PixelCrayons builds websites, web apps and online stores, with engineering, QA and DevOps in one team. A senior team with a named lead builds your project in short, reviewed and tested rounds called sprints. You get a written update every week. We work directly for brands, and white-label (under your brand) for agencies.
Real projects for real clients, with results we can show.
We build everything from five-page sites to custom online stores. Your project is led by an engineer who builds that kind of work every week.
You're selling online and need the platform, migration or checkout work to match.
Part of your setup needs fixing or connecting, without a full rebuild.
Software products rather than websites. Our sibling company ValueCoders builds them, with one proposal and one account team.
When your plans are bigger than one build, add a dedicated team. Engineers, QA and a delivery lead work in your tools and your process, at a flat monthly rate. Agencies get white-label delivery. Brands get a direct line to the people writing the code.
Your team is made up of engineers who already work in your technology every week. Juniors don't learn on your budget. A named technical lead owns how the system is built and joins every demo call. So decisions come from someone you can talk to.
No code reaches your main branch without a review. A second senior engineer checks every change for errors, security and upkeep against a written standard. Your own team can then build on the code without digging through it.
Every sprint passes QA before release. Automated checks run on each change, and testers check it by hand across browsers and devices. Bugs are logged, fixed and retested before the demo. You review software that works.
You see working software at each sprint demo. Every week you get a written summary of what shipped and what comes next. One named contact sits in your Slack, Jira or Teams. If a date is at risk, we tell you early and offer options.
Your materials remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts. Documentation, environment runbooks and credentials are maintained as we go.
We sign an NDA and go through your goals, constraints, existing code and access. There's no discovery fee.
We confirm the date your proposal arrives. It lists what ships, who builds it, in what order and for how much.
You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.
Engineers who know your technology set up the code store and test servers in your accounts. Then they plan the first sprint with you.
Working software on a test site, shown to you on a call. From here, sprints repeat until the planned work is done.
Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.
Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, your build runs in a workspace you log into: requests, approvals, the task list and the weekly review, beside the repository your team already owns.
Raise a request in your workspace, approve a piece of work, and see who owns it and when it is due.
Every task has one owner and a date. Recurring work runs as a routine, so nothing depends on someone remembering.
Each decision is written down with the expectation attached: what we expect to change, and by when.
What we did and what happened sit side by side, so the next review starts from evidence rather than memory.
A US agency's healthcare client opened new locations faster than the agency could build features. We added a dedicated development team under the agency's brand, using their tools and standards. Delivery sped up 85% and the backlog cleared.
Our services are the same in every sector. What changes is the problem to solve first. Here are four industries we know well, and the rest of the list.
Founder & CEO
An entrepreneur at heart. He links business analysis, strategy, clear goals and ROI to practical technology.

Technical Manager
Brings technical work, client updates and project management together, so work moves smoothly from brief to launch.
LinkedIn →Every engagement
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.
Each one says where it applies and links to its full terms.
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 termsApplicable 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 termsYour materials remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts.
All engagements.
Full termsKnow 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 termsEvery delivery is reviewed before release by QA, your Project or Account Manager and a senior delivery lead, and you then review it against the acceptance criteria agreed at the start. Our specialists use AI to support delivery, with people responsible for reviewing the work. Applicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.
Your materials, data and accounts remain yours, and we prefer to work in advertising and analytics accounts you own, with access delegated to our team. Agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment; third-party software and assets keep their licences. We do not withhold customer-owned data or accounts over a payment dispute.
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.
Before work starts we agree how often you get updates, what the reports cover and who sends them. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. For hourly and retainer work, time is recorded in Workstatus, so you can see the time records behind your invoice.
How we handle claims, credentials and your data: group credentials, dated ratings, how case figures are signed off, client permissions and data handling.
Three ways of working cover most of our projects. Your scope decides which one we propose. Whichever it is, the proposal lists the work, the people and the timeline.
| Your situation | What we propose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A well-defined build with a settled scope | Fixed price | You compare what ships against a written, priced scope. |
| A roadmap bigger than one build | A dedicated team at a flat monthly rate | Engineers, QA and a delivery lead work in your tools and your process, sprint after sprint. |
| Requirements still moving | Time and materials | The work can change as you learn. A weekly written summary shows what shipped and what is next. |
| Your own team owns the core product | A team on one defined piece of work: a migration, a speed project, a list of features | We read your code and its conventions before we change anything. Who owns shared code is agreed in writing at the start. |
| A mobile app or a SaaS product | We route it to our sibling company | We build websites, online stores and the systems around them. You leave the first call with the right team. |
| A stack where we lack senior depth | We say so and point you elsewhere | We will not learn a technology on your budget. |
Every model starts the same way. We sign an NDA, talk through your scope, then send a written, priced proposal with no commitment.
It depends on what you're building, so we price your actual scope rather than a package. A fixed price suits a clear build. A monthly dedicated team suits ongoing work. Time and materials suits needs that keep changing. Every proposal lists the work, the people and the timeline, with no commitment.
Eligible engagements can typically start two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed. Before that comes an NDA, a call about your scope and an itemised proposal. If a niche stack means we can't start that quickly, we tell you before you sign.
Your materials, data and accounts remain yours. Agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment; third-party software and assets keep their licences. We do not withhold customer-owned data or accounts over a payment dispute. Documentation and credentials are handed over as we go rather than ransomed at the end.
We build with JavaScript and TypeScript (React, Next.js, Node.js), PHP (WordPress, WooCommerce, Laravel), Shopify and headless commerce. We also do the API, cloud and release work around them. Our engineers use these every week. If we lack senior skill in a technology, we say so and point you elsewhere.
Not ourselves. We build websites, online stores and the web systems around them. Our sibling company handles mobile apps, SaaS products and other product engineering. We pass those enquiries straight to them, so you still leave the first call with the right team.
Yes. Much of our development work goes out under partner agencies' brands. You keep the tools and client calls, and our engineers work behind the scenes. It's covered by an NDA. We don't approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business, through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends, and it's written into the agreement.
QA is part of every sprint. Automated checks run on every change, and a QA engineer tests across browsers and devices before each demo. Bugs are fixed and retested before you see the build. Our QA & Testing service runs the same process on code written by anyone.
We work alongside them. We read your code and its conventions before we change anything, follow your standards and use your review process. Our team takes one defined piece of work, such as a migration, a speed project or a list of features. Who owns any shared code is agreed in writing at the start.
Yes: we work as your delivery team, and your materials remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts. A named technical lead owns how the system is built, and a second senior engineer reviews every change. Documents and logins are handed over as we go.
Judge them on what you can check before you sign. Can you meet the named lead who will own your build? Will the code sit in your accounts, with ownership terms in writing? Will you get an itemised proposal and weekly written updates? That's how we work.
Each development service has its own row below. This row is for you if you want a team rather than a project. For one engineer, see Hire a developer.
Indicative: every figure is refined into an itemised proposal.INR figures shown excl. GST.
Tell us what you're building. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your itemised proposal. The estimate is yours to keep either way.
