Captain
Project Lead
Holds the course and the deadlines. One person you speak to about everything — no “I'll pass that to the developer”.
Backs deadlines with the company's money, not with promises ⚓
Full-cycle IT outsourcing
NEWGATE TEAM
A boarding crew for your IT work. We take on projects of any size — from a landing page to a high-load system. We write code, salvage other people's legacy, raise infrastructure and never leave the wheel after launch.
- We start in 3 days
- NDA signed, code rights yours
- Access to the repo and tracker
- Support after handover
Crew
Who holds the wheel
Newgate Team is not a freelance marketplace, and not a manager with contractors rounded up in a chat. It is one crew that has sailed together for years: everyone owns their stretch of deck and answers for it. You don't get separate hired hands, you get a working crew for the job — with process, code review, and a replacement within three days if anyone goes ashore.
Navigator
Analyst
Turns “like theirs, only better” into a clear spec, a prototype and a quote with no surprises.
“Make it look nice” becomes a 40-page spec. And it works.
Gunners
Backend
Architecture, APIs, databases, integrations, load. They write it so it can still be grown a year from now.
They hole any legacy below the waterline 💣
Riggers
Frontend & Mobile
Interfaces that load fast and don't fall apart on an accountant's Android 9 phone.
We set the sails so it flies even on 3G
Bosun
DevOps & SRE
Servers, CI/CD, monitoring, backups. So a release is a button, not a Friday-night ritual.
The lantern below deck never goes out — alerts reach us, not you
Lookout
QA
Spots bugs before your customer does. Automated tests, regression, a checklist for every release.
Sees the reef a mile off. Especially on a Friday.
Storms
Trouble we take off your hands
Hover over any trouble and we'll show how we handle it. The list covers nearly everything people come to us with: from “the contractor vanished” to “we want AI but don't know what for”.
The contractor vanished with the deposit
What we doWe take the project over: a code and access audit in 3 days, an honest verdict on what's alive and what's dead, a plan, and work carries on. No rewrite from scratch if it can be avoided.
Legacy nobody dares touch
What we doWe wrap it in tests, refactor module by module and release in pieces. The business keeps running while we change its engine.
The site falls over at peak load
What we doProfiling, caching, queues, query optimisation, horizontal scaling. We run a load test and show you the numbers before and after.
No documentation, it all lives in one head
What we doWe map the architecture, draw the diagrams, write deployment guides and onboarding. Knowledge stops being one person's hostage.
A release costs a week of nerves
What we doWe set up CI/CD, automated tests, staging and one-button rollback. Deployment becomes ten minutes instead of a night shift.
An in-house team costs too much
What we doWe assemble a crew for the job and stand it down when it's not needed. No hiring, holidays, idle time, hardware or HR budget.
Half the work is done by hand
What we doWe automate the routine: bots, scripts, automatic reports, request and document processing. We count the hours saved before we start.
Your systems don't talk to each other
What we doIntegrations with ERP, CRM, warehouses, payment providers, marketplaces and telephony. One source of truth instead of five spreadsheets.
Security holes and no backups
What we doAn audit, patched vulnerabilities, proper access control, encryption, a WAF, and regular backups with restore testing.
The MVP was needed yesterday
What we doWe build a working version in 4–6 weeks: only what tests the hypothesis. After that we grow it on results, not on wishes.
There is no mobile app
What we doiOS and Android — native or cross-platform, depending on the job and the budget. Store publishing is on us.
All the data lives in spreadsheets
What we doWe pull the data into one place and build real-time dashboards and reports. Decisions get made on numbers, not on hunches.
“We want AI but don't know what for”
What we doAI assistants, search across your knowledge base, document and call processing, drafted replies. We only deploy it where the maths works out.
Hosting is expensive and still goes down
What we doWe run the numbers, move you to the cloud or your own hardware, set up Docker/Kubernetes, autoscaling and monitoring. The move happens without downtime.
The in-house team can't keep up
What we doWe plug 1–5 specialists straight into your process and tracker. The first two weeks are a trial: if someone doesn't fit, we swap them.
Nobody owns the result
What we doOne captain accountable, weekly demos, a report on tasks and hours. You always know what's done, what's next and what it cost.
Didn't find your trouble on the list? Then it's an unusual one — which is exactly what we like. Describe the job and we'll come back with a plan within a day.
Describe the job
SOS
If the project is already going under
Not every call to us is a new project from scratch. Often it’s a rescue operation: the contractor vanished, nobody dares touch the legacy code, releases keep slipping, the infrastructure can’t take the load, or your in-house team is drowning in scope. We run a separate process for exactly this.
Day 0 · Signal
We take the call
A call or a message — tell us what’s on fire. We decide within the day whether it’s our kind of case, no forms and no sales pitch.
Days 1–3 · Audit
We see what’s inside
Code, access, infrastructure, the history of decisions. We say plainly what’s alive, what’s dead, and what isn’t worth saving.
Week 1 · Plan
We stop the bleeding
We hand over a prioritized recovery plan and immediately close out critical bugs, security risks and stuck releases.
Weeks 2–4 · Stabilization
We get it predictable
From there it’s your call: take the stabilized code and access and go, or keep us on as the permanent crew.
Does this sound like you?
- The contractor vanished or missed deadlines
- Legacy code nobody dares to change
- Releases keep slipping
- Infrastructure can’t take the load
- Your in-house team is drowning in scope
The crew's code
Why it's calmer with us
A pirate code is a set of rules you don't break. Here is ours. Hover over an article — there's a note in the margin.
