/white label web design

White label web design for agencies who put their own name on it

You sell websites under your own brand. You need someone who can actually build them, on your brief, in your client's style, without ever appearing in the build or the conversation. That's white label web development from CodeSketch: hand-coded work, delivered quietly, credited to nobody but your agency.

ownership

The client relationship stays yours, full stop

/A · no poaching

We don't go around you, ever

The agency that brings the client owns the client. CodeSketch never approaches your customer for future work, never quotes them directly, and never uses a project as a way in. That commitment stands whether the relationship runs one project or fifty.

/B · unbranded

No CodeSketch name anywhere in the build

No footer credit, no "built by" line, no watermark buried in the code comments. If a credit link appears anywhere on a white label site, that's your call entirely, and never something you have to notice and remove.

/C · direct line

One developer, not an account manager

There's no layer between you and the person writing the code. Every brief, every revision note and every question goes straight to Lance, the same person who builds the site your client will actually use.

your brief

Built to your brief, your brand, your client's design

Brand guidelines, existing mockups, a client's own colour palette: the brief runs the build, not a house style. See the reasoning behind that at hand-coded versus website builders.

/A · your guidelines

Your fonts, your colours, your client's direction

A logo pack, a brand book, a Figma file, a competitor site your client admires: whatever defines the look is what gets built to. CodeSketch doesn't impose a house style over an agency's brief.

/B · handwritten code

Hand-coded HTML, CSS and JS, nothing exported

No page-builder export, no proprietary block editor, no platform lock-in your next developer has to untangle. Every site is written by hand, so whoever inherits it later can actually read and change it.

/C · after handover

Changes route back through you, not around you

Once a site is live, edits and updates come to you first. Ongoing changes can run through a care plan or a one-off fix via website support, both handled quietly, under your name.

capacity

One developer, a hard cap, and a fast first reply

/A · the whole studio

Lance Hancock, one person, based in East London

There's no bench of juniors and no account manager reading your brief back to you. CodeSketch is one developer. That means direct access to the person actually building, and no hand-off between whoever sold it and whoever codes it.

/B · five a month

A hard cap of five builds a month

Every project across the whole studio, agency work included, shares one limit: five builds running at a time. It keeps the work properly hand-coded instead of rushed, and it's the real reason to ask early if a client has a date in mind.

/C · first reply

A reply within one working day

Whatever the question, whichever time zone it's sent from, you'll hear back within one working day. It's the only turnaround promise made on this page, because it's the only one that's actually been tested.

reach and rate

UK hours overlap, US and Australia mostly run async

South Africa sits at UTC+2. More on how that plays out for clients working with a remote studio generally at working across time zones.

/A · time zone

One to two hours ahead of London

A UK working day and a South African one overlap for most of the afternoon, so briefs and revisions can go back and forth the same day. US clients see roughly a seven-hour gap, Los Angeles about ten, so replies tend to land the next morning.

/B · currency

Your pound or dollar buys more studio time here

A pound or dollar converts further in South Africa than it does in London or New York. That's a margin advantage for the agency marking the work up, not a discount on the standard of the build.

/C · the honest bit

No agency roster yet, real builds instead

CodeSketch hasn't taken on white label work for an agency before, as far as the records show, no point pretending otherwise. What's real: a coastal guesthouse in Kleinmond, a licensed financial advisory firm, a nail salon booking system running three years, a dated Wix page rebuilt. See the actual builds, this site included.

asked all the time

What agencies ask before handing over a client build

/Q1 · Will you ever contact my client directly, or try to work with them separately?

No. The agency that brings a project owns that client relationship, full stop. CodeSketch only speaks to an end client if you ask for it directly, under your brand, and never uses a project to approach them for separate work afterwards.

/Q2 · Does your name, logo or a credit link appear anywhere on the site you build for us?

Not unless you want it to. White label means unbranded by default: no footer credit, no watermark in the code, nothing telling your client CodeSketch touched the build. Any credit line on the finished site is entirely your decision.

/Q3 · Can you build strictly to our brand guidelines instead of your own style?

Yes. The brief runs the build, whether that's a full brand book, a client's existing mockups, or a competitor site your client likes. CodeSketch isn't imposing a house look over an agency's direction.

/Q4 · What happens if our client wants changes after the site goes live?

Requests come back to you, and the work happens quietly under your name, either as a one-off fix or through an ongoing care plan. Your client never needs to know who's actually making the change.

/Q5 · Will the code be something our next developer can pick up?

Yes. Every site is hand-coded HTML, CSS and JavaScript, no page-builder export and no proprietary editor to learn. Anyone who can read code can pick up where CodeSketch left off, which is the whole point of building it that way.

/Q6 · Have you actually done white label work for an agency before?

Not yet, honestly, and that's worth saying out loud rather than dressing it up. What exists instead is a portfolio of real hand-coded builds, including this website, and a hard cap of five projects a month that keeps each one properly built.

Agencies work with CodeSketch from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and across South Africa. The international page explains the remote process, and the South African Website Price Index is useful when you are pricing a build for your own client.

Five builds run through CodeSketch a month, across every client this studio takes on. If a launch date matters, ask before the month fills.

Send the brief and let's see if it fits this month

One developer, hand-coded, and nobody but your agency in the room.
