F4Agency: The Technical Partner Your Agency Has Been Waiting For

Questo contenuto è disponibile in Italiano

Turn your web agency from “let’s hope freelancing doesn’t go away” to “we have a team of 17 developers available”

Are you Tired of Chasing Freelancers Who Disappear at the Crucial Moment?

If you run a web agency with a turnover of at least 1 million euros, you probably know this story well: you have closed a major project, the client is thrilled, and then … the freelancer on duty disappears. Or he decides to change his life. Or he simply stops responding to messages just when you need him.

90% of freelancers fail during their professional careers, and 10 percent do not even make it past the first year. Yet many agencies continue to base their technical operations on this structural instability, losing projects, clients, and opportunities for growth.

F4Agency was created to solve this problem for good. We are not yet another technical service provider-we are the strategic partner that transforms your agency from “we hope everything goes well” to “we’ve got it under control.”

Who Is Your Ideal Agency for F4Agency?

First of all, let’s clarify: F4Agency is not for everyone. It is a premium service designed for agencies that have reached a certain maturity and want to take the ultimate leap forward.

The WeWeb Agency Profile

Your agency is perfect for F4Agency if:

You have an annual turnover of at least 1 million. With lower turnovers, the number of web projects you do in a year is too few to justify a structured partnership. We look for ongoing, stable relationships, not sporadic collaborations.

You can develop a minimum annual turnover of 25,000 with F.technology. This is not a random number: it represents the balance point for a partnership that makes sense for both parties. When fully implemented, within 12 months, total direct and indirect revenues must reach this figure.

Your in-house technical team consists of a maximum of 2-3 elements. This is the perfect sweet spot. The complete lack of an in-house technical team is a problem (who coordinates projects?), but so is the presence of a structured, full-bodied team that needs to be 100% employed at all times. The ideal is an agency with an in-house developer and a technical support figure, ready to be joined by a more organized and comprehensive structure such as F.technology.

You don’t want to do business on hosting, but you want to provide security and service to your customers. F.technology has been investing in technology and hosting for nearly 30 years, with experience you are unlikely to find in an agency with a young or small technical team. Sharing the hosting business optimizes costs and increases service quality. Trying to “squeeze” every euro out of IT services you’re not really knowledgeable about only generates unnecessary competition.

Are you willing to share technology choices with F.technology. Our technical expertise and continuous research and development enable us to advance the quality of projects completed. We are willing to share this expertise with your internal team. If you place constraints on using development tools and techniques that we do not share, the work becomes complex and ineffective.

You have one or more project managers who can coordinate developers. For smaller projects (low-code under 5K), we provide our in-house freelancers, but they must be coordinated by your PM to keep costs down. For larger projects, our PM will work alongside yours.

Understand the logic of win-win partnerships. A relationship only works if both parties are aware that there must be mutual gain and benefit. Toxic or unbalanced relationships do not last.

You are tired of the instability of freelancers. If you’ve had to chase after the freelancer who disappears at the drop of a hat or decides to change their life, you know exactly what we’re talking about.

You had to give up relevant technical projects due to limitations of your team. E-commerce projects, integrations with enterprise systems, intranets or structured apps: if in the past they scared you because of the risk involved, now with F.technology you can make them happen.

F4Agency’s Value Proposition: Why We Are Different

1. Technical and Methodological Reliability Without Compromise

The organization of F.technology is totally focused on the delivery of high-quality technical services and the development of software and sites using the best available technologies and techniques. This focus, which no one agency can offer because of the diverse nature of its business, ensures a level of project satisfaction that you are unlikely to find elsewhere.

While your agency has to manage clients, creative, marketing, communication and a thousand other activities, we focus exclusively on the technical part. This means that every euro invested in research and development, every hour of team training, every optimized process is aimed at making your projects technically perfect.

2. Extended Expertise for Complex Projects.

F.technology’s team of developers and technicians consists of. 17 people, 16 of whom are technical. This number is higher than most Italian agencies, even very structured ones that internally do not have as many specialized developers.

