Clapham Digital · for agencies

Your brand, your client, my work

Plenty of what I build never has my name on it. That is the point. I don’t pitch your clients, and I don’t sign the footer.


One senior developer, not a queue

Agencies bring me in white-label to build, migrate, fix, audit and maintain under their brand, and the client relationship stays theirs. One senior developer in the US, not a team in another time zone. The person you brief is the person who does the work.

I can sit on the client call as your developer, under your brand, if you want a senior voice in the room.


Why agencies use me

  • I’ve been on the other side of your worst day.I spent years at the hosting end of enterprise WordPress, taking the calls when a site was slow, down or broken after an update. I’d rather make you look good than make you explain me.
  • Enterprise scale.I’ve led development and support across hundreds of client sites at an agency.
  • Nothing lives in my head.The code goes in your repos, the logins stay in your vault, and everything gets written down. If I get hit by a bus, your client doesn’t notice.
  • Reviewed work.Every significant change I make is reviewed by independent AI models from different makers plus deterministic checks before I sign off. That is AI-assisted speed without the unreviewed-code debt.

The work bulk vendors fumble

The cheap per-site plans run automated updates and a ticket queue. That is fine until something actually breaks. I take the senior-only jobs: rescues, host and server problems, custom plugin fixes, ugly migrations, performance. And when a client asks “can we get off WordPress?”, I can do that too (moving off WordPress).


Rate and blocks

  • $110 an hour, no minimum.Billed in the time actually worked, with an estimate up front.
  • Pre-paid blocks, for steady work.10 hours for $1,050, 20 hours for $2,000, 40 hours for $3,800. That is $105, $100 and $95 an hour: a real discount for steady work.

There are no per-site tiers on purpose. You tell me what each client needs and I do it.


A fixed-price audit you can resell

If you want a number before you commit to anything, this is it: my Deep audit, under your own name, at an agency rate, with a report your client can read.

  • $995 for one site, up to about 30 pages. Larger sites are quoted.My public price for this audit is $1,500, so you can resell it at retail and keep the margin. The price is agreed before I start.
  • What’s in it.The same scope as the Deep audit on my audits page, which lists everything I look at. Security, performance, and an exposed-data check: is anything public that shouldn’t be.
  • What you get.A written report your client can read without you translating it, and a walkthrough call.
  • Fixes are quoted separately.At $110 an hour, estimated up front. The audit doesn’t commit you to them.
  • Other sizes.My Basic and Whole-business audits are available at agency rates too. Ask.
  • Accessibility, if you want it.A manual WCAG 2.2 AA pass is an add-on. Ask and I’ll quote it.

What I take on

  • Builds.Custom themes and plugins, the block editor, WooCommerce.
  • Migrations.Thousands done, including WordPress.com and VIP to managed hosting.
  • Maintenance and care.Updates, backups, monitoring, fixes.
  • Rescues and breakage triage.See WordPress rescue.
  • Performance.Profiling, caching, load testing with my own tool. See audits and speed.
  • Accessibility audits and fixes.WCAG 2.2 AA, tested by hand, fixed in the code.
  • AI workflows.For your agency or its clients.

Honest hours

I’m one person in Eastern Time. I answer within one business day, weekdays. I won’t promise 24/7 or a 30-minute response, and anyone who does is selling you a queue.


How it works

  1. Send me one site. I’ll send back what is wrong with it and what fixing it takes. A free trial run of how I work.
  2. We agree on scope and rate.
  3. I work in your tools. Your repo, your ticketing, your Slack. Your brand on every client-facing touchpoint.
  4. You get a written handoff for every job.

Common questions

Will you contact my client directly?
Only if you ask me to, and then as part of your team.

Do you sign an NDA and a non-solicit?
Yes. It is a top agency worry and it should be. Send yours, or I’ll send mine.

Where are you?
Columbus, Ohio, US time zones.

Can you maintain sites we didn’t build?
Yes. Most of my career has been other people’s sites.

What if I only need overflow help sometimes?
That is what hourly is for. If it becomes regular, a pre-paid block is cheaper.
