Hire a Dedicated Web Development Team
Web dedicated teams own marketing sites, portals, and content platforms. App pods fit when mobile stores are primary distribution.
Siblings Software assembles dedicated web pods with a tech lead, senior engineers, QA inside the sprint, and a delivery lead who joins your ceremonies. Typical ramp is two to three weeks to sprint one. Monthly retainers run USD 12K to 60K depending on team size. If you only need one or two engineers embedded in your squad, see our Web staff augmentation page.

When a dedicated Web team makes sense
Web dedicated teams own marketing sites, portals, and content platforms. App pods fit when mobile stores are primary distribution.
Contrast with staff augmentation when you already run sprint rituals and need extra senior hands. Contrast with project-based outsourcing when scope is fixed and short. The dedicated development team model fits multi-quarter roadmaps with one accountable pod.
The Page Weight Test
We publish the Page Weight Test so buyers can self-diagnose before the discovery call. Three honest answers mean proceed with a dedicated pod. Any no means staff augmentation or a narrower fixed scope first.
Q1. Is LCP above 2.5s on real users?
Measure CrUX before debating frameworks.
Q2. Is third-party tag count documented?
Analytics and ads often dominate weight more than framework choice.
Q3. Does accessibility block release?
WCAG failures are release blockers on regulated sites.
Team composition
Web tech lead, two senior front-end engineers, one CMS/backend engineer, QA with axe and Lighthouse CI, optional CRO engineer.
Lean pod (4 people)
Tech lead plus two seniors and shared QA. USD 12K to 22K per month.
Standard pod (6 to 8 people)
Full leadership stack plus DevOps or SRE as needed. USD 24K to 42K per month.
Program (10 plus people)
Multiple pods with shared platform bench. USD 45K to 60K plus per month.

Governance
Your product owner owns priorities. Our delivery lead runs sprint planning, standups, and stakeholder updates. The tech lead owns architecture decisions, code review SLA, and production readiness sign-off. We document decisions in short ADRs in your repository.
Escalation path: engineer to tech lead to delivery lead to your engineering director within one business day. IP is work-for-hire under US-style agreements. Source code lives in your org. We join your Slack, Jira or Linear, and on-call rotation when scoped.
Quality standards
Definition of Done includes peer review, automated tests, updated contracts or docs, observability hooks, and staging deploy. QA automation runs inside the sprint, not after it. We track escaped defects and sprint goal attainment on a shared dashboard.
For web engagements we align with OWASP baselines where applicable, enforce dependency scanning in CI, and refuse to close stories that fail agreed quality gates.

Example engagement
Northgate Publishing. Regional news group on WordPress multisite with ad stack bloat. Six-person web pod rebuilt front end with Astro islands and tag governance. LCP 5.1s to 1.7s, ad revenue per session +9% from faster viewability. USD 29K/month.
What we would do differently: Tag inventory workshop before framework selection. Ads were 62% of main-thread time.