But it is not just a matter of numbers. Our specific focus only on some technologies select allows us to achieve excellence and tackle the most complex and structured projects. We are not generalists who can do a little bit of everything-we are specialists who excel at what we do.

3. Lower Costs to an Internal Technical Team.

At an average of €40 for low-code technicians and €50 for in-house developers, we are certainly more expensive than direct freelancers, but much cheaper than keeping a full-time technician as an employee. The advantage? You only pay for what you actually sell.

Consider the hidden costs of an employee: salary, contributions, vacation, sick leave, training, work tools, office space. A senior developer easily costs 60-80K euros per year, even when he has no projects to follow. With F4Agency, you pay only when there is work to be done.

Comparison with a “standard” freelancer is inappropriate: you are comparing an isolated professional with an entire organized structure, with processes, backups, guarantees, and ongoing support.

4. Continuous R&D to Stay on the Cutting Edge.

We still see WordPress developers today using 10-year-old techniques and outdated tools. For an internal agency team, and often for a freelancer, there is not the budget in research and development that we decided to invest in F.technology: 15 percent of the turnover.

This investment makes a difference in every aspect of our work: we always use the latest technology, follow the latest best practices, and implement the most advanced security systems. Your end customer receives a product that is not only functional today, but will remain competitive for years to come.

5. Direct Freelance Management for Simple Projects.

For simpler projects, you can save time and costs by relating directly to one of our in-house freelancers. Get the benefits of the F.technology structure (selection, training, methodology, backup) with the costs of a traditional freelancer.

Our freelancers are carefully selected and trained by the in-house team, ensure high quality standards, and are fully integrated with our in-house services and technicians. If a freelancer is unavailable, it is easy to find a replacement internally who can continue the work without interruption.

6. Shared Management for Complex Projects.

On complex projects, one of our analyst/accounts follows the project by working alongside your account from the beginning of the negotiation, bringing value and professionalism throughout the development process. This approach requires risk sharing, but also transparency with the client who is aware that they are talking to two connected but different entities.

We are not a supplier hiding behind the scenes-we are a partner who puts our face on important projects, sharing responsibility and results.

7. Constant Cost Monitoring and Total Transparency.

Our project and job management platform allows your PMs and Accounts to have a constantly updated view of the status of projects: who is doing what, how much has been spent, how, and how many hours/SPs are available in the budget.

No surprises, no hidden costs, no “oops, we went over budget.” Everything is tracked, monitored and shared in real time.

F4Agency Services: The Complete Range for Your Growth

F.technology offers your agency the full range of group services with specific and reserved conditions. We are not talking about a limited service: you have access to everything we offer our direct clients, but with exclusive benefits.

Hosting: Enterprise Quality at Cost Price

You can purchase hosting services from F.technology at the same price at which we buy them from our supplier, on the same payment terms. We do not make a profit on hosting: our business is development, not reselling commodity services.

On hosting services purchased through us, you receive technical support and expert advice, charged on the service hour package. This means that when your client has a technical problem, you don’t have to improvise as a systems engineer-we’ll take care of it.

Technical Assistance and Custom Development Packages

The purchase of SP and technical support packages follows the same conditions applied to our direct customers, but with additional benefits reserved for F4Agency partners.

Assistance Package at 50€/hour Basic package is 25 hours with auto-recharge mode: when 5 hours or less remain, a new package is automatically billed. Option to convert 8 hours to 1 SP for more structured projects. Service hours are on a consensus basis, pre-paid, with no guarantee or fixed estimate, but with cost estimation and control. Support always has priority over custom development.

Custom Development Package at €400/SP When you decide to develop a specific project or feature, use the SP package that includes: free preliminary quotation, 90-day warranty included, schedule agreed upon with the development team’s calendar.

