Outsourced
Development
Need expert developers, project managers, content writers or designers without the overhead? We plug into your team and keep your project moving — no fuss, no hand-holding.
A flexible, experienced team — when and where you need us
Not every organisation needs a full in-house development team. Sometimes you just need smart, reliable developers (or other skill) to slot into your project, deliver high-quality work, and disappear without fuss. That’s where we come in.
At Blue Lobster, we provide outsourced development services to agencies, organisations, and in-house teams who need extra capacity or specialist skills.
We’re experienced, low-maintenance, and easy to work with - the kind of people you can hand a specification to and trust to get on with it.
Why outsource to Blue Lobster?
We speak your language
We’ve worked with design agencies, companies, NGOs, government bodies, research teams and startups. Whether you need someone to wrangle a complex front-end, build out a backend API, or support a larger technical build, we fit in quickly and deliver clean, reliable code.
No ego, no drama
We’re here to help your project succeed - not to take the spotlight. You can present us to your clients as part of your team, or keep us in the background. Either way, we work with care and professionalism.
Fast onboarding, full transparency
We get up to speed quickly. You’ll get access to our repos, dev tools and communications, and we’ll provide regular updates on progress. No black boxes, no radio silence.
UK-based, time-zone friendly
We’re based in the UK and work standard UK hours - ideal for organisations looking for clear communication and reliable collaboration across Europe and beyond.
