When your agency needs additional Umbraco capacity
White-label Umbraco development is most useful when an agency has already identified a delivery constraint but does not want to make a permanent hire or hand the client relationship to another supplier. The arrangement can cover one technical workstream, an inherited backlog or a complete project.
01
You have won the project, but lack delivery capacity
You retain the commercial relationship, strategic direction and account ownership while iConnect provides the additional Umbraco delivery capability. We can support a defined workstream or take responsibility for the technical delivery of the project under an agreed white-label arrangement.
02
Your team needs a specialist skill set
Bring in Umbraco, .NET, frontend, integration or QA capability for the parts your internal team cannot cover. This can help when a project includes an unfamiliar version, a complex integration, a demanding release plan or a temporary gap in your permanent team.
03
Your backlog is putting timelines at risk
Add flexible capacity for builds, upgrades, integrations, testing, remediation or release preparation. Work can be organised around a prioritised backlog, an agreed sprint plan or defined milestones, with progress and blockers reported through your existing delivery process.
04
An existing project needs a controlled takeover
We begin with technical discovery rather than making assumptions about the inherited solution. The review can cover the codebase, Umbraco version, packages, integrations, hosting setup, deployment process, known defects and outstanding backlog before a practical delivery plan is agreed.
Your client remains your client.
White-label delivery only works when roles and boundaries are explicit. Before sensitive information or system access is shared, the agency and delivery partner should agree confidentiality, client contact, ownership, approvals and handover. These operating rules protect the agency while giving the technical team enough clarity to deliver responsibly.
Agency relationship protected
01
Confidentiality agreed before access
Where required, confidentiality terms can be agreed before briefs, credentials, code or commercially sensitive client information are shared.
02
Relationship boundaries in writing
Client ownership, non-solicitation expectations and the limits of the engagement should be recorded in the final commercial agreement.
03
Agency-controlled communication
You decide who can contact the end client, which meetings iConnect may join, how team members are introduced and which channels are used.
04
Ownership and handover defined
Code ownership, repository access, documentation, credentials, reusable components and handover responsibilities are agreed before delivery begins.
A delivery model that fits your agency
You stay in control of the client relationship. Choose a model based on how much direct collaboration the project requires, then document how communication, reporting, approvals and representation will work.

07
Technical remediation
Focused work on performance, security, maintainability, package compatibility and recurring defects before they disrupt delivery.
08
QA & release support
Functional and regression testing, issue triage, deployment assistance, release checks, documentation and agreed post-launch support.
Add capacity in the way that suits the work
Choose the commercial structure that matches the predictability, duration and ownership of the requirement. The proposal should make capacity, responsibilities, reporting, assumptions, change control and approval rules visible before work is booked.
For irregular demand
PAYG development
Use PAYG capacity for defined tasks, fixes, technical investigation or a smaller backlog where demand is irregular. Work is estimated and prioritised before delivery, with the billing unit, minimum booking and approval process confirmed in the proposal.
For recurring delivery
Retained capacity
Reserve an agreed amount of delivery capacity each month for recurring improvements, support and planned backlog work. The retainer should define capacity, prioritisation, reporting, response expectations and the treatment of unused time.
For defined outcomes
Fixed-scope project
Use a fixed-scope model when the outcome, dependencies and acceptance criteria can be defined with reasonable confidence. Deliverables, exclusions, responsibilities, milestones, change control and commercial terms are documented before work begins.
For an existing team
Team extension
Add named or role-based capacity for a planned period within your existing team. The onboarding agreement establishes management responsibility, expected availability, ceremonies, review standards, reporting and the notice required to change capacity.

How white-label delivery works
Before development begins, the relationship, workflow and responsibilities are made clear. The exact sequence can be adapted to the agency, but it should always provide control over access, scope, technical decisions, quality and release approval.
1
Step 01
Protect
Agree confidentiality, relationship boundaries, client-contact rules, ownership, responsibilities and the commercial model before sensitive access is shared.
2
Step 02
Review
Assess the brief or inherited codebase, required skills, Umbraco version, packages, integrations, environments, dependencies, risks and realistic delivery timeline.
3
Step 03
Onboard
Set up controlled access to repositories, environments, documentation and delivery tools. Confirm coding standards, branching rules, review ownership, reporting and escalation contacts.
4
Step 04
Deliver
Work through agreed sprints, milestones or prioritised tasks. Progress, decisions, time usage, scope changes and blockers are made visible through the agency’s chosen reporting rhythm.
5
Step 05
Release
Complete the agreed code review and QA checks, support release approval and deployment, resolve release issues, and provide the documentation and handover included in scope.
We fit into your existing delivery environment
Your agency should not have to abandon a working process to add Umbraco capacity. We can onboard into agreed repositories, environments, standards, task management and communication rules. Access should follow least-privilege principles, and technical decisions, blockers, time usage and scope changes should remain visible to the agency throughout delivery.