Annual Rebate System: The More You Borrow, the More You Save

If you reach certain revenue targets during the calendar year (direct or indirect, excluding hosting), you receive rebate bonuses that you can bill us with payment on sight invoice:

5% upon reaching 10,000€ of combined invoices = 500€ bonus
10% upon reaching €25,000 of combined invoices = 2,000€ extra
15% upon reaching €50,000 of combined invoices = 5,000€ extra
20% upon reaching 100,000€ of combined invoices = 12,500€ extra

Lead Commission: Make Money Even on Referrals

On leads generated by your referrals, we pay 10% of the overall revenue generated by the client for 12 months and 5% for the next 12 months. If you know of companies that may need our services, the referral becomes an additional source of revenue.

Two Modes of Operation for Every Need

Hire a T&M Developer (Projects under 5K)

For Time & Material projects less than 5K in total value, you can use one of our developers directly. All quality assurance and management charges remain the responsibility of your agency and PM.

Advantages over direct freelancing:

Guaranteed quality: The freelancers on our team are carefully selected and trained by the in-house team, ensure high quality standards, and are integrable with our in-house services and technicians.

Shared methodology: The working methodology is unique and shared between internal staff and freelancers, ensuring interoperability and consistent quality.

Continuity assured: If a freelancer is unavailable, it is easier to find a replacement internally who can continue the work without interruption.

Post go-live support: Projects implemented by F.technology can be contracted for Application Maintenance and enjoy ongoing service support.

Shared Projects (Over 5K)

For projects of higher complexity to be developed in teams, we require exposure directly with the end client. We are not a hidden supplier-we are a partner who puts our face on important projects.

Billing can be handled by the agency or divided between F.technology (technical part) and agency (specific expertise). In the second case, the agency is paid a 10% margin on turnover, but the contract amount contributes to the annual rebates.

The estimate is developed by our team and discussed with the end client, as well as all Change Requests and Feature Requests that may be added during the project are handled. A three-party contract is signed with joint signatures.

For these projects, F.technology requires client approval to mention the brand on its site and, where appropriate and authorized, develop a technical case study to share with the agency.

Margins and Recharges: The Mathematics of Partnership.

F.technology’s public price lists are visible on our website, but the agency can apply mark-ups it deems convenient to its clients when billing directly. We do not recommend mark-ups above our price lists and above 10% of rates.

On projects of less than 10SP, our final rate is already 500€ and the hourly rate is between 80€ and 60€, ensuring sufficient margin for resale without penalizing competitiveness.

The Moment of Truth: Are You Ready for F4Agency?

After reading all this, you are probably asking yourself a question, “Is this really for my agency?”

The answer is simple: F4Agency is for agencies that are serious about growing. If you’re looking for the cheapest vendor on the market, that’s not us. If you want to keep running everything in-house without sharing technology decisions, that’s not us. If you think a 20€/hour freelancer can give you the same results as a structured team, it’s not us.

But if you’re tired of losing projects due to technical limitations, if you want to sleep soundly knowing that your projects are in expert hands, if you want to transform your agency from “let’s hope for the best” to “we’ve got it covered,” then F4Agency is exactly what you’ve been looking for.

We are not looking for customers. We are looking for partners.

The difference is substantial: a customer buys a service, a partner builds a future together. With F4Agency, you’re not just buying hours of development or software functionality. You’re investing in a strategic partnership that will transform the way your agency approaches technical projects.

The Next Steps: How to Begin the Partnership

If you recognize your agency in this profile and are ready to take the leap, the first step is simple: let’s talk about it.

We don’t start with contracts or binding commitments. We start with an honest conversation about your goals, your current challenges, and how F4Agency can help you solve them.

During this first meeting, we will analyze together:

Your current project portfolio and missed opportunities
Technical limitations holding back your growth
How to structure the partnership to maximize mutual benefits
A realistic growth plan to meet revenue targets

Remember: F4Agency is not a cost, it is an investment. An investment in the growth of your agency, the quality of your projects, the satisfaction of your clients and your peace of mind.

The web agency market is increasingly competitive. The agencies that will survive and thrive will be those that can offer their clients not only creativity and strategy, but also technical excellence and absolute reliability.

With F4Agency, that agency can be you.
