How much profit margin can agencies make reselling website builder services?

Most agencies price white-label website services at $50 to $300 per month per client, depending on the included features and support level. With underlying platform costs of $15 to $40 per client on a reseller plan, gross margins typically range from 60% to 85%. Agencies managing 20 or more client sites often build a meaningful recurring revenue stream that runs with minimal ongoing work.

Do my clients need to know which platform I am using?

No. With proper white-labeling, clients only see your brand — your logo on the dashboard, your company name in billing emails, your custom domain on the client portal. Many agencies prefer to keep the underlying platform confidential to maintain their positioning as a technology provider rather than a reseller.

What is the difference between white-label and reseller website builders?

These terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a distinction. A reseller program lets you sell another company's product at a markup, sometimes with limited branding control. White-label goes further — you can fully rebrand the interface so it looks like your own product. Look for platforms that offer both: the economic model of a reseller program and the branding control of white-labeling.

Can I add my own markup to white-label platform pricing?

Yes — that is the entire point. Your reseller agreement with the platform defines what you pay per client or per seat. You charge your clients whatever rate you choose. The platform invoices you; you invoice your clients. You keep the difference. Some platforms also support pass-through billing where you set client prices inside the platform's interface, which simplifies invoicing.

White-Label Website Builders: The Complete Guide for Agencies and Resellers

Everything agencies and freelancers need to know about white-label website builders — what they are, how to choose one, how to price for resale, and which features actually matter for running a multi-client operation.

Running a web design or marketing agency means building something new for every client — but maintaining it for years. That tension between project work and ongoing service delivery is where white-label website builders create enormous leverage.

Instead of building custom sites on WordPress and maintaining them forever, or delivering Wix sites your clients can break on their own, a white-label platform lets you deliver professional websites under your own brand, manage them from one dashboard, and bill for ongoing retainers — all without maintaining your own infrastructure.

This guide covers everything you need to know to evaluate, choose, and profit from a white-label website builder.

What Is a White-Label Website Builder?

A white-label website builder is a platform you license from a technology company and sell to your clients as if it were your own product.

Your client logs into a dashboard with **your company logo and name**. They receive billing emails from **your brand**. The platform's name appears nowhere in their experience.

Behind the scenes, you are using the underlying platform's infrastructure — hosting, the website editor, templates, and tools — but presenting it as your own service. You set the price, manage the client relationships, and control the support experience.

This is distinct from simply recommending Wix or Squarespace to a client. In that model, your client has a direct relationship with the platform and could easily cut you out. In a white-label model, your client's relationship is entirely with you.

Why Agencies Are Moving to White-Label Platforms

The traditional agency model has a problem: it trades time for money. Build a site for $5,000, hand it over, move on. If you want to grow, you need more projects, more staff, or both.

White-label platforms enable a different model: **recurring revenue**.

Instead of a one-time project fee, you charge clients a monthly fee to host, maintain, and manage their website on your platform. You deliver the site, they pay monthly, and the site runs on infrastructure someone else maintains.

**The economics work out favorably:**

- Your platform cost per client: $20 to $40/month - What you charge clients: $80 to $250/month - Gross margin: 60% to 85%
