White-Label Website Builders: The Complete Guide for Agencies and Resellers
What is a white-label website builder and how do agencies price it?
Short answer: A white-label website builder is a platform an agency licenses and rebrands as its own product, so clients only ever see the agency's name, logo, and domain. Agencies typically pay $20 to $40 a month per client and charge clients $80 to $250 a month, giving gross margins of 60% to 85%. Most agencies price tiers between $99 and $349 a month depending on features and support.
Key facts
With 25 clients at $100 a month each, an agency generates $2,500 a month in recurring revenue.
A sample pricing table lists Starter at $79 to $99/mo, Growth at $149 to $199/mo, Pro at $249 to $349/mo, and Enterprise at $500+/mo.
Migrating an existing client site to a white-label platform is budgeted at one to three days per client.
We.Inc's white-label platform has no per-site charge, can be launched free with no card at my.we.inc/setup, and charges 0% transaction fee on every plan.
We.Inc white-label plans start at $99 a month for 25 client sites with a 7-day free trial.

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%
With 25 clients at $100/month each, you are generating $2,500/month in recurring revenue that largely runs on autopilot. The same number of project clients would require constant new business development.
Key Features to Look for in a White-Label Website Builder
Not all platforms offering white-label options are created equally. Here is what to evaluate:
Custom Branding Control
Look for:
Your logo on the client dashboard and editor
Your custom domain for the client portal (e.g., app.youragency.com)
Branded email notifications to clients
No mention of the underlying platform in any client-facing interface
Custom login page with your branding
This is the baseline. If a platform cannot deliver full brand removal, it is not truly white-label.
Client Dashboard and Management
You will be managing multiple clients from one account. The platform needs to support that efficiently:
Multi-client management from a single agency dashboard
Ability to log in as any client for support or edits
Client permission controls, what clients can and cannot edit
Activity logs to see what changes clients have made
Without a proper agency dashboard, managing 20+ clients becomes chaos.
Reseller Billing
Look for platforms that support:
Setting per-client pricing inside the platform
Automatic billing of your clients via the platform
Pass-through billing or invoice generation
Multiple subscription tiers so you can offer clients different packages
Some platforms only handle billing between you and the platform, you invoice your clients separately. That is manageable but adds admin overhead. A platform with built-in reseller billing reduces it significantly.
Website Builder Quality
Your clients will be judging your product on the quality of the editor, templates, and published sites. Evaluate:
Is the editor genuinely easy for non-technical clients to use?
Are the templates professional and mobile-responsive?
How fast do published sites load?
Is the SEO tooling solid? (Meta tags, sitemaps, structured data)
A poor editor will generate constant support requests. A strong editor makes clients self-sufficient.
Integrated Marketing Tools
The best white-label platforms go beyond a static website. If your platform also includes:
Ecommerce so clients can sell products or services
...then you have a much stronger value proposition to sell. You are not offering a website, you are offering an ongoing service. That justifies higher prices and makes clients stickier (harder to leave when everything is in one place).
Support Structure
When a client has an issue, who handles it? Look for:
Agency-level support, you get priority support as the reseller
Documentation and training materials you can share with clients
Clear SLAs for uptime and issue resolution
Some platforms expect agencies to white-label the support entirely (you handle all client tickets). Others offer a support structure you can leverage. Know which model you are signing up for.
How to Price White-Label Website Services
Pricing is where most agencies undervalue their offer. A white-label website is not just "hosting a website." It is:
A professionally managed website on enterprise-grade infrastructure
Ongoing security updates and backups handled for the client
Access to a website editor with zero learning curve
A team (you) available for edits, updates, and strategy
Pricing tiers that work for most agencies:
Tier
What's Included
Monthly Price
Starter
Hosted website, basic templates, email support
$79 to $99/mo
Growth
Starter + CRM, lead capture, email tools
$149 to $199/mo
Pro
Growth + social scheduling, advanced analytics, priority support
$249 to $349/mo
Enterprise
Custom pricing for large businesses or multi-location brands
$500+/mo
These prices assume you are providing some level of ongoing service: updates, strategy, monthly check-ins. If you are simply licensing the platform with no-touch service, prices would be lower.
Anchor your pitch in business outcomes, not features. "We manage your entire digital marketing stack for $199/month" closes differently than "You get a website and a CRM."
The Migration Question: Moving Existing Clients
If you are already managing client websites on WordPress, Wix, or static sites, transitioning to a white-label platform requires planning.
Migration process:
Audit existing client sites: content, pages, integrations, and any custom functionality
Identify migration complexity, simple sites migrate in a day; complex ones with custom plugins or large content libraries take longer
Rebuild on the new platform, most agencies do this in parallel before switching DNS
Set up 301 redirects, critical for preserving SEO rankings on any site with established traffic
Train clients on the new editor, most clients appreciate the simplicity; some need hand-holding
Budget one to three days per client for migration, depending on site complexity. Start with your simplest clients to build confidence in the process.
Building a Productized Service Around White-Label
The most profitable agencies do not sell custom website projects. They sell a productized service: a defined deliverable at a fixed price, delivered repeatedly.
White-label platforms make this possible because the delivery process is consistent.
Example productized offer:
"We design, build, and launch your professional website in 10 business days for a $997 setup fee, then manage it ongoing for $149/month. Includes hosting, security, monthly updates, and CRM for lead tracking."
This is repeatable, scalable, and easy to sell. The client knows exactly what they get. You know exactly what you are delivering. The platform handles the infrastructure. You handle the strategy and relationship.
We.Inc's White-Label Offering
We.Inc's white-label platform is built for agencies, resellers and software companies that want to sell websites under their own brand.
Partners run the AI website builder on their own web address, with their own name, logo and colours on the login, dashboard and builder screens. Emails to their clients carry the partner's brand, and clients are billed through the partner's own Stripe account. Clients describe their business, the AI builds the site, and it can then be edited visually or in code before it publishes to a custom domain with SSL. A REST API with webhooks covers automation for teams that want it.
There is no per-site charge. You can launch it yourself in under 5 minutes, free to start with no card, at my.we.inc/setup. Plans are for when you want your own domain, more clients or client billing, with 0% transaction fee on every plan.
Red Flags to Avoid
Not every platform that claims "white-label" delivers it properly. Watch for:
Platform name appearing in the URL, if the client's dashboard is on the platform's domain, it is not truly white-label
No custom email domain support: clients should receive emails from your domain, not the platform's
Per-seat pricing with no volume discounts, makes the economics difficult at scale
No client permission controls: if clients can access and break anything in the account, you will spend all your time on support
Poor template quality, templates that look dated or unprofessional reflect on your agency
Key Takeaways
White-label website builders let agencies sell website and marketing services under their own brand, with the underlying platform handling infrastructure.
The recurring revenue model (monthly retainers vs. one-time projects) is the primary business case for going white-label.
Essential features to evaluate: custom branding, multi-client dashboard, reseller billing, editor quality, integrated marketing tools, and support structure.
Price based on business outcomes, not features, most agencies can justify $99 to $349/month per client depending on service tier.
Productizing your service delivery (fixed deliverable, fixed price, fixed timeline) makes the model scalable.
Migrating existing clients takes one to three days per site, start with simple sites and work up to complex ones.
A white-label website builder is a platform that agencies or resellers can brand as their own product. Your clients see your company name, logo, and domain, not the underlying platform's brand. You control the pricing, the client relationships, and the support experience. The platform handles the infrastructure.
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.
