Software Developer, looking to partner up for web dev agency business.

I'm a software engineer with about 6 years of experience.
I want to start a web development agency business.
I'm looking to partner up with someone that has access to or can get web design & development contracts. We'll have a signed agreement & take care of legal before proceeding.

I currently work in an agency and i know most companies from startups to big organizations need help with their technology, especially for those who want to keep up with the current & most efficient web technologies. Also, i know some startups would also need help getting an MVP developed, and they can easily outsource this to an agency to get the first version up and running.

I've set up apps that were built for scale, including setting up load balancing and robust backend architecture.

My Technology Stack:
Languages: Javascript(ES5 & ES2019) & PHP, Python.
Databases: MySQL, MongoDB & PostgreSQL.
Frameworks: React JS(& React Redux), Express JS, Axios(React), Joi(Node JS), Angular JS. PHP Laravel, PHP Symfony, PHP PyroCMS, e.t.c.
Open source CMS: Drupal & Wordpress
Servers & OS: Apache Server, Linux OS, Nginx, CentOS
CSS Frameworks: Bootstrap, SASS, Foundation.
TDD Frameworks: Jest, Jasmine, PHPUnit.

      Thanks. It's really vital to have a full understanding of a software application, from the front end to the backend, and down to the micro parts of writing good classes, OOP, design patterns, functions that are fast & efficient, everything matters, and it needs to be done correctly.

      One of the major challenges software apps have, that iv'e seen, from small scale to enterprise is difficult or buggy code. When an engineer writes code that's difficult for to modify or maintain, it can take double the time to fix a bug just because of this.

      Another thing is properly deploying an app for scale. The infrastructure really matters, and that can also affect the latency as well. This will be most obvious when a website starts getting millions of traffic. With a proper backend architecture, including load balancing, caching & others, it'll really help.

      Also, choosing to use a CMS, open source framework or build in house matters too. Google can afford to build everything in house, that's why they built their own database: "Bigtable", because they've a team that regularly documents their code, which makes it easy for new engineers coming on board to modify & extends their apps. A small startup may not really be able to build custom if they don't plan (or have the capacity) to document. It can really affect the startup if the engineer that built the app leaves and there're no documentation, new engineers will spend the better part of their time just understanding the code before they can build on it.

      Also, an open source CMS like Drupal will be useful too, or Laravel. A skilled PHP Laravel engineer can have a fully functioning site in about 1 - 2 weeks or less, including an admin section and a public user front end user section, depending on the app's complexity of course.

      Other frameworks too, like (MongoDB, Express, NodeJS + React) will be really useful, since these are public frameworks and you can easily find their doc online, they'll help you get something out fast.
