Stellites is the white-label website development team behind digital agencies that need clean, performant builds delivered on time without the cost, risk, or overhead of hiring in-house developers. Your clients pay for websites that work, convert, and hold up long after launch. Your reputation depends on delivery that arrives on schedule and needs minimal rework after handover. Stellites matches your time zone, works inside your SOPs, and builds across WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, and HubSpot under your agency brand. You stay in front. We handle every build, every fix, and every update behind the scenes without your name ever leaving the conversation.
Agency Owner, Canada
Website development is not just a capacity problem. Every delayed build, messy handover, and post-launch support nightmare erodes client confidence and ties up founder time. Whether you build in-house, use freelancers, or rely on a generic white-label team, the same structural gaps keep surfacing. And the client always notices before you can fix it.
You should be growing the business and closing new clients. Instead you are following up on build timelines, reviewing staging links, managing revision cycles, and troubleshooting bugs that should have been caught before launch. The agency is not scaling. It is just keeping builds alive.
A senior developer commands a salary most retainers and project fees cannot justify. Add tool licenses, ongoing training, and the ramp-up time before they understand your agency's standards, and the margin on that account is already thin. When they leave, every unfinished project and undocumented build walks out with them.
Freelancers are available until a project gets complex, a deadline gets tight, or a better client comes along. Handovers are incomplete, documentation is missing, and when something breaks post-launch, the person who built it is no longer available. Your agency absorbs the support burden for work it did not fully control.
Task-based web development providers deliver the build and close the ticket. There is no quality review before launch, no documentation your team can maintain, and no one who understands your agency's standards or your client's business. You get a website. Not a deliverable your agency can stand behind.
Junior developers need senior oversight before a build reaches the client. But keeping a senior developer reviewing every project at every tier is not financially viable. The result is builds that look fine in staging and break in production, accessibility issues that create legal risk, and performance problems that cost your client rankings and conversions.
When a developer leaves or a project changes hands, the build logic, custom code, plugin configuration, CMS structure, and client-specific decisions walk out with them. The next developer spends weeks reverse-engineering what should have been documented. Your agency loses time and your client loses patience before a single new feature is added.
WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Squarespace, and HubSpot all have different build paradigms, performance requirements, and maintenance considerations. A developer who is strong on WordPress may be lost on Webflow. A Webflow specialist may not understand HubSpot CMS architecture. Every platform gap is a project your agency cannot confidently take on.
AI site builders, AI-generated code, and tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot are reshaping how websites are built and maintained. Teams still building manually at 2022 speeds are slower, more expensive, and more error-prone than teams integrating AI into their development workflow. Your agency carries the delivery risk when your dev team is behind the curve.
We provide the website development delivery system that protects your client relationships, your build standards, and your peace of mind. Because you should not have to hold every project together alone.
When the development delivery layer is built right, your clients receive websites that perform, convert, and hold up after launch. Your project timelines stop overrunning, your handovers stop creating support nightmares, and your agency grows without the overhead of building an internal dev team. This is what white-label website development looks like when Stellites runs behind you.
Every build is tested against Core Web Vitals, mobile performance, accessibility standards, and platform-specific best practices before it reaches your client. Your clients do not discover performance issues after launch. They launch with a site that loads fast, ranks well, and converts the traffic it earns.
Clean code, documented CMS structure, and platform-appropriate architecture mean your clients can update their own content, add new pages, and onboard future developers without rebuilding from scratch. Post-launch support tickets drop. Client confidence stays high. Retainers built around ongoing development renew because the foundation justifies them.
A 15+ year Delivery Manager reviews every build against your brief, your standards, and your client's requirements before it leaves the team. Structural issues, accessibility gaps, and performance problems are caught inside the delivery process, not discovered on a client review call. Your agency stops managing rework and starts presenting finished work.
Two web development clients or twenty, the delivery system scales with you. No emergency hiring, no platform knowledge gaps, no founder pulled back into project management. Your agency confidently takes on WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, and HubSpot projects knowing the delivery will hold and the margin stays intact.

Most white-label providers assign whoever is available. Stellites builds a five-stage vetting process around your agency before a single candidate is considered. Every stage is designed to answer one question: will this developer protect your clients' projects the way you would?
