In one answer
PixelCrayons is your point of contact for a dedicated engineering team; our sister company ValueCoders sources and delivers the engineers, under one proposal and one account team. That covers a distributed pod added to your existing roadmap: engineers who work in your tools and your stand-ups, scaled monthly, without you running a second vendor relationship. PixelCrayons scopes the team, writes the proposal, and stays your account owner for the whole relationship, including any website, store or marketing work that sits alongside it. ValueCoders is named plainly throughout, never hidden behind our name.

Who does what
One contact, one proposal, two teams.
01
One point of contact, one proposal
You brief PixelCrayons once on what the team needs to do. We scope the roles and seniority mix and write a single proposal, then stay your account owner throughout.
Every engagement
02
A distributed engineering pod
Engineers sourced and delivered by our sibling company ValueCoders, embedded in your tools and stand-ups, resized monthly as scope changes.
ValueCoders
03
Interview before signing
You meet the proposed engineers directly before committing, and can ask us to propose again if someone isn't the right fit.
Every hire
04
One escalation path
Status, billing coordination and escalation all run through PixelCrayons' account team, whichever company is holding the keyboard that week.
Every engagement
05
The marketing and web side, still ours
Where the engagement also needs a marketing site, a store front end or an SEO programme, that stays PixelCrayons' own work, coordinated by the same account team.
PixelCrayons
How it works
Brief to an embedded team, one contact throughout.
01
Days 1 to 2
Brief & scope
You describe the roadmap and the gap; PixelCrayons scopes the roles and seniority mix the team actually needs.
02
Complete brief
One proposal, roles named
A written proposal naming each role, its seniority, and an itemised monthly rate, with PixelCrayons and ValueCoders' responsibilities both stated plainly.
03
Week 1
Meet the engineers
You interview every proposed engineer on a video call. Not the right fit? We propose again before anything is signed.
04
Ongoing
Scale monthly, one contact throughout
Add capacity when the backlog grows, step down when it doesn't. PixelCrayons' account team stays your single point of contact the whole way through.
Inside Prism
Your engagement, week to week, in one workspace.
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.
Each decision recorded, with the expectation attached.
How we report it, in Prism
The delivery record, you can read without a stand-up.
What you receive in month one
Development is reported as artefacts in your own tools, not a status call. In the first month you receive the technical audit of the current codebase, the delivery plan broken into reviewed increments with acceptance criteria, and the environment map showing where code runs and who can deploy it. The weekly review in Prism lists what merged, what was reviewed, and what is blocked and by whom.
01Technical audit: the current codebase, its risks, and the order of fixes
02Delivery plan: increments with acceptance criteria and review owners
03Environment map: development, staging and production, and who deploys
04Weekly review in Prism: merged, in review, blocked, and the reason for each block
05Definition of done: tests, review, accessibility and performance checks per increment
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.
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.
Who owns the ad accounts, the data and the work?
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.
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.
Our sister company ValueCoders sources and delivers them; that's their practice group-wide. PixelCrayons is your point of contact for the relationship: we scope the team, write the single proposal, and stay your account owner throughout, including for any website, store or marketing work alongside the engagement. ValueCoders is named plainly here and throughout delivery, never hidden behind our name.
Yes, it's a step in the process, not a favour. Once engineers are proposed, you meet each one on a video call before anything is signed, and can ask us to propose a replacement if someone doesn't fit.
The /hire pages staff a single named role (a React developer, a QA engineer) through PixelCrayons' own bench. This page is for a broader distributed engineering pod sourced through our sibling company ValueCoders, typically a mixed-seniority team rather than one role. If you know the exact single role you need, the matching /hire page may be the simpler starting point.
One account team, for the whole relationship. ValueCoders' name and role are stated plainly in the proposal and throughout delivery, but escalation, billing coordination and status reporting all run through the same PixelCrayons account team you signed with.
There's no flat rate card: the roles, seniority mix and team size set the cost. Every proposal is scoped against your brief and itemises exactly what's included, naming which company delivers which part. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your proposal.
Brief the team you need, we'll name who does what.
A scoped, itemised proposal naming PixelCrayons' role as your point of contact and ValueCoders' role as the engineering team, under one account owner throughout.