The quote and the deadline are fixed
We sign off the spec, the price and the deadline. If it slips through our fault, we finish at our own cost.
Said and done. Otherwise we pay for it ourselves ⚖
Full transparency
Access to the repository, the tracker and the servers from day one. You see every commit and every hour.
The hold is open: look at anything, any time
The code and the rights are yours
An NDA before the conversation starts. Exclusive rights are handed over by deed, with no lock-in to us.
Want to move on? Take everything with you. We don't keep hostages.
Our own crew, not a marketplace
These people have worked together for years. If someone drops out, we replace them in 3 days without losing context.
Nobody vanishes with your money: the company answers for its crew
Six-month warranty
Bugs that are our fault get fixed free. No arguing about whether it's a bug or a feature.
Six months after handover we're still on the line
Sprints and live demos
Every week we show working results. Priorities change mid-course, not after delivery.
We correct course at sea, not in the destination port
We don't vanish after launch
Support, monitoring, further development. The project isn't orphaned the day after handover.
The lantern stays lit after you've gone ashore
We count your money
If a cheaper solution closes the job, we'll propose it — even when the opposite pays us better.
Your second project matters more to us than one extra invoice on the first
Service
Service fit for a flagship
Plenty of people can write code. The difference shows in how they talk to you on Monday morning — and at 23:40 on Friday when something goes down.
One person accountable for the whole project
The captain takes you from the first call through to support. You never have to retell the job to a fifth person.
A shared chat, not tickets into the void
Telegram or Slack with the crew inside. A question gets an answer, not “your request has been received, number 4712”.
Under 30 minutes on anything critical
Round-the-clock duty on supported projects. Alerts reach us before they reach your customers.
A demo every week
You see a working product, not a report saying “work is ongoing”. Your notes go into the next sprint.
Documents in plain language
Specs, quotes, deeds and reports written so that more than just the CTO can read them.
Onboarding in one day
Access, environment, plan and the first call within 24 hours. Development starts on day two.
We never leave the wheelSLA · 24/7 · one captain
For agencies
Extra crew flying your flag
If you’re an agency short on dev hands, you don’t need to hire a staff. We plug 1–5 specialists straight into your process and your tracker, and the client still only sees you.
Overflow
Short on hands for 1–2 projects
We plug in developers or DevOps for a fixed stretch — exactly the load your team can’t carry right now.
Embedded
You need standing engineering capacity
Our specialists work as part of your team on an ongoing basis — in your Slack, your sprints, your code review.
Dev Department
Your agency has no dev team of its own
We cover backend, frontend and DevOps end to end under your brand — from client request to release.
We work white-label: an NDA on the brand, communication under your name, reporting to you alone. The client sees your team, not ours.
Discuss a partnership
Fair wind
Why this is our moment
The development market got shaken up: some teams left, some grew expensive, some are stuck on a five-year-old stack. We ended up at the point where speed, price and quality finally meet in one crew.

AI is built into the process, not the pitch
Code generation, automated tests, review and documentation all run alongside AI. Routine work goes 2–3 times faster, and we hand that saving back in schedule and price instead of keeping it as margin.
A stack that won't be old news in a year
We don't drag old junk around ourselves: TypeScript, Go, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, modern front-end frameworks. Your project won't be legacy the day it ships.
Industry experience instead of experiments on you
E-commerce, logistics, fintech, education, healthcare, manufacturing. We've already stepped on the usual rakes in these fields — on our own projects, not on your budget.
Decisions in hours, not weeks
We're big enough to deliver a whole project and small enough to agree a change on a call, rather than through three departments and a committee.
| What we compare | Newgate Team | A freelancer | A big agency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to start | 3 days | 1–2 weeks | 1–2 months |
| Price for the result | Mid-range, no hidden invoices | Low — until the first problem | High, plus bureaucracy |
| If someone drops out | Replaced in 3 days | You start the search over | Weeks of approvals |
| Transparency | Repo and tracker from day one | Luck of the draw | A report once a month |
| Warranty | 6 months | Usually none | Per contract, usually paid |
| Who you talk to | The captain and the developers | The freelancer themselves | An account manager |
| Rights to the code | Yours, handed over by deed | Whatever you agreed verbally | Yours, with conditions attached |

The loot
A bonus for new hands aboard
Open the chest — inside is what we hand over before any work begins, with no obligation to continue with us.
Tap to open
Bonus one
A basic audit, free
We go through your site, your code and your infrastructure and hand you a report with specific findings. You are under no obligation to continue with us afterwards.
- Load speed and exactly what is slowing it down
- Code quality and the main technical risks
- Security, access control, backups
- Infrastructure bottlenecks and wasted spend
- Priorities: what to fix first
- A 40-minute call walking through the report
Bonus two
DevOps setup on the house
If we start development, we set up the infrastructure for free. It is normally a separate line in the quote.
- CI/CD: build, test and deploy at the push of a button
- A Docker environment and a staging server
- Monitoring and alerts — to us first, then to you
- Automatic backups with restore testing
P.S. More people take the audit than argue about the price. You have nothing to lose ⚓
Boarding
Set sail
Describe the job in two sentences. We'll come back with a plan, a timeline and a budget range within one working day — no “send us a full spec and then we'll quote”.
