Discreet by Default
Accountable to Your Brand
Experienced Team
When You Need Capacity Without the Risk.
Agencies grow in bursts. Some months you have more work than your team can handle. Other months you're underwater on a deadline that depends on a sub who isn't returning emails. We've been the agency in both situations. White Whale exists to be the partner you can hand a project to without holding your breath.
Sound Familiar?
You're turning down work because your team is at capacity
You've subbed out projects before and had to redo the work yourself
A client needs accessibility expertise you don't have on payroll
A client needs Laravel and you only do WordPress, or the other way around
Your subcontractor missed a deadline and you took the heat
You're worried about a sub poaching your client
You need a partner who shows up the way you ask them to
We Work the Way Your Agency Works.
Your clients hear from us only if you want them to. By default we stay entirely behind your brand. If you authorize us to engage with your clients directly, we do it under your branding and using email aliases on your domain. We sign your NDA, we follow your process, and we stand by our work. If something goes wrong, we own it. You get senior engineering capacity that scales up when you need it and back down when you don't, without the overhead of hiring.
Built For Compliance, Performance, and Peace of Mind
Full Service Catalog
WordPress development, custom Laravel applications, accessibility audits and remediation, civic and government sites, ongoing maintenance, content writing, design support. One partner, everything covered.
Behind Your Brand, Always
Your clients see your team. By default we never contact your clients, never put our logo anywhere, and never compete for the relationship. If you want us in client conversations, we step in under your branding using emails on your domain. Always your call.
Accountable Capacity
Six staff and six contractors, ten of us in Idaho. We scale up when you need it and stand by every deliverable. If a problem shows up after launch, we own it and we fix it.
Selected Work
The three projects below are partner-agency engagements we delivered behind the scenes, shared here with permission. There are many more impressive sites we can't show, because honoring our partners' discretion is part of what they pay us for. When you partner with us, your work gets the same craftsmanship and the same protection.

Delivered to Your Client
Work comes back to you ready to hand over, or we step in with your branding if you have authorized it. Either way, you stay the agency of record and we stand by what we ship.
Best designed websites...
Aaron, Randy, Joel, and team were a delight to work with. As the end user, this is one of the best designed websites I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The design itself is beautiful, but the back-end is what really has me excited. The tools, widgets, customized block, and plug-ins they curated make it so easy to update and create new content. They were responsive, professional, and did everything they said they were going to do, when they said they'd do it. I would highly recommend their services to anyone!"
Kristin Guidry Bartz
Idaho ITS, Project Coordinator
Creative, communicative, and deeply thoughtful...
We work with White Whale Web on several major projects throughout the year — Duck Club Presents, Shrine Social Club, Treefort Music Hall, and the massive Treefort Music Fest — and they crush it across the board. Treefort alone is an insanely complex festival with hundreds of artists, venues, schedules, filters — you name it! They worked with our marketing, design and app team to make the site intuitive, fast, and actually fun to use. Michael, Aaron and Emily are creative, communicative, and deeply thoughtful about both design and functionality. They don’t just “build” sites — they solve problems creatively, collaborate like true partners, and bring fully fledged visions and even half-baked ideas to life in ways that go beyond expectations and they're local, to boot! Can't recommend them enough!"
Megan Stoll
Duck Club Entertainment, Co-founder
Impressed by their commitment...
White Whale Web demonstrates an uplifting community ethos in addition to design and technical expertise in website development. I worked with Aaron and Randy on a project for the Friends of Idaho Public Television, and I was impressed by their commitment and can-do nature throughout the project. They were great communicators and project managers, and they responded well and promptly to feedback, helping the vision to take shape in a timely fashion. Website development often can be an unwieldy and frustrating process. With Aaron and Randy, it was productive and fun, and it achieved the result we want. I appreciate their work greatly!"

How White-Label Works
White label web development means we do the work and you take the credit. We build under your agency's brand, never contact your clients without permission, and never compete for the relationship. You remain the agency of record.
Only if you want them to. By default we stay entirely behind your brand and never contact your clients. If you authorize us to engage directly, we do it under your branding using email aliases on your domain. Either way, we sign your NDA as standard practice.
We invoice you at $115/hr (discounted from our $125/hr retail rate) or at a fixed bid. You invoice your client at your standard rate. We do not interact with your client's billing or contracts.
If you authorize it, we join calls and email threads as a member of your team, using your branding and an email alias on your domain. Most partner agencies handle client communication themselves and never need this, but the option is there.
The three projects above are partner-agency engagements that we have permission to share. Most of our partner work stays behind the partner agency's brand, because that is what those agencies pay us for. When you partner with us, your work is yours to release or keep private.
Yes. We are currently the white-label development partner for five agencies across Seattle, California, and Idaho. We do not name them, and that is exactly why those agencies chose us.
Scope and Stack
WordPress (including Elementor, Gutenberg, and our in-house framework), custom Laravel applications, accessibility, and ongoing maintenance.
Yes. WordPress is our most common white label offering, including theme development, plugin customization, Elementor Pro, Gutenberg, and our in-house framework. All delivered under your brand.
Yes. We build custom Laravel applications, APIs, and integrations as a white label partner. Your client never knows we're involved unless you want them to.
Yes. We hold formal accessibility expertise and use our in-house tool Wha11y in addition to Lighthouse, VoiceOver, and Siteimprove. We can deliver audits, remediation, or full conformance to WCAG 2.2 AA.
Yes. We do not have a project minimum for partner agencies on hourly engagements.
Yes. Our Webmaster service can be white-labeled. Many of our partner agencies use this to add a recurring revenue line without staffing it themselves.
Capacity, Speed, and Accountability
Yes, when we have capacity. Rush availability is the strongest reason to have a retainer rather than ad-hoc overflow.
Typical onboarding for partner agencies is one to two weeks from NDA to first project kickoff. Faster if scope is small and clear.
Yes. Our hourly overflow rate is $115/hr, discounted from our $125/hr retail rate. No minimum commitment. Send work as it comes in and we'll turn it around under your brand.
Discretion, accountability, and communication. We sign your NDA, follow your process, and stand by our work. If something goes wrong after launch, we own it and fix it at no charge.
We own it. Bugs we introduced get fixed at no charge. We do not hide behind scope language to escape accountability. Your reputation is on the line, and so is ours.