Website development in 2026 has fundamentally changed. AI has compressed the distance between a brief and a live site at every stage: from generating UI concepts before a designer opens Figma, to converting finished designs into clean code, to catching accessibility and performance issues before a client sees the build. Stellites has built AI into every stage of website development delivery so your dedicated developer moves faster, builds cleaner, and delivers more confidently than a traditional team running the same workflow manually.
Before a designer opens a blank Figma canvas, Stellites uses AI-powered UI generation tools to rapidly explore layout directions from the client brief. Google Stitch, Google's AI design tool built on Gemini 2.5, generates complete multi-screen UI designs from text prompts, sketches, or uploaded references. The March 2026 update added multi-screen generation, voice input, and direct publishing to a live web URL through Netlify. UXPilot provides similar rapid UI generation with stronger design system enforcement. These tools turn a client brief into three to five visual directions in minutes rather than hours, giving the agency something tangible to present for direction approval before any production design work begins. Matz Analytics Neither tool replaces the designer. They give the designer a validated direction to refine rather than a blank canvas to fill. The brief-to-approval stage that previously consumed days of back-and-forth is compressed into a single focused session.
Your agency stops burning design hours on directions the client will reject. The client approves a direction before production design begins. The brief is translated into a visual reference faster than any manual process, and the designer inherits a validated starting point rather than a blank canvas.
The most time-consuming part of web development for most agencies is the gap between an approved Figma design and a working coded build. Manual translation of a Figma frame to HTML, CSS, and React has historically consumed the majority of front-end development time. Locofy Lightning, the most-installed Figma-to-code plugin with over 1.5 million installs, automates close to 80% of front-end development according to TechCrunch. It converts Figma designs directly to React, Next.js, Vue, HTML/CSS, or Flutter, generating responsive code with named components that match Figma layer names. Stellites uses Locofy for standard marketing pages and landing pages, Anima for builds requiring interactive behavior and prototype fidelity, and Builder.io Visual Copilot for component-heavy builds that need to integrate with an existing codebase rather than generating new components in parallel. These tools reduce manual frontend development time by 30 to 60 percent. The developer's role shifts from manually translating every element to reviewing, refining, and extending AI-generated code: handling complex interactive components, adding business logic, and ensuring responsive edge cases are correct.
Your agency delivers builds faster without cutting corners on code quality. The mechanical translation work that consumed junior and mid-level developer hours is handled by AI. The developer's time goes into the parts of the build that require genuine judgment: architecture decisions, interactive behavior, performance optimization, and client-specific customization.
GitHub Copilot and Cursor are AI-first development tools that have fundamentally changed how experienced developers work. Cursor's codebase-aware AI understands the entire project context, suggesting implementations that are consistent with the existing architecture rather than introducing inconsistent patterns that create technical debt. GitHub Copilot handles boilerplate code, generates component structures, completes repetitive patterns, and suggests implementations for common functionality across WordPress, Webflow, and HubSpot builds. Claude Code connects directly to the codebase and answers natural language questions: "Which custom post types are registered but not being used?", "Where is the page builder shortcode that is slowing the homepage?", or "What plugins are conflicting with this JavaScript error?" This diagnostic capability means issues that would previously take a developer hours to trace are identified and resolved in minutes. For Webflow builds, AI-assisted design token management keeps CSS variables consistent across the entire site as scope expands.
Your clients receive builds that are internally consistent, structurally clean, and less prone to the accumulating inconsistency that makes future updates slow and expensive. The developer delivers faster because the mechanical parts of coding are handled by AI. The build holds up longer because the architecture decisions are made by an experienced developer with AI as a sharper tool, not a replacement.
Before any build advances to client review, Stellites runs a structured AI-assisted QA pass across four dimensions. Accessibility: automated scanning flags WCAG compliance issues including missing alt text, insufficient color contrast, keyboard navigation gaps, and missing ARIA labels, which carry legal risk for clients in regulated industries. Performance: Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights run programmatically with Claude analyzing results and generating a prioritized fix list mapped to Core Web Vitals thresholds before the client sees the staging link. Functionality: Claude Cowork reviews the build against the original brief, checking that all specified pages exist, all links resolve, all forms submit correctly, and all CMS fields map to the right content areas. Cross-device: AI-assisted device simulation catches layout breaks on common screen sizes before a client opens the link on their phone. Issues caught at the QA stage cost minutes to fix. The same issues caught on a client review call cost hours of credibility, rework, and relationship management.
Your agency stops presenting builds that have obvious issues. The first client review is cleaner because the build that reaches the client has already passed four QA dimensions internally. Revision cycles shorten. Client confidence rises. And the post-launch support tickets that typically surface in the first weeks are caught before the site goes live.
