WHAT WE DO / FOR AGENCIES

White-label .NET and CMS development.
Your design. Your client.

Outsourced .NET development for design and marketing agencies that win website projects but need a .NET or CMS developer to build them. You keep the client relationship and the brand; we build the content management, database and functionality behind the design.

Long-running agency partnerships.

Most of our work over the past 15 years has been delivered through other agencies. Since 2010 we have worked with Cybase & Rapid Technologies on more than ten client projects, including a car-rental booking system and an internal insurance claims database that are still running and supported today.

We have also built CMS and database work behind multilingual websites for Lime Creative, implementing the agency's supplied designs in English, Chinese and Russian.

Where we fit in.

You might have the design, the client and the project management, but not a developer who works with .NET, a headless CMS or an existing ASP.NET application. We can build a new website from your designs, add a CMS so your client can update content, or take over technical support for a site that is already live.

  • CMS website development from your Figma, PSD or HTML designs
  • Headless .NET CMS setup with editing shaped around your client
  • Custom functionality: listings, bookings, records and integrations
  • Support and changes for existing .NET websites and applications
  • Sitecore and Optimizely (formerly Episerver) work, drawing on professional experience

FROM AN AGENCY WE WORK WITH

“We’ve worked with Abaca Digital since 2010 on more than ten client projects, from the Isle of Man Rent a Car booking system to the T&N claims database. They build the CMS and database work behind our clients’ websites, and several of those systems are still running and supported today. Having a development partner who knows our projects that well has been invaluable.”

HOW A WHITE-LABEL PROJECT WORKS

Clear responsibilities
before the build starts.

01 / BRIEF

Share the design and scope.

Send the designs, page list, CMS requirements and any integrations. We confirm what is included, what your client supplies and how changes will be handled.

02 / BUILD

We develop under your brand.

We work to your project plan and communicate through you. Your client sees your agency; we do not contact them unless you ask us to.

03 / REVIEW

You review before your client does.

Agreed review stages let you check layouts, CMS editing and functionality before presenting the website to your client.

04 / SUPPORT

Ongoing technical support.

After launch we can stay on as your technical contact for fixes, updates and new features, so the knowledge of the build stays with the project.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

A useful agency brief.

Final or near-final designs, the pages and content types the client will edit, any languages, and the systems the website must connect to. Tell us who hosts the website and who owns the domain and accounts.

For an existing website, we need source access and details of the hosting and database before estimating changes. Please do not send passwords in a first email.

FAIR EXPECTATIONS

Capacity and confidentiality.

We take on a limited number of projects at a time, so we agree timelines before work starts rather than promising same-day turnaround. Project details and client information stay confidential, and we are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Our portfolio only shows agency-delivered work where the agency has agreed, and it labels it clearly as delivered through another agency.

AGENCY QUESTIONS

Before you get in touch.

Will our client know you built the website?+

Not unless you want them to. We work under your agency's name and communicate through you. If you would like us on a call with your client, for example to discuss integrations, we can join as part of your team.

Do you work from designs made by our designers?+

Yes. Most of our agency work has been built from designs supplied by the agency. We agree which parts the client can edit and how components behave before implementation.

Which CMS do you use?+

We build on .NET, including our own headless .NET CMS, and can work on existing Sitecore and Optimizely projects. Tell us what your client already uses and we will discuss whether to keep it.

How is pricing agreed?+

Per project, based on the designs, CMS requirements, functionality and support you need. Ongoing support can be agreed separately once the website is live.
