round-the-clock uptime and security monitoring, and free cleanup if a covered site is hacked. You bill the client at your price under your name, and we do the work. On custom platforms we build for you, maintenance is quoted with the build.
Agency rate on request.
- Monthly care on sites we built for you.
- Care after a rescue, on a site someone else built.
- Maintenance on a custom platform, priced in the original proposal.
Not sure which one the job needs?
Send the brief, even a rough one. We'll tell you which of us it needs, or whether it needs both.
