Founder & CEO
Parvessh Agarwal
An entrepreneur at heart. He links business analysis, strategy, clear goals and ROI to practical technology.
One senior team,
working together since 2004.
Our marketing, development, design and AI work has been under one roof since 2004. Design and development came first, then marketing, and AI is our newest practice. Agencies use our senior teams under their own brand (500+ agencies served). Brands hire us directly when they want one plan instead of four suppliers.

PixelCrayons is a Growth Engineering Partner. We bring marketing, web and commerce engineering, design, and AI together in one accountable team to improve how businesses acquire, convert, and retain customers. For agencies, we deliver the same engine as white-label execution under their brand, and we don't approach the clients they introduce to us for direct business.

How we're built
Four disciplines
under one roof.
Each practice is senior on its own. The difference comes when they stop being four suppliers with four plans and work as one team with one plan.
01MarketingSEO, AI search, paid ads, content and email, run on one plan. We report on it weekly against revenue.02DevelopmentOnline stores, websites, migrations and speed work. Each one is reviewed, documented and handed over properly.03DesignProduct screens, marketing sites and brand systems. The same team designs and builds them, so what goes live matches the design.04AIChatbots that answer from your own knowledge base, workflow automation and personalisation. We build working systems, not demos.05White-label deliveryYour brand on the work, backed by an NDA, with client-protection terms agreed before work begins.06How we workWe typically respond within four business hours. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue.
Senior people, with our promises in writing.
The people who plan your work in the proposal stay responsible for delivering it. We do not approach the clients a partner introduces to us for direct business: that protection runs through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends. It is written into the agreement. You meet the team on a call before anything is signed.

Where it started
How PixelCrayons started:
good work before a known name.
We built our skills before we built our name. PixelCrayons started in 2004 as a small design boutique on open bidding platforms. Nobody knows your name there. Every job goes to whoever shows they can do it, then shows it again the next week. The work mattered more than the name on it, and it still does.
Agencies noticed us before brands did. One-off projects grew into long white-label partnerships. We turned designs into website themes in volume under their brands, alongside hundreds of marketing projects. For a while our lower-priced theming service had its own name, MarkupBox. Then buyers asked who could own the whole result, so it merged back in. We have delivered work that someone else signs since 2004. It shapes how our white-label work runs. Client-protection terms are agreed before work begins. We work inside a partner's tools, and our reports are ready for an agency to present unedited. Today the same team also works directly for brands.
Marketing has run alongside our build work for most of our history. Leading with it now changes the emphasis, not the direction.

Our commitments
Each one says where it applies and links to its full terms.
Response and start times
We typically respond within four business hours. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed.
Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm IST, excluding published company holidays. Typical expectations, not guaranteed service levels.
Full terms30-Day Corrective Maintenance
Applicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.
Development engagements, including partner (agency) development engagements and AI implementations; not marketing services or retainers.
Full termsClear IP & Ownership Terms
Your materials remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts.
All engagements.
Full termsClear Delivery & Escalation Ownership
Know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue.
All engagements. Roles may be combined and vary with your engagement.
Full terms14-Day Risk-Free Trial
For eligible managed specialists. Up to 14 calendar days or 80 logged working hours, whichever comes first. End within the trial and pay nothing for eligible trial hours. Continue beyond it and those hours are billed at the agreed rate. Unpaid trial work remains ours if you stop.
Eligible managed-specialist roles only, one trial per customer. Not offered for AI, chatbot, prompt, automation, API-integration or QA work. Brand and graphic designers, brand strategists, video editors, content writers, copywriters and content marketers start with a paid pilot.
Full termsTime-zone overlap
At least four hours a day inside your core working hours. Two hours plus a daily written handover for the US West Coast.
Managed specialists only; not a staffing promise for project teams.
Full termsClient protection in writing
We deliver under your agency's brand and respect your client relationships. We do not approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business. Confidentiality and client-protection terms are agreed before work begins.
Agency engagements. Protection runs through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends.
Full termsWill my clients find out that you did the work?
We deliver under your agency's brand and respect your client relationships. Confidentiality and client-protection terms are agreed before work begins, and we do not publish named case studies about your clients. We use your agency's own name, logo or testimonial only with your prior approval.
Will you go around us to my client?
We do not approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business. That protection runs through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends, and it is written into the agreement. If one of your clients contacts us directly, we tell you and resolve the enquiry through you.
How does time-zone overlap work?
Your engineers work at least four hours a day inside your core working hours. We set the window with you before the engagement starts and hold it for as long as the engagement runs. For the US West Coast the live overlap is two hours each morning, with a written handover at the end of every Indian day. We do not run night shifts: engineers who work nights leave quickly, and keeping the same people on your team matters more to us than a longer overlap.
How quickly can you respond and start?
We typically respond within four business hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm IST, excluding published holidays. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed. We confirm a proposal date once we have a sufficiently complete brief.
Why pay you rather than a local agency?
We quote each engagement in a written proposal, and the initial consultation, standard proposal and straightforward scoping are free. The proposal states the deliverables, exclusions, fees and currency, payment milestones and any third-party costs, so you can compare it line by line with a local quote. You can buy one service or several, and keep the providers you already have.
What if we want to stop?
Cancellation, notice and any renewal terms are written into your proposal or statement of work before you accept it. If an engagement ends early, we hand over completed, paid-for work and list any unfinished work separately. For an eligible specialist trial, you can stop within the trial window and pay nothing for eligible trial hours.
How we handle claims, credentials and your data: group credentials, dated ratings, how case figures are signed off, client permissions and data handling.
Questions
Frequently
asked.
Our head office is in Noida, India, and we serve clients across North America, Europe, the Middle East and APAC. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue.
Senior-led, and we're happy to be held to it. A senior team runs every engagement. The people who scope your work in the proposal stay responsible for delivering it. We don't do the quiet switch some firms make: senior people in the pitch, juniors on the account.
Yes, on calls, before anything is signed. Agency partners meet their dedicated team before any client brief reaches it. We'd want the same in your place: you're putting your brand on our work.
Since 2004. We have delivered 4,500+ projects without a break, through every platform change from early CMS tools to AI search. Age alone proves nothing, but it does mean the team you hire has seen your problem before.
We have no public job listings right now. Senior people in marketing, development, design or AI can still apply. A senior person in that field reads every application, and you get a straight answer either way. The careers page explains how hiring works.