Core Web Vitals are a confirmed Google ranking signal and a direct conversion factor: a one-second delay in page load time reduces conversions by an average of seven percent. Stellites uses Screaming Frog connected via MCP to Claude for post-build performance audits. Crawl data flows directly into Claude without manual exports. Claude identifies image optimization gaps, render-blocking resources, unused CSS and JavaScript, server response times, and caching configuration, then generates a developer-ready prioritized fix list. For WordPress builds, AI-assisted plugin configuration review identifies conflicts and performance bottlenecks that standard development processes miss. For Webflow, Wix, and Squarespace builds, platform-specific performance constraints are documented and optimized within the limits of each platform's architecture. For ongoing maintenance engagements, AI-assisted monitoring runs continuously: uptime checking, performance baseline tracking, and plugin update compatibility checks before updates are applied to live WordPress sites, preventing the single most common cause of post-launch breakage.
Your clients receive reports that tell the story of their campaigns, not just the numbers. Your account managers spend their time on strategy and relationships, not spreadsheet formatting.
Not a generic package. Not whoever is available. A dedicated website development setup matched to your timezone, your platforms, and your build standards.

Trusted by agencies worldwide who want an embedded development team that allocates time, senior oversight, and setup effort in the first months to build delivery consistency and client confidence, even if profitability comes later.
"We had been using freelance developers for three years and the pattern was always the same: good work, poor documentation, messy handovers, and a client who could not update their own site six months later. The first WordPress build Stellites delivered had thorough documentation, a clean CMS structure, and the client was self-sufficient from day one. That broke the pattern completely."

A simple 4-step path from first call to a dedicated website developer running behind your agency across WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, and HubSpot.
Honest answers to the questions agencies ask before, during, and after partnering with Stellites for website development delivery.
White-label website development is a delivery model where a specialist developer builds your clients' websites entirely under your agency brand. Stellites assigns a dedicated developer to your projects, handles all build execution and documentation, and your clients only ever see your agency's name. Stellites operates invisibly behind you across every platform your clients need.
Stellites builds across WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, and HubSpot CMS. The specific platforms your dedicated developer focuses on are mapped during the requirements deep dive and the vetting process is built around your agency's exact platform mix. If your clients are primarily on WordPress and Webflow, the developer is tested and matched on those platforms specifically.
No. Stellites operates fully behind your agency brand. All builds, documentation, handover materials, and communications go out under your name. Stellites never contacts your clients directly and never reveals its involvement. The relationship stays entirely between Stellites and your agency.
Fully Managed includes a Dedicated Developer, a 15+ year Website Development Delivery Manager who owns build strategy and quality oversight, and Complete Operational Support. Stellites owns delivery accountability end to end. Self Managed includes the same Dedicated Developer and Operational Support, but no Stellites Delivery Manager. It is the right choice when your agency already has an internal technical lead or project manager directing builds.
Never. Stellites works exclusively with digital agencies and never takes direct clients. Every engagement is white-label by design. Stellites will never approach your clients, pitch development services directly, or build a relationship that competes with yours.
Most white-label development providers assign whoever is available, deliver builds with no senior code review, and leave agencies with undocumented sites that create ongoing support dependency. Stellites matches a dedicated developer to your specific agency profile through a five-stage vetting process, layers a 15+ year Delivery Manager over every Fully Managed engagement for code quality review before anything reaches the client, and manages all HR, replacements, tools, and operational continuity so the agency never carries those costs or risks alone.
Stellites works best with agencies that already sell website development or want to add it as a service line, that need reliable delivery without the cost and complexity of hiring in-house developers, and that value clean builds, thorough handovers, and consistent quality over the cheapest available option.
The developer handles all hands-on build execution across your projects. This includes WordPress theme and plugin development, Webflow CMS builds, HubSpot CMS module development, Wix and Squarespace customization, Figma to code conversion, AI-assisted development using GitHub Copilot and Cursor, frontend development, performance optimization, accessibility implementation, cross-browser and device testing, third-party integrations, CMS documentation, post-launch support, and weekly delivery updates in your format. They are the execution layer, not the architecture layer.
No. The developer executes the build and provides technical input and implementation support. Final architecture decisions, build strategy, and quality sign-off belong to the Delivery Manager in a Fully Managed engagement or to your internal technical lead in a Self Managed engagement. This ensures that structural decisions affecting long-term site maintainability are always made at the right level of experience.
