For agencies
Frontend capacity for agencies, under your name.
KIVA is a small studio for frontend and web development: I build, and my team handles scheduling and administration. I take on build work for agencies as a white-label partner: you stay the sender towards your client, I work in the background.

What I take on
- 01
Websites and landing pages
Built from Figma or from your design system, responsive and cleanly structured.
- 02
Frontend components
HTML, CSS and JavaScript, TypeScript, React and Next.js.
- 03
Performance
Making heavy pages light. Shown by 40 shop redesigns: one homepage went from 88.13 to 1.22 MB, for example, and every new homepage loads in under 1 second at a simulated 10 Mbit/s.
See the shop redesign archive → - 04
Fixes and maintenance
Single tickets, bug fixes and ongoing upkeep of existing sites.

White-label, clearly agreed
- 01If you want, I sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before the briefing.
- 02No contact with your client unless you ask for it.
- 03No naming and no portfolio use without your written approval.
- 04On payment, your agency receives all transferable, exclusive rights of use in the work.
- 05Invoices go to the agency, in CHF.
I work in your tools: Git, Figma and your ticket system.
Time zones
Work done overnight
- Location
- Makati, Philippines (UTC+8)
- Time difference
- 6 hours ahead of Swiss summer time, 7 hours in winter
- Briefing by 17:00 Swiss time
- can be worked on overnight, with a preview the next morning
- Live overlap
- Swiss mornings, about 8:00–11:00
- Availability
- about 3 days a week for agency projects
This is the typical rhythm, not a guarantee: the size of the briefing decides.
Platform experience
For an international platform client I have also built larger production systems, including a real-time backend and order operations with an audit log. Details and code walkthroughs on request.
Language
Tickets, code comments and handover notes are in English. German and French front-end texts are taken over from your agency's templates. You're welcome to write to me in German or French: I reply with the help of translation tools. Calls are in English.
The easiest start is one ticket.
Send me a real ticket. You see code, communication and handover at a fixed price before you plan anything bigger.
