A developer you can borrow for your team
The project is sold and the deadline agreed — and then it turns out your own people are booked, or the task needs a skill you don't have in-house. That is what I am here for: I do the work under your name, on your schedule, invisibly to your client.
I already do ongoing subcontracting work for two companies — this is not a new direction, but part of everyday work. ArborIT is a one-person company that has been doing web and server work since 2014. That means you always talk to the same person who actually does the work — no middle layer, no project managers, no handover losses.
Who this is for
Web agency
The project is sold, but your developers are booked for months. I take on one project, or one part of it.
Designer or marketer
The design or campaign is ready and someone has to make it work. I build the site or shop, with content the client can manage themselves.
Publisher or printing house
A manuscript needs layout and your own typesetter is booked. I deliver print-ready files that match your printer's requirements.
IT partner or in-house IT lead
A Linux server, database or legacy application needs someone who actually maintains it and takes responsibility.
What I do as a subcontractor
- Code-based websites and web applications (React, Next.js, TypeScript)
- WordPress and WooCommerce work — development, fixes, migrations
- Linux server setup, maintenance, hardening and zero-downtime migration
- Modernising and extending legacy PHP or web software
- Book and print layout with print-ready PDF
- Technical SEO: speed, structure, redirects, hreflang
How it works
- 1Describe the taskA brief, design files or access to the existing solution is enough. I reply within one working day.
- 2Scope and deadline in writingYou get an estimate and a deadline before anything starts. If the task grows, you hear it immediately — not on the invoice.
- 3The work ships under your nameCommunication with the end client goes through you unless you prefer otherwise. I hand over the code, the access and a short piece of documentation.
Honest limits
- I will not take your client. The relationship, the invoice and the brand stay yours.
- I will not take on more projects than I can finish — if the calendar is full, I say so straight away.
- I will not quote without seeing the task. A number without a brief is a guess, not an estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work white-label?
Yes. By default all communication goes through you and the finished work ships under your name. ArborIT is not mentioned to the end client unless you want it to be.
How does invoicing work?
I invoice you, not the end client. We can agree on an hourly rate or a fixed project price — which one fits depends on how tightly the task is defined. I make a concrete offer after seeing the brief.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. An NDA and a cooperation agreement are a normal part of subcontracting — send me your template or we use mine.
How soon can you start?
I answer every enquiry within one working day and tell you honestly when the next slot is. Short fixes usually fit into the running schedule; a larger project needs a couple of weeks' notice.
Who owns the code and the rights?
The finished work, the code and the assets transfer to you (or your client) when the project ends. I use open-source technology, so continuing the work does not require coming back to me.
Tell me what needs doing
Describe the task in a couple of sentences — I reply within one working day and tell you honestly whether and when I can fit it in.