Yes. Your dedicated developer is assigned specifically to your agency and your projects. They are not pooled across multiple agencies or rotated based on capacity. This means they build familiarity with your build standards, your clients' sites, and your quality expectations over time.
Yes. Stellites matches developers to your time zone. EST, PST, BST, AEST, CST, and more are supported. Your developer works the hours your agency and your clients operate in, which eliminates overnight build gaps, delayed responses when something breaks, and morning surprises before a client review call.
Yes. During the requirements deep dive, Stellites maps your build standards, naming conventions, documentation requirements, handover format, and quality benchmarks. The developer is briefed on and expected to follow these from day one.
Every dedicated developer has a minimum of five years of experience working inside digital agencies. Experience is verified through a custom technical test built around your platforms, a live technical interview, and a Head of Delivery interview. The goal is to validate how they build and document in real conditions, not just what platforms they list on a CV.
The Delivery Manager is a 15+ year web development professional who owns final build strategy, code quality oversight, and delivery accountability across all projects in a Fully Managed engagement. Every build is reviewed and signed off at the management level before it reaches your agency or your client. This is the layer that separates Stellites from providers who send code with no senior review.
The Delivery Manager translates brief requirements and design intent into approved technical approach, reviews every build for code quality, performance, accessibility, and cross-device behavior before it reaches the client, handles advanced technical troubleshooting and escalations, enforces Core Web Vitals performance standards before launch, reviews cross-platform build consistency, continuously trains and upskills the developer, manages project timelines and scope to protect delivery commitments, and prepares the senior-level technical insights that support your account team and protect renewals.
Yes, where needed. In a Fully Managed engagement, the Delivery Manager is available for escalations, technical questions, and build concerns. The primary day-to-day communication runs through the developer, but the Delivery Manager is accessible when the situation requires senior input.
No. Self Managed is designed for agencies that already have an internal technical lead or project manager who will direct builds and own architecture decisions. The developer works under that person's guidance. If you are not sure which model fits, the discovery call is the right place to work that out.
Stellites runs a five-stage vetting process. It starts with mapping your agency requirements before a single candidate is considered. Candidates then go through a custom technical test built around your specific platforms and project types, a psychometric evaluation assessing communication and accountability, a live technical interview validating real build execution, and a personal interview with Stellites' Head of Delivery. Only then are the top two to three candidates presented to you.
The test is built around your specific agency profile. It covers the platforms you build on (WordPress, Webflow, HubSpot, Wix, Squarespace), code quality standards, Figma to code conversion capability, performance optimization knowledge, accessibility implementation, documentation practices, and AI-assisted development tool proficiency. A developer who cannot work with GitHub Copilot and Cursor in 2026 is building more slowly than they should be.
Yes. That is step five. After Stellites completes all internal vetting stages, the top two to three candidates are presented to your agency. You speak with them directly, ask your own questions, and make the final call. No one touches your clients' websites without your explicit approval.
Most agencies receive their first shortlist within one to two weeks of completing the requirements deep dive. Stellites does not rush vetting to fill a slot faster. A mismatched developer costs the agency rework time, client trust, and post-launch support burden that a careful process prevents.
Yes. Candidates are evaluated on their proficiency with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Figma to code tools including Locofy and Anima, and AI-assisted QA workflows. A developer who is not using AI tools in their development workflow in 2026 is slower, less consistent, and more expensive to run than one who is.
In a Fully Managed engagement, every build goes through a structured QA review by the Delivery Manager before it reaches your agency. Code quality, functionality, accessibility, Core Web Vitals performance, cross-browser behavior, and brief alignment are all checked at the management level. Issues are caught inside the delivery process, not discovered on a client review call.
Raise it with Stellites directly. Quality concerns are addressed immediately. If a single build does not meet the standard, it is reworked before it reaches your client. If there is a pattern of quality issues, the Delivery Manager steps in and addresses it structurally. If the problem is with the developer specifically, Stellites manages a replacement.
Yes. Stellites guarantees that every build is optimized against Core Web Vitals thresholds before launch. Image optimization, render-blocking resource resolution, caching configuration, and platform-specific performance best practices are applied as a standard part of the delivery process. What no provider can guarantee is the performance impact of third-party scripts, external embeds, or hosting environments outside Stellites' control. Everything within the build itself is delivered to the highest performance standard.
