Choose a dedicated developer when
You have a stable codebase, clear priorities, someone technical to review work and enough consistent workload for one primary skill set.
- Clear backlog
- Internal technical owner
- Mostly one stack
- Ongoing capacity need
Choose a managed team when
The project needs several disciplines or the supplier must own architecture, sequencing, quality and release coordination.
- Multiple technologies
- New architecture
- Complex integrations
- Tight programme coordination
Hybrid models can work
A dedicated developer can handle the normal roadmap while specialist Midoriweb engineers join for performance, DevOps, security or integration work when needed.
- Core dedicated capacity
- Specialist escalation
- Shared standards
- Flexible scale
Consider continuity
A single developer creates concentration risk. A team model can provide broader continuity, but only if knowledge is documented and the delivery process is disciplined.
- Documentation
- Code review
- Shared access
- Handover
Questions to consider before you start
Is an agency always more expensive?
Not necessarily when the work genuinely needs multiple skills or management. Compare the whole delivery requirement.
Can we start with one developer and expand later?
Yes, subject to availability and project needs.
Can Midoriweb provide both models?
Yes. We offer individual developers, augmentation and managed project teams.
Who owns the code?
Commercial and IP terms should be agreed in the engagement contract; client project code is normally delivered according to those agreed terms.

Not sure which resourcing model fits?
Send the backlog, current team shape and required skills. We can recommend a proportionate approach.
