Case Study
Klatch
A marketing agency needed a white-label web development partner who could ship across WordPress, Shopify, and GoHighLevel at consistent quality — invisible to the end client, accountable to the agency.
The Result
40+ client builds delivered across WordPress, Shopify, and GoHighLevel as Klatch's white-label dev team
About the Client
Klatch is a full-service marketing agency that handles strategy, branding, and client relationships for small and mid-sized businesses across multiple industries. They serve clients with diverse digital needs — WordPress sites for service businesses, Shopify storefronts for ecommerce brands, and GoHighLevel funnels and CRM builds for agencies and high-velocity sales teams. They needed a dev partner who could execute across every one of those platforms at agency quality without compromising their client relationships.
01 / The Challenge
Where they were
before us.
Klatch faced the classic agency growth bottleneck: their client roster spanned three very different platforms (WordPress, Shopify, GoHighLevel), and no single in-house dev could ship expertly across all of them. Hiring three platform specialists wasn't financially viable at their scale. Outsourcing piecemeal to offshore shops produced inconsistent quality and broken handoffs that damaged client trust. They needed a partner who could be a true extension of their team — show up reliably under their brand, hit deadlines without supervision, and never put them in the position of explaining a contractor's mistake to a client.
02 / Our Approach
What we
actually did.
White-label partnership structure: Nerd Stack operates as Klatch's dedicated development department, never client-facing unless explicitly requested, with all deliverables shipped under Klatch's brand
Multi-platform capability across the three platforms Klatch's clients actually use — WordPress (custom themes, plugin development, ACF-based CMS configurations, Elementor where appropriate), Shopify (theme customization, Liquid development, app integrations, conversion optimization), and GoHighLevel (funnel builds, snapshot configuration, automation workflows, CRM customization)
Standardized intake process built specifically for agency-to-agency work — Klatch sends a brief, we return scope and timeline within 48 hours, Klatch approves, we execute. No project management overhead absorbed by the agency.
Documented build processes per platform so quality stays consistent regardless of which Nerd Stack team member is on a given project — every WordPress build follows the same security baseline, every Shopify theme follows the same performance checklist, every GoHighLevel snapshot follows the same naming and folder conventions
Maintenance and ongoing support partnership: post-launch, we handle ongoing updates, security patches, and small change requests directly — Klatch never has to triage minor dev work themselves
Direct technical communication when needed: when a client conversation requires technical depth Klatch's team doesn't want to bluff, Nerd Stack can join the call as an unbranded 'senior developer' on the team
03 / The Solution
What we
delivered.
An ongoing multi-year white-label partnership where Nerd Stack functions as Klatch's invisible development team. 40+ client builds delivered to date across WordPress, Shopify, and GoHighLevel, 100% on-time delivery rate, 14-day average turnaround on standard scopes. The arrangement lets Klatch focus entirely on what they do best — strategy, branding, and client relationships — without building or managing an internal dev department, and lets us focus on what we do best without the overhead of direct client management.

Nerd Stack is the development team we couldn't have built ourselves. They ship under our brand, hit every deadline, and deliver consistent quality across three completely different platforms. Our clients have no idea Nerd Stack exists — and that's exactly the point.
