    Company FAQs

    • What is a white label agency?

      A white label agency is one that produces work that another company can rebrand as their own. In our case, we develop code for websites and emails for other agencies to deliver to their clients as though they have done it.

    • Why outsource to a white label agency?

      Often, companies choose to outsource to a white label agency when they don’t have the resources in-house, either because they are short-staffed, or they don’t have in-house developers with the necessary skills/at all. Choosing to outsource tends to be more efficient and flexible than hiring in-house particularly if workloads peak and trough throughout the year. Read in more detail here.

    • Why choose a white label agency over a freelance developer?

      Hiring a freelancer might be cheaper but with a white label agency you will get a broader range of skills and experience as well as dedicated account and project managers who will be able to help with communication and planning. Read more on this topic here.

    • What do I do if I want to outsource to a white label agency?

      If you are ready to outsource to a white label agency, there are a few ways that you can make this process simple and efficient for everyone involved, including making sure the company has the correct skill sets for your project, getting a clear brief from your client first, and clearly stating the scope of expectations in order to get an accurate quote.

    • How long has Gooey been in business for?

      Our doors first opened in 2009.  After a short period as a full-service digital agency, we quickly saw the requirement for agencies to have a reliable, UK based white label agency, and in 2010 our focus shifted to fill that niche. Our company No. is 11509275.

      We’re based in in Salford which is on the outskirts of central Manchester. You’re welcome to come visit us at any time; have a brew, chat, and meet the team.

    • What do you do?

      We are a white label agency and work with other agencies as their preferred web development partner. Most of our work is frontend HTML development, WordPress and Magento theme creation, or HTML email builds. We also support agencies with bug fixes, website maintenance, and updates.

    Privacy FAQs

    • Do you work under NDA?

      As a white-label agency, we adhere to a strict set of rules to ensure your client never comes into contact with anyone at Gooey.  We have our own NDA template we can send to you, or alternatively, we can sign yours; whichever works best for you.

    • Who owns the final code you produce?

      Upon project completion and sign off, we will send you all files related to the project so that you’re in 100% control of the final product.

    • Will you tell anyone about our partnership?

      No, we will never mention that we work with you unless you specifically tell us we can.  The first rule of Fight Club white-label outsourcing: you do not talk about Fight Club white-label outsourcing.

    Payment FAQs

    • How do you cost a job?

      On receipt of your assets (designs, wireframes, brief etc.) we will review everything with our developers and provide you with a final fixed cost. If you have a budget in mind, let us know and we will do our best to work towards your budget.

    • Do you offer discounts for repeat business?

      Yes, the more work you give us, the bigger the discount we can give you.  Please ask your Partnership Manager for more information.

    • Do you require a deposit?

      We charge a 25% fee upfront, then the remaining 75% on project completion, invoiced on 28-day terms.

      We have experience in most of the popular frameworks, including Vue.js, ReactJS, Bootstrap, and Foundation.

    • What is the amends process?

      We usually like all amends in one go, but we’re aware that you may have amends before you send to your client, and that they, in turn, may have additional amends. With that in mind, we usually work to 2 sets of amends. We use BugHerd to manage the whole amends process so that each issue can be tracked and discussed as necessary. Read more about BugHerd here.
