Your Technical Partner
When a client project needs technical work your team doesn't cover, we handle it. You deliver to your client.
Gordon has spent close to two decades building and fixing things for businesses. For the past year, Farington Consultancy has been working with a Scottish design agency as their technical partner, and the model works well enough to offer it more widely.
The arrangement is straightforward. When a client project needs technical work your team doesn't cover, you bring us in. We handle it, you deliver to your client. When the project is done, we step back until the next one.
What this looks like in practice
Every agency hits a point where a client needs something beyond design and content. A CRM plugin that does something specific. A site that's slow and nobody knows why. Hosting that needs migrating. A custom build that's beyond what page builders offer. An integration between two systems that should talk to each other but don't.
These are the problems Farington Consultancy solves. Gordon has been doing it long enough that most technical problems look familiar, even when the specifics are new.
How it works with agencies
- You tell us what the client needs
- We scope it, give you a clear idea of cost and timescale
- We build it, keep you updated, deliver it ready for your client
- If something breaks later, you call us
No retainer. No minimum commitment. Bill per project or per hour, whichever suits you. Available when you need us and out of the way when you don't.
What we cover
- Custom plugin and integration development (WordPress, Statamic, CRM platforms)
- Hosting, infrastructure, and migrations
- Performance problems and site reliability
- Builds beyond page builders: web applications, portals, APIs
- Technical advice when you're not sure what a project needs
Why Farington Consultancy
Gordon was CTO of a software company for six years, taking it from inception to acquisition. He knows what good technical delivery looks like because he has been responsible for it at every level. Not learning on the job.
Based in Dundee, working with Scottish businesses by preference. A real person you can reach out to, not a faceless outsourcing arrangement.
If your agency could use a reliable technical partner, start a conversation.