Yes. CMS documentation is a standard part of every build handover. Clients receive structured guidance on how to update content, add pages, manage media, and use the CMS without developer dependency. This is one of the most common causes of post-launch support tickets and ongoing client frustration. Stellites documents builds so your clients can manage their own content confidently.
Never. Stellites operates fully behind your agency brand and has no commercial interest in your clients. But there is a deeper reason beyond contractual obligation. Stellites pivoted to the agency-only model because we realized we could not achieve our vision of delivering the best digital outcomes to the maximum number of brands by working directly. By partnering with digital agencies, we can help far more brands than working directly ever allowed. We do not chase recognition. We are completely fine being behind the scenes, because what fulfills us is seeing brands expand, teams thrive, and livelihoods improve. This is not just business for us. It is a responsibility we choose, and we will keep doing it with consistency, without expectation.
Stellites works entirely under your agency brand. All builds, documentation, handover materials, and communications are produced in your name and your format. Stellites does not add its branding to any output and does not communicate with your clients directly at any stage of the engagement.
Yes. An NDA is signed as part of the onboarding process before any agency information, client names, site access, or project details are shared. All operations are NDA-protected by default.
All dedicated developers access client websites, hosting accounts, and CMS platforms through secure RDP and VPN connections. Access is controlled, monitored, and managed as part of the Operational Support layer. Client credentials and site data do not leave the secure environment.
All access to client websites, hosting accounts, and platforms is fully revoked as part of the offboarding process. All client data and project information handled during the engagement is subject to the NDA terms, which survive the end of the engagement.
The process from the first discovery call to a fully operational dedicated developer typically takes two to three weeks. This covers the requirements deep dive, vetting process, candidate presentation, your selection, and the 10-day trial. If your requirements are straightforward and candidates are available, it can move faster.
You need to be available for a discovery call and a requirements deep dive. After that, you provide access to the platforms and tools the developer will use, your SOPs and build standards documentation, any existing brand guidelines and design assets, and context on the projects the developer will begin working on. Stellites handles everything else.
The 10-day trial is a live delivery period where your chosen developer begins working on a real project. You evaluate build quality, platform knowledge, documentation standards, communication, and workflow alignment in actual conditions. There is no obligation to continue beyond the trial if the fit is not right.
Minimal. The developer is onboarded into your existing platforms, tools, and SOPs. There is no restructuring of how your agency operates. Projects in progress are handed over with context rather than starting from zero, so delivery continuity is maintained during the transition.
If the trial reveals the developer is not the right match, Stellites manages the situation immediately. Depending on the issue, this may mean additional coaching and adjustment or moving to a replacement. You are not locked into a developer who does not meet your standard.
Stellites pricing is based on commitment type (full-time or part-time), management level (Fully Managed or Self Managed), and commitment length (3, 6, 12, or 24 months). Longer commitments have better pricing. All plans include the 10-Day Free Trial. To see your specific pricing, complete the form in the pricing section and select your preferences.
Full-time means the developer works exclusively on your agency's projects for a standard full working week. Part-time means the developer works a reduced number of hours per week, suited for agencies with a lower project volume or those wanting to test the model before scaling. Both options include the same vetting, operational support, and quality standards.
Yes. The 10-day trial is included in all plans at no additional cost. It is designed to let you validate build quality, platform knowledge, and workflow alignment before committing to the full engagement. There is no hidden setup fee.
Tell Stellites before you assume it does not fit. Stellites would rather work out an arrangement that protects your project book than lose a long-term partnership over a short-term situation. This is not a standard clause in a contract. It is how Stellites actually operates with agency partners during difficult periods.
If Stellites' performance does not meet the standard, you can exit the commitment at any time without any penalty. This is written explicitly into the contract. Stellites takes pride in delivery quality and considers this a rare scenario. But the protection is there in writing so the agency never feels locked into an underperforming engagement.
If the reason is a business or company decision rather than a performance issue, you pay the price difference between the commitment-level monthly fee you received and the standard monthly fee for the number of months you actually used. For example: a 48-month commitment gives a monthly fee of $2,000. You use 12 months. The standard 12-month monthly fee is $2,500. You pay the $500 difference for each of the 12 months used, which is $6,000 total. You keep the benefit of the months you used at the discounted rate. There is no punitive charge beyond the price adjustment.
