White-Label Web Development for Agencies

WordPress and Shopify sites built from your design, tested and launched by me, under your agency’s name. The client owns the domain, the hosting, the store and the code; you set the price and keep the client.

01 · How it works

Website builds, delivered under your agency’s name

Your client buys a website from your agency. I build it from your design, or from my white-label web design, on the client’s WordPress or Shopify site. Everything reaches you unbranded or in your template, and your client never hears my name unless you want them to.

The site is the client’s from the first day: their domain, their hosting, their store. You set the price and keep the client.

02 · What I deliver

The development work you can resell

WordPress builds

Themes and blocks built so your client can edit their own pages, with only the plugins the site needs.

Shopify builds

Theme work, product and collection templates and app set-up, in a store the client owns.

A staging site first

Built and reviewed away from the live site, then launched when you approve.

Tracking that works

Forms, analytics and conversion tracking connected and tested before launch.

Speed checked

Pages checked against Google’s Core Web Vitals thresholds before launch: LCP within 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 milliseconds, CLS under 0.1.

Handover

Notes on how the site is built and how to edit it, in your template.

03 · Ownership and access

The site stays your client’s

Ownership is settled before the build starts, and the answer is the same for every partner: the client, or your agency if that is what your contract with the client says. Never me.

Shopify stores

Either I build a client transfer store and transfer ownership to the client when it is ready to go live, or I work in the client’s own store as a collaborator, where the owner controls which areas I can access.

WordPress sites

The client holds the Administrator account. I work with my own named account, never a shared login, and after launch it is removed or reduced to Editor.

Domain and hosting

In the client’s name or your agency’s, never mine.

Licences

Premium themes, plugins and apps bought in the client’s or your agency’s name, so updates and support stay with the site.

The code

Theme and custom code handed over in full when the work is paid for.

A mutual NDA first

I sign one before you share client names, details or logins.

04 · Process

Six weeks from design to launch

Week 1

Access and staging

The design, the content, and access to hosting or the store with my own account. A staging site is set up.

Weeks 2 to 4

Build

Templates, pages and functionality built on staging, with a review link for you at the end of each week.

Week 5

Testing

Browsers and devices, forms and tracking, speed, then a round of changes from you and your client.

Week 6

Launch and handover

Launch when you approve, handover notes in your template, and my access reduced or removed.

05 · Wholesale pricing

Three ways to resell web development

I do not sell web development directly, so the price starts from the market rate. Clutch’s web development rates put companies in the United States at $100 to $149 an hour; its overall band, $25 to $49, includes lower-cost regions. At the $124.50 midpoint of the US band and 19 hours a month, that is $2,365.50, rounded to $2,350 a month, the same method as my other prices. Fixed engagements are that figure pro rata, and wholesale is half, rounded to the nearest $50.

FAQ

Website building that a specialist does and an agency sells under its own brand. Your agency sells the site and sets the price; I build it behind you on the client's WordPress or Shopify site, and your client deals only with your agency.
My wholesale prices are $550 for a 2-week landing page build, $1,650 for a 6-week website build and $1,200 a month for ongoing development and care. Each is half a market rate taken from Clutch's web development rates for the United States, rounded to the nearest $50.
WordPress and Shopify. Work on other platforms is quoted per project by the same rule.
Your client, or your agency, as your contract with them says. The domain, hosting, store and licences are in their name, and the code and theme are handed over when the work is paid for.
My own named account, never a shared login. On WordPress, Administrator while I build, removed or reduced to Editor after launch. On Shopify, collaborator access to the areas the work needs, which the store owner chooses.
For 30 days after launch, I fix defects in my own work at no extra cost. Problems caused by later changes, third-party plugins or apps, or hosting are quoted separately, or covered by the monthly care option.
No. Staging links, handover notes and summaries are unbranded or in your template, and I do not contact your client unless you ask me to join a call as part of your team.

Sell website builds without hiring developers.

Partner enquiries are open. Tell me about the client, the platform and what you have sold them, and I will tell you which option fits.
