The philosophy

Built around your project, not ours.

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Different projects have different needs — some require a long-term team embedded in your workflow, others need a fixed-scope delivery, and some just need reliable hourly support as and when it’s required.

Our three engagement models give you the freedom to choose how you work with us. And if you’re an agency or IT business that prefers to hire a single developer through a trusted third-party platform, our Upwork profile gives you that option too — with the added security of Upwork’s payment protection and review system.

Three ways to engage

Pick the shape of the work

core models

Long-term partnership

Dedicated Resource

Best for

Ongoing projects, long-term product development, agencies needing a reliable offshore team, and IT businesses looking to extend their capacity without permanent headcount.

A dedicated team or individual works exclusively on your project — fully integrated into your tools, processes, and communication cadence. They attend your standups, follow your workflows, and operate as a seamless extension of your in-house team.

Key benefits

Exclusive focus

Your dedicated team works only on your project — no divided attention.

Deep familiarity

Team becomes an expert in your product, codebase and business logic.

Scalable

Start with one developer and scale to a full team as your project grows.

Consistent collaboration

Shared tools, aligned workflow, faster delivery.

Long-term partnership

The longer we work together, the more value we deliver.

Ideal for
Agencies white-labelling development to their client
IT businesses building SaaS products or web application
Businesses without an in-house tech team
Projects requiring ongoing support and continuous development
Hour-by-hour visibility

Pay Per Hour

Best for

Single developers or full teams on long-term or ongoing engagements where all work is tracked in hours. As capable as Dedicated Resource — with full visibility over effort and spend.

You pay for the hours worked, tracked and reported transparently. Works equally well for a single developer or a full team of designers and developers across an extended engagement. Also available through our verified Upwork profile with payment protection and escrow built in.

Key benefits

Full cost transparency

See exactly what's being worked on and for how long.

Scale on demand

Add hours when workload spikes, reduce when it quietens.

Long-term ready

Supports long-term engagements just as effectively as Dedicated Resource.

Efficient output

Hourly billing incentivises focused, productive work.

Budget control

Real-time visibility into hours spent — manage budget precisely.

Ideal for
Ongoing maintenance and support retainers
Long-term engagements where hour-by-hour tracking matters
Teams of multiple developers and designers across ongoing projects
Agencies and IT businesses wanting full hour-by-hour transparency
Fixed scope, fixed cost

Pay Per Project

Best for

Well-defined projects with a clear scope, fixed budget, and agreed deliverables.

We agree on the full scope, timeline, and cost before a single line of code is written. Complete budget certainty and no runaway costs. Works best when requirements are clearly defined upfront and unlikely to change significantly during delivery.

Key benefits

Fixed cost, no surprises

The price is agreed before work begins. What's quoted is what's invoiced.

Clear deliverables

Scope, milestones and outcomes documented upfront.

Accountability

We take full ownership of delivering to the agreed specification.

Transparent process

Regular progress updates without requiring your constant involvement.

Ideal for
Website builds with a defined scope
One-off feature development or integrations
Small to medium projects with a fixed brief
Clients who need budget approval before work can start

Platform-backed

Prefer to hire via ?

We understand that many IT businesses and agencies prefer the security and accountability of hiring through a trusted platform. Our verified Upwork agency profile gives you exactly that — hire a single developer for a short-term task, long-term contract, or anything in between, with Upwork’s payment protection, escrow and dispute resolution built in.
