Why US agencies hire Spriggabyte for Drupal development
A senior development partner, not a vendor to manage.
Senior Drupal developer, direct access
You work directly with the developer writing the code and making architecture decisions. No juniors, no project manager relay, no quality gap between who you talk to and who does the work.
East Coast timezone overlap
Cape Town (UTC+2) provides morning overlap with US East Coast. Available from early morning EST for standup calls, Slack communication, and real-time code reviews. Not overnight handoffs.
Rates that protect your agency margins
Senior US Drupal developers bill $150-200/hour. Spriggabyte delivers equivalent senior-level quality at rates that let you maintain healthy margins on every project you resell to clients.
White-label Drupal development
I work entirely under your agency brand. Your Git conventions, your project management tools, your Slack workspace, your standup cadence. Your clients see your agency — seamlessly.
Full-stack Drupal capability
Backend architecture, frontend Twig theming, DevOps, deployment pipelines, and ongoing maintenance. One senior developer covering the entire Drupal stack — no coordination overhead.
Frequently asked questions about hiring a Drupal developer
Straight answers for agency owners and CTOs.
How much does it cost to hire a Drupal developer in the US?
+Senior Drupal developers in the US typically bill between $150 and $200 per hour. Agency-side, fully loaded costs for an in-house senior Drupal developer exceed $105,000/year. Spriggabyte offers equivalent senior-level expertise at competitive rates by operating from Cape Town (UTC+2), with real-time East Coast collaboration. You get US-standard quality at rates that protect your agency margins.
Is Drupal a good CMS for government websites?
+Yes. Drupal powers approximately 34% of government CMS sites worldwide and is widely used by US federal, state, and local government agencies. Drupal is preferred for government because of its enterprise-grade security model, WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 accessibility compliance, granular role-based access control, robust content workflows, and compatibility with FedRAMP-authorised hosting environments. Many of the largest government web platforms run on Drupal.
What happens now that Drupal 7 has reached end of life?
+Drupal 7 reached end of life in January 2025 and the community no longer provides security patches. Sites still running D7 are accumulating security vulnerabilities. The recommended path is migration to Drupal 10 or Drupal 11. Spriggabyte provides complete D7 migration services — content mapping, custom migration plugins for complex data structures, module audit and replacement, Twig theme rebuild, and zero-downtime production cutover.
Can Spriggabyte work white-label for my US agency?
+Yes. White-label Drupal development is a core part of how Spriggabyte partners with US agencies. I operate under your brand — your Git repositories, your CI/CD pipelines, your project management tools, your communication channels. Your clients interact with your agency brand throughout. I deliver the development, you own the relationship.
What enterprise Drupal services does Spriggabyte provide?
+Enterprise Drupal 10/11 builds with multi-site architectures, Layout Builder implementations, custom module development with Drupal plugin architecture, Drupal 7 end-of-life migrations, API integrations (FileMaker Data API, CRM systems, payment gateways), Laravel web applications, DevOps with Docker and AWS, and ongoing monthly retainer partnerships for feature development and maintenance.
What timezone does Spriggabyte work in?
+Cape Town, South Africa — UTC+2. This provides morning overlap with the US East Coast (EST/EDT), meaning I'm available from early morning EST onward for standup calls, Slack conversations, and real-time code reviews. Unlike traditional offshore development with 12-hour time differences, this model enables same-day collaboration during your business hours.
