Outsource Drupal Development — Fixed Price, You Own the Code

Hiring a Drupal specialist takes months and assumes you can judge one in an interview. Keeping one occupied assumes a steady pipeline of Drupal work. For most organisations neither holds, which is why the work goes outside — the real question is what you are handing over, and what happens when it goes wrong.

Our answer is the same for every engagement: you own the source code from day one, the price is fixed once the architecture is agreed, and the warranty runs up to three years from the team that built it. Those three things are what make outsourcing safe rather than cheap.

What you are actually buying

A team that has done this before, not one learning on your project

A committed date and price once the architecture is agreed

Full source code, yours from day one

Warranty up to three years, same team

Weekly working demos, so progress is visible rather than reported

No lock-in: standards-compliant code any Drupal team can continue

The honest risks of outsourcing, and what we do about them

You cannot see the work

The usual failure: months of status reports, then a delivery that is not what you meant. We put working software in front of you in the first weeks and every week after, so scope decisions are made against something running.

You cannot leave

Code you do not own, on infrastructure only they can operate, is leverage. You get the repository from day one and it runs on your own servers or cloud account.

Nobody can maintain it afterwards

Drupal coding standards, automated test coverage and documentation written for a developer who has never met us. Another team can pick it up — that is the test.

The price moves

Discovery is paid and credited on award. After the architecture is agreed the price and date are fixed, with scope, integrations and migration priced in rather than discovered later.

Time zones and communication

We are remote-first and distributed, and have worked with clients across four continents since 2012. Overlap hours are agreed at the start rather than assumed.

Common questions

Do we hire developers, or buy a project?

Either. A fixed-scope project is the usual arrangement and the one where the fixed price and warranty apply. Dedicated capacity alongside your own team also works when the roadmap is yours to set.

What does it cost?

Published engagement bands are on our pricing page — custom development, product-based builds and ongoing maintenance each sit in a different range. The specific number comes from discovery, which is paid and credited if you award the work.

How do we know the code is any good?

Ask for the repository during the build rather than at the end. Automated tests and Drupal coding standards are part of what ships, and our contributed modules on drupal.org are public — one of them is used by thousands of sites.

What if we already have a team?

Then the useful version is usually the work your team should not be doing: a migration, a module, an audit. Augmenting a team that exists is different from replacing one, and we scope it that way.

Are you an agency or a product company?

Both, and it is worth knowing which is talking to you. We build client projects and we maintain 12 production platforms of our own. The platforms are why a build often starts further along than zero.
