Developer and agency support · remote, by arrangement
Specialist help when your build needs it.
A remote session, a written review of your code, a small task done for you, or ongoing cover. For developers and agencies who need specialist input on a build, quoted to the job and white-label on request.
What we help with
The parts of a build that need a specialist.
This is the work we do on our own sites and the sites we run for clients, so it is what we can help you with.
-
Astro and Vercel builds
Static-first Astro sites on Vercel: what to prerender and what to run as a function, functions pinned to a region, and a build that fails on the things that matter.
-
Content Security Policy and security headers
Hashed or nonce-based policies that hold without breaking the site, the headers that go with them, and the inline scripts and handlers that have to go first.
-
Structured data and technical SEO
JSON-LD graphs that hang together, canonicals, sitemaps with honest dates, and crawl and indexing problems traced to their cause.
-
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint and layout shift: fonts, images and scripts, measured before and after.
-
Accessibility fixes
Focus, keyboard paths, forms, contrast, forced colours and reduced motion, worked through against WCAG 2.2 AA.
-
Forms into a CRM
Enquiry pipelines that keep a lead if either the inbox or the CRM takes it, with a path that works without JavaScript. Odoo is the one we run ourselves.
-
DNS for websites, and moves to Astro
Pointing a domain, redirects that keep search traffic, and moving a site to Astro from another framework, without breaking the email that shares the domain.
How the help comes
Four shapes, each quoted.
Pick the one that fits, or tell us the problem and we will suggest one. Read the guide to white-label support and AI-built sites, or set up your own editor and agent the way we do with the AI coding workspace guide.
-
A remote session
We look at it with you on a screen share through our own remote-support relay, arranged in advance.
-
A written review
Of a repository or a pull request: what we found, why it matters and what to change, in order of importance.
-
A small task
One scoped job done for you and handed back for your review, so it fits your project the way you work.
-
Ongoing cover
Specialist time each month for questions, reviews and fixes, agreed in advance in the quote.
Working with agencies
Your client stays yours.
-
White-label, or named
We can work under your name and stay out of sight of your client, or be named as your specialist. You choose, and the brief form asks.
-
An NDA on request
If you need a confidentiality agreement in place before we see the code or the client, say so and we will sign one first.
-
The least access that does the job
Read access to a repository where that is enough, write access only for a task that needs it, or a screen share if you would rather we saw nothing else. Whatever we were given is removed when the work ends.
How it works
From where you are stuck to work handed back.
The work is remote and arranged in advance. Business email goes to our sibling practice, Dacros (opens in a new tab), and so does a security review of an app.
-
Tell us what you are working on
The stack, where you are stuck, whether it is for a client, and how we can see the work. The brief form asks each of these.
-
A written quote
Quoted to the job, valid for 30 days, and nothing starts until you accept it. Sessions are arranged in our opening hours.
-
The work, then access removed
We do what was agreed, hand it back, and take ourselves off whatever we were given access to.
Proof
Builds that show the work.
Client work and our own, each marked as which. Each case study sets out how the site is built.
-
Client · Education and charity
Brother Sylvester
When the store and Academy closed, we rebuilt Brother Sylvester's site on Astro: 92 stories, a history library and school bookings, with every old address kept.
-
Client · Local services and repair
AS Frames
A new site for a Leeds picture framer with twenty-five years at the bench: big claims replaced with evidence, his reviews quoted as written, every job quoted.
-
Client · Food and hospitality
Perfect Prep
Past work: a site for a family-run halal meal-prep and catering business, with 28 postcode pages, five catering lines and honest delivery coverage.
Questions
Developer support, answered plainly.
-
Which stacks do you work on?
Our specialist ground is Astro on Vercel, and the standards work that applies to any site: security headers, structured data, Core Web Vitals, accessibility and forms. For another stack, tell us what it is and we will say straight whether we are the right people.
-
Can you work under our agency's name?
Yes. White-label is available on request: we work through you, stay out of sight of your client, and keep everything we see confidential, with an NDA first if you want one.
-
Do you do security reviews of apps?
Not here. A security review of an app, including one built with AI tools, is the specialism of our sibling practice, Dacros. We look after the website side: headers, policies and the forms.
-
Can you help over a remote session?
Yes. You run the RustDesk program and read us a one-time code; we can then see your screen and use your keyboard and mouse while you watch, and you can end the session at any moment. Sessions are encrypted end to end through our own relay in France, and we do not record them.
