Where the work happens
Brands our teams have delivered for
In one answer
PixelCrayons, a Vinove company established in 2004, delivers marketing, web and commerce development, design and AI as one accountable team. Agencies white-label the work under their own brand, with client-protection terms agreed before work begins. Brands work with us directly, buying one service or several on one plan, alongside the providers they already have.
Four disciplines, one contract, all in-house
SEO, AI search, paid and lifecycle on one roadmap. AI search means being cited by ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, not just ranked in blue links. Paid media, content and email run by the same team, against the same plan.
Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and headless builds, handed over documented. Platform migrations with zero data loss, and performance rescue for builds other teams left behind. Code reviewed and tested before you see it.
03
Designed and built by the same team, so what ships is what was signed off. Product UI, marketing sites and brand systems, accessible to the WCAG 2.1 AA standard, with performance budgets set before the build rather than sold as upsells.
04
Not demos. Deployed systems. Support chatbots grounded in your knowledge base, workflow automation that removes real hours, and personalisation that survives contact with production traffic.
The coordination tax
Four vendors, four roadmaps,
one missing result.
Most digital budgets don't fail on quality. They fail in the seams: the handovers between suppliers who each did their own part correctly.
The usual stack
- SEO agencywaiting on someone else's dev queue
- Dev shopno idea which pages earn the traffic
- Design freelancerhands over files, not outcomes
- Automation vendorreports to nobody
- SEO fixes ship in the same sprint as the code behind them
- One roadmap, a named coordinator and a clear escalation path
- Design ships as built, tested pages, not handoff files
- Automation reports into the same numbers as the campaigns

Coordination is the tax nobody budgets for.
It costs more projects than bad work does, and it never shows up on any single vendor's invoice.
The stack, compared
One team, or the integration job.
The comparison isn't about talent. Good specialists exist everywhere. It's about who owns the result when the work crosses disciplines.

| Separate specialists | In-house hires | One growth team | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who owns the result | Split across contracts, each vendor owns a part | You, once you've assembled and managed it | One team accountable for acquisition, conversion and retention together |
| Coordination | You are the integration layer | Internal, after the org chart settles | Inside one sprint, by construction |

