White-Label Development Partner for Agencies Your agency owns the client. We handle the engineering.
Localhost Labs works as the engineering team behind marketing, design and digital agencies. You sell and manage the project; we build web apps, custom software, integrations and automation under your agency's name.
NDA by default, no direct client contact unless you ask for it, and delivery inside your tools and deadlines, on a project or monthly contract.
What agencies hand us
- Web applications, client portals and booking systems
- Custom features beyond what WordPress or Shopify can do
- Integrations between CRMs, payment providers and marketing tools
- Automation of client reporting and operations
- Mobile apps that accompany a website you've built
- Ongoing maintenance you resell as a care plan
How the partnership works
- Partner call to understand your agency, clients and the work you want to sell
- NDA signed before you share any client details
- Scoping: requirements, milestones and a fixed price you can mark up
- Build in your Slack or Teams, your project board and your Git organisation
- Milestone demos for you to present to the client
- Launch, documentation and handover; optional monthly support
White-label partner vs freelancer vs hiring
| Freelancer | Hiring in-house | White-label partner | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | One person | Fixed headcount | Scales with your pipeline |
| Skills | Usually one | Whoever you hire | Design, backend, mobile, DevOps |
| Risk if someone leaves | Project stalls | Rehire and retrain | Team covers it |
| Client relationship | Yours | Yours | Yours, under your brand |
| Cost when demand drops | None | Salaries continue | None on project contracts |
Pricing for agencies
Two models: project-based, with a fixed price per milestone so your margin is protected before you quote the client, or a monthly contract for agencies with steady demand or several projects running at once. For context, our own custom software projects typically start at USD 3k–15k+ for the initial build. There's no hourly billing on either model.
What's in the agreement
- Confidentiality covering client names, data and business logic
- IP assignment to your agency or your client
- Non-solicitation: we never approach your clients
- Code and accounts held by you or your client, not us
- Acceptance criteria and a warranty period for bug fixes
Which agencies this suits
White-label partnerships work best for agencies whose clients keep asking for more than a website, but who don't want to carry a full engineering team between projects:
- Design and branding studios whose clients need web apps or portals
- Marketing and SEO agencies asked to automate reporting or integrate tools
- WordPress and Shopify agencies hitting the limits of plugins and themes
- Consultancies that recommend software and want to deliver it too
How we protect your client relationship
Your client relationship is the whole point of a white-label arrangement, so we treat it that way. We don't put our name in the product, in code comments or in emails to your client. We don't approach your clients directly, during or after the project, and that's written into the agreement. If you want us on a call, we join as part of your team.
Getting started with a first project
Most partnerships start with one real client project. That's the fastest way for both sides to see how communication, quality and timing work in practice. After that, agencies with regular demand usually move to a monthly contract so capacity is reserved for them.
Frequently asked questions.
Will my client know you're involved?+
Not unless you tell them. Work is delivered under your agency's name, and we don't contact your client directly unless you ask us to.
Can you join client calls?+
Yes, if you want a technical person on the call. We can join as part of your team.
Do you work with agencies outside Pakistan?+
Yes. We work with agencies in Pakistan and internationally, with billing in USD, GBP or EUR.
What's the smallest project you take?+
Tell us what you have. Small tasks often fit well within a monthly contract rather than a separate project.
Can you work with our existing developers or freelancers?+
Yes. We can take on the parts your team can't cover, such as backend, integrations or mobile, and work in the same repository.
