Brands our teams have delivered for
PixelCrayons builds websites, web apps and online stores, with engineering, QA and DevOps in one team. A senior team with a named lead works in reviewed, tested sprints and sends a written update every week. We work direct for brands and white-label for agencies.
Outcomes tied to real engagements, not averages.
From a five-page marketing site to a custom storefront, every engagement is led by an engineer who ships that exact kind of build every week, not a generalist stretching to fit.
You're selling online and need the platform, migration or checkout work to match.
Something in the stack needs fixing or connecting, not a full rebuild.
A build closer to product engineering than a website: delivered by our sibling company ValueCoders, one proposal, one account team.
When the roadmap is bigger than one build, embed a dedicated team: engineers, QA and a delivery lead working in your tools, under your processes, at a flat monthly rate. Agencies get white-label delivery; brands get a direct line to the people writing the code.
Your team is staffed with engineers who already ship on your stack every week, not juniors learning on your invoice. A named technical lead owns the architecture and is on every demo call. Decisions get made by someone you can actually talk to.
Nothing reaches your main branch unreviewed. A second senior engineer checks every pull request for correctness, security and maintainability against a written standard. The codebase you inherit is one your own team can extend without archaeology.
Every sprint ships through a QA gate: automated checks in CI plus manual passes across browsers and devices. Defects are logged, fixed and retested before the demo. You review working software, not a list of known issues.
Sprint demos of working software, and a written weekly summary of what shipped and what's next. One named point of contact sits in your Slack, Jira or Teams. If a date is at risk you hear it from us early, with options, not excuses.
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 matched to your stack set up environments and the repository in your accounts, and plan the first sprint with you.
Working software on staging, demoed on a call. From here the sprint cadence runs until the roadmap is done.
Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.
Where the engagement includes it, your build runs in a Prism 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 kept growing locations faster than the agency could ship features. We embedded a dedicated development team under the agency's brand: their tools, their standards, our engineers. Delivery sped up 85% and the backlog cleared, all delivered under the agency's brand.
The disciplines don't change by sector. What changes is which constraint bites first. Four industries we run deep, and the rest of the directory.

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 only; not marketing services or retainers.
Full termsYour materials remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts.
All engagements.

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 engagement models cover most of our work. The scope decides which one we propose, and the proposal itemises deliverables, people and timeline whichever it is.
| 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, under your processes, sprint after sprint. |
| Requirements still moving | Time and materials | The work can follow what you learn, and the weekly written summary shows what shipped and what is next. |
| Your own team owns the core product | A team on one defined workstream: a migration, a performance pass, a feature backlog | We read the codebase and its conventions before any commit, and agree ownership of shared modules in writing at kickoff. |
| A mobile app or a SaaS product | We route it to our sibling company | Our practice is websites, eCommerce and the platforms around them, so you leave the first conversation 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: an NDA, a call about your scope, then a written, priced proposal with no commitment attached.
It depends on what you're building, so we price the scope, not a package. Fixed price suits well-defined builds, a monthly dedicated team suits ongoing roadmaps, and time and materials suits moving requirements. Every proposal itemises deliverables, people and timeline, with no commitment attached.
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.
JavaScript and TypeScript (React, Next.js, Node.js), PHP (WordPress, WooCommerce, Laravel), Shopify and headless commerce, plus the API, cloud and release-pipeline work around them. Our engineers ship in these stacks every week. If we lack senior depth in a technology, we say so and point you elsewhere.
Not ourselves. Our practice is websites, eCommerce and the web platforms around them. Mobile apps, SaaS products and other product engineering are handled by our sibling company, and we route those enquiries there directly, so you still leave the first conversation with the right team.
Yes. Much of our development work ships under partner agencies' brands: your tools and client calls, our engineers behind the scenes. It's NDA-backed. 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 merge, and a QA engineer tests across browsers and devices before each demo. Defects are fixed and retested before you review the build. Our QA & Testing service runs the same process on code written by anyone.
We build alongside them. We read the codebase and its conventions before any commit, match the standards in place and use your review process. Our team takes a defined workstream, such as a migration, a performance pass or a feature backlog, and ownership of any shared module is agreed in writing at kickoff.
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 the architecture and a second senior engineer reviews every merge, with documentation and credentials 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 repository sit in your accounts, with IP terms in writing, and will you get an itemised proposal and weekly written updates? That's how we work.
Every development service is priced on its own row below; this row is for buyers who want a team rather than a project. For a single 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.