Is iConnect the right white-label partner for your agency?
Good white-label partnerships depend on a genuine delivery need, defined ownership and shared expectations. The initial conversation should establish the required capability, likely duration, start date, decision-makers, access constraints and the extent of any client-facing role before either party commits.
Likely a strong fit
- You are a UK agency with an active or upcoming Umbraco requirement
- You need specialist capacity without making a permanent hire
- You want to retain ownership of the client relationship
- You need developers who can work within an existing process
- You expect repeat, retained or properly scoped project work
Let’s clarify first
- Your scope, budget or required skill set is not yet defined
- The required start date is immediate or immovable
- The supported Umbraco version needs to be confirmed
- You require emergency or out-of-hours availability
- The client-facing role or communication boundaries are unclear
Questions agencies usually ask before engaging
These answers explain the intended operating model and help agencies evaluate fit. Contractual commitments, supported environments, availability, pricing and response expectations must still be confirmed in the final proposal and engagement terms.
What does white-label Umbraco development mean?
White-label Umbraco development means an external specialist delivers some or all of the technical work while your agency retains the client relationship and presents the service under its own brand. The arrangement can range from completely invisible delivery to an embedded or selectively client-facing role. Visibility, communication, responsibilities, ownership and confidentiality should all be agreed before the project starts.
Can your developers work under our agency’s brand?
They can work within an agreed agency representation model. Depending on the engagement, iConnect may remain entirely behind the scenes, use agency-approved communication, or join selected meetings as part of the wider delivery team. The exact introduction, email, meeting and documentation rules need to be confirmed during onboarding.
Will you communicate directly with our client?
Only through the communication model agreed with your agency. Some agencies want every interaction to pass through their account or project lead. Others want a technical specialist to join discovery, demonstrations or delivery meetings. Access can be limited by person, channel, meeting type or project stage, and your agency remains responsible for approving any change.
Do you sign NDAs and non-solicitation agreements?
Confidentiality and relationship-protection terms can be discussed before detailed project information is shared. The final NDA, non-solicitation expectations, duration, exclusions and legal wording must be reviewed and agreed by both parties. The website should not replace the signed engagement documents.
Who owns the code and project deliverables?
Ownership is defined in the engagement terms. The agreement should cover source code, repositories, documentation, design assets, credentials, reusable components, third-party licences and the handover required at completion. Where the agency provides an existing repository or codebase, access levels and contribution rules are agreed during onboarding.
Can you work within our existing repository and project tools?
Yes, where access and tooling requirements are agreed. Onboarding can establish repositories, branching and pull-request rules, coding standards, task-management tools, documentation, environments, reporting cadence and escalation contacts. iConnect should adapt to a sound existing process rather than forcing the agency to rebuild its workflow.
Which Umbraco versions can you support?
Supported versions depend on the work required and the condition of the current solution. The initial review should confirm the installed Umbraco version, .NET requirements, packages, custom code, hosting environment and viable upgrade path. For current planning, the page should reflect Umbraco 17 as the current LTS and Umbraco 18 as available, while giving careful attention to projects moving forward from version 13.
Can you take over an existing Umbraco project?
Yes, but a controlled takeover should begin with technical discovery. This provides visibility into code quality, environments, packages, integrations, deployment access, known defects, security or performance risks, documentation gaps and the outstanding backlog. Findings can then be converted into a prioritised delivery plan rather than an unreliable estimate based only on the original brief.
Do you offer PAYG, retained and fixed-scope delivery?
The appropriate model depends on how predictable and continuous the work is. PAYG suits defined irregular tasks, retained capacity suits recurring backlog delivery, and fixed scope suits work with clear requirements and acceptance criteria. Team extension may be appropriate when capacity is needed inside an existing delivery structure. Minimum bookings, capacity, reporting, rollover and urgent-work terms should be confirmed in the proposal.
How are quality assurance and releases handled?
QA responsibility is agreed at the start so there is no gap between agency, developer and client expectations. The delivery plan can include peer review, functional testing, regression checks, acceptance criteria, environment checks, release support and post-release verification. The agency retains the agreed approval authority, and the handover records what was tested, released and left outside scope.
How quickly can you add development capacity?
Availability depends on the skills required, engagement model, access readiness, project complexity and the condition of any inherited codebase. Share the likely start date, Umbraco version and broad scope in the enquiry. iConnect can then confirm whether suitable capacity is available and what must happen before productive delivery begins.
Can we start with a smaller piece of work?
A smaller, clearly bounded task can be a sensible way to test technical fit and working compatibility, subject to iConnect’s minimum booking terms and current availability. It should still have a clear objective, access plan, acceptance criteria and owner. If the work reveals wider risks or dependencies, those should be reported before the scope is expanded.
Tell us what your agency needs to deliver.
Share the broad requirement, required skills, current Umbraco version and likely timeframe. iConnect can then assess fit, identify the next discovery step and provide a practical view of availability. Sensitive project details can wait until any required confidentiality arrangements are in place.