Yes. You can move from part-time to full-time as your project volume grows, add resources for additional platforms or project types, or adjust the engagement scope. Changes are handled without disrupting active project delivery.
Stellites manages the full replacement process. The agency does not post a job, run interviews, or rebuild project context from scratch. Stellites handles recruitment, vetting, and onboarding of the replacement developer. Build documentation, code structure, CMS setup, active project notes, and client-specific standards are all transferred. Your agency never inherits an undocumented codebase and your clients never notice a change.
Most replacements are operational within one to two weeks. During the transition, the Delivery Manager maintains continuity oversight to ensure active projects do not stall or drop in quality.
Before any transition, the outgoing developer's work is documented across build architecture, code structure, CMS setup, plugin and integration configuration, active project status, and client-specific decisions. The incoming developer is fully briefed before they begin. Nothing starts from zero and no project context is lost.
Yes. If the fit is not right for any reason, you can request a replacement. Stellites does not require agencies to justify or defend the decision. The goal is a developer your agency trusts with your clients' websites. If that trust is not there, a replacement is the right outcome.
Stellites adjusts rather than enforces. If your agency loses a retainer, a client pauses a project, or margins tighten, Stellites works with you on the situation before it becomes a contract conversation. Long-term partnerships are more important than short-term margin. Stellites has worked with agency partners through difficult quarters and come out the other side with the relationship intact.
Yes. The developer is assigned to your agency, not to a specific client. If a client cancels or pauses a project, the developer continues working on your other projects. The engagement does not change because one client churned.
Stellites has built AI into every stage of website development. Google Stitch and UXPilot generate UI concepts from client briefs before a designer opens Figma, compressing the brief-to-approval stage significantly. Locofy and Anima convert approved Figma designs to clean HTML, React, and platform-specific code, automating up to 80 percent of front-end layout work. GitHub Copilot and Cursor accelerate development by writing boilerplate, suggesting implementations, and maintaining code consistency. Claude is used for QA automation, brief interpretation, and technical specification generation. Screaming Frog connected via Claude MCP runs performance audits before every launch. Every AI workflow has a human developer and Delivery Manager applying judgment before any build reaches the client.
AI-assisted, not AI-written. AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor accelerate the parts of development that do not require human judgment: boilerplate code, repetitive patterns, component structures. The developer applies architectural thinking, platform-specific knowledge, client-specific customization, and build quality judgment throughout. The Delivery Manager reviews every build before it reaches the client. AI makes the developer faster and more consistent. It does not replace their craft or their accountability.
Figma to code conversion uses AI-powered tools to translate approved Figma designs directly into clean, responsive HTML, CSS, React, or platform-specific code without manual reconstruction. Stellites uses Locofy for React and Next.js builds, Anima for builds requiring interactive behavior, and Builder.io for component-heavy builds that need to integrate with existing codebases. These tools reduce manual front-end layout time by 30 to 60 percent. The developer reviews, refines, and extends the generated code to handle complex interactions, responsive edge cases, and business logic.
Before any build reaches client review, Stellites runs AI-assisted QA across performance (Screaming Frog connected via Claude MCP generating a prioritized Core Web Vitals fix list), accessibility (automated WCAG compliance scanning), functionality (Claude Cowork checking the build against the original brief), and cross-device behavior (AI-assisted device simulation). Issues caught at QA cost minutes to fix. The same issues caught on a client review call cost hours of credibility and rework.
The Stellites web development stack includes GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Locofy, Anima, UXPilot, Claude, ChatGPT, Screaming Frog with MCP integration, BrowserStack, WP Rocket, ACF Pro, Figma Pro, WP Engine, and Relume for Webflow builds. All tools are included at no extra cost to the agency.
A minimum of one dedicated training session per month is run by expert AI coaches covering specific platforms, build methodologies, AI-assisted development tools, and performance optimization practices. When GitHub Copilot adds capabilities, Locofy updates its conversion engine, or Webflow changes its CMS architecture, the team learns it in a structured environment. Your agency does not absorb that training cost or time.
Not for professional agency work. AI tools like Google Stitch and Locofy automate significant portions of layout and boilerplate generation, but complex CMS architecture, third-party integrations, custom functionality, responsive edge cases, accessibility compliance, and performance optimization all require experienced developer judgment. AI tools shift the developer's role from writing repetitive code to focusing on higher-value technical work. The result is faster delivery, cleaner code, and more consistent output, with the same level of human accountability that protects your client relationships.