If your problem is genuinely one narrow thing, and you already know it is, a specialist boutique will go deeper in that single lane. We'd rather say so than pretend otherwise. This structure earns its keep when the problem crosses disciplines.
Three ways to engage
Pick the shape,
not a package.
Every engagement is scoped line by line; these are the three shapes it can take.
01 · Work with a real finish line
Fixed-scope project
A migration, a replatform, an audit-and-fix: scoped line by line, priced once, delivered against milestone dates. When it's done, it's done.
See Pricing02 · Compounding work: SEO, paid, lifecycle
Growth retainer
A monthly cycle of build, measure and improve against the targets agreed in the proposal, reported weekly, rescoped quarterly, cancellable without theatre.
See Pricing03 · A standing pod inside your process
Extend your team
Named specialists working in your tools and your stand-ups: capacity that scales up and down monthly without a hiring cycle.
How dedicated teams workHow it starts
From brief to first deliverable.
Four steps.
01
Brief
Scope & NDA
A 30-minute call. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your written proposal. NDA signed before we see anything sensitive. No discovery-call gauntlet while the problem keeps costing you.
02
Start
Discovery & access
Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed. Coordinator and escalation contact named. Accounts, analytics and codebase audited. Plan converted into a sprint you can see.
03
Build
First build
The first real output takes shape: a design, an audit with fixes, or deployed code. Not a slide deck.
04
Review
First deliverable
Something concrete in your hands. The weekly review in Prism runs from here; agency partners get the write-up in their own templates.
Two doors, one engine
Growing a business?
Running an agency?
Two doors, one delivery engine, and a firewall between them. Agency work is never a pipeline for direct clients, and the two lanes never blur. That separation is contractual, and it is the foundation the white-label side is built on.
For businessesDirect
Marketing that performs. Builds that convert.
SEO that brings buyers, ads that pay for themselves, email that sells while you sleep, and the Shopify or WordPress build behind it all. One plan, and you know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. No five-month hiring cycle.
Explore services for businessesFor agenciesWhite-label
Your brand on the work. Our team behind it.
SEO, PPC, development and design delivered under your logo. NDA-backed, and we do not 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. NDA first, then the rate card, so you can quote from it before you've won the pitch.
White-label by design
We deliver under your agency's brand and respect your client relationships. Confidentiality and client-protection terms are agreed before work begins, and we do not publish named case studies about your clients.
Contractual, not discretionary
We do not approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business. Confidentiality and client-protection terms, including an NDA, are agreed before work begins, written down and enforceable.
Track record, verifiable
Since 2004. Client protection agreed before work begins.
Industries
Sector constraints,
named upfront.
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.
In their words
Don't take
our word for it.
Twelve clients across eCommerce, WordPress, PPC, reputation and long-term development work, quoted as they gave it.
Working with PixelCrayons was one of the smoothest experiences we've had. They not only delivered on all fronts, but elevated it. Despite a tight deadline and modest budget, they delivered above expectation, and made the handover process feel effortless.
The platform
Requests, reviews and decisions
in Prism.
Where the engagement includes it, you get a Prism workspace login at kickoff. Requests, approvals, tasks, reviews and every decision live there, so you never chase a status update.
Requests and approvals in one place
Raise a request, approve a piece of work, and see who owns it and when it is due.
A weekly review, decisions recorded
Each decision is written down with the expectation attached, so the next review starts from evidence.
Cost per qualified lead, fully loaded
Where we run media, spend, people, tools and retainers are divided by qualified leads. Unmeasured spend shows as unknown, never zero.
Who owns what, written down
Know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue.
Before you sign
Our commitments
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.
Full terms30-Day Corrective Maintenance
Applicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.
Development engagements only; not marketing services or retainers.
Full termsClear IP & Ownership Terms
Your materials remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts.
All engagements.
Full termsClear Delivery & Escalation Ownership
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.
Full terms14-Day Risk-Free Trial
For eligible managed specialists. Up to 14 calendar days or 80 logged working hours, whichever comes first. End within the trial and pay nothing for eligible trial hours. Continue beyond it and those hours are billed at the agreed rate. Unpaid trial work remains ours if you stop.
Eligible managed-specialist roles only, one trial per customer. Not offered for AI, chatbot, prompt, automation, API-integration or QA work. Brand and graphic designers, brand strategists, video editors, content writers, copywriters and content marketers start with a paid pilot.
Full termsTime-zone overlap
At least four hours a day inside your core working hours. Two hours plus a daily written handover for the US West Coast.
Managed specialists only; not a staffing promise for project teams.
Full termsClient protection in writing
We deliver under your agency's brand and respect your client relationships. We do not approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business. Confidentiality and client-protection terms are agreed before work begins.
Agency engagements. Protection runs through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends.
Full termsWill my clients find out that you did the work?
We deliver under your agency's brand and respect your client relationships. Confidentiality and client-protection terms are agreed before work begins, and we do not publish named case studies about your clients. We use your agency's own name, logo or testimonial only with your prior approval.
Will you go around us to my client?
We do not approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business. That protection runs through the work and for twelve months after the last assignment for that client ends, and it is written into the agreement. If one of your clients contacts us directly, we tell you and resolve the enquiry through you.
How does time-zone overlap work?
Your engineers work at least four hours a day inside your core working hours. We set the window with you before the engagement starts and hold it for as long as the engagement runs. For the US West Coast the live overlap is two hours each morning, with a written handover at the end of every Indian day. We do not run night shifts: engineers who work nights leave quickly, and keeping the same people on your team matters more to us than a longer overlap.
How quickly can you respond and start?
We typically respond within four business hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm IST, excluding published holidays. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed. We confirm a proposal date once we have a sufficiently complete brief.
Why pay you rather than a local agency?
We quote each engagement in a written proposal, and the initial consultation, standard proposal and straightforward scoping are free. The proposal states the deliverables, exclusions, fees and currency, payment milestones and any third-party costs, so you can compare it line by line with a local quote. You can buy one service or several, and keep the providers you already have.
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.
We run marketing, development, design and AI as one senior team. Agencies use us as a white-label delivery partner under their own brand, and we work directly as a digital growth partner for brands. Established in 2004, with 4,500+ projects delivered.
It's the position that names how we work: marketing, web and commerce engineering, design, and AI operated as one system rather than four vendors. Put simply, it is a digital innovation partner that builds and runs the work, not one that only advises. Operationally it means SEO improvements and the technical fixes that enable them ship in the same sprint, campaigns and the pages they land on are built by the same team, and one weekly report ties all of it to revenue.
We deliver under your agency's brand and respect your client relationships: your tools, your reporting templates, your client calls. We do not approach the clients you introduce to us for direct business, and confidentiality and client-protection terms are agreed before work begins. Long-standing client relationships, including multi-year engagements.
We typically respond within four business hours. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your proposal. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed.
Yes, that's the normal path. Most partners vet us months before they have work. Joining the bench gets you a rate card, capability pack, NDA and a named contact, so you are ready the day a client signs.
Three shapes, no packages: fixed-scope projects priced once against a line-by-line scope, monthly growth retainers for compounding work, and dedicated teams that scale monthly. Every proposal is itemised by deliverable, and once we have a complete brief we confirm the date you will receive it. The pricing page explains what moves the number.
Answer Engine Optimization and Generative Engine Optimization make your content citable by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews: structured data, answer-first architecture, entity clarity. We build both into every engagement alongside classic SEO.
No, our development practice is websites, eCommerce and the web platforms around them. Mobile app products, SaaS platforms and custom software products are handled by our sibling company. We route those enquiries there directly, so you still leave the first conversation with the right team.
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.
Headquartered in Noida, India, serving clients across North America, Europe, the Middle East and APAC. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue.
More than marketing. One team runs marketing, web and commerce development, design and AI on one roadmap, with one named coordinator and one escalation path. SEO fixes ship in the same release as the code behind them. Mobile apps and custom software products go to our sibling company, and we route those enquiries there directly.
How we handle claims, credentials and your data: group credentials, dated ratings, how case figures are signed off, client permissions and data handling.
