How to start a website reselling business

A website reselling business sells small businesses a hosted, maintained website for a monthly fee, under your brand, on a platform someone else runs. The model works because the platform cost is fixed and every extra client is mostly margin; this guide covers the niche, the price, the platform, the numbers and the first ten clients.

TL;DR

1. Choose a niche and one package

Resellers who say "websites for anyone" compete with Wix ads. Pick a group you can reach and understand, for example HVAC and plumbing firms in one region, dental clinics, or independent restaurants, and sell one package: a site, hosting, small monthly edits and a contact form.

2. Set your price

PackageTypical monthly priceWhat is included
Starter$79One-page site, hosting, two small edits a month
Standard$129Multi-page site, booking or quote form, monthly edits
Growth$199Everything plus local SEO basics and a monthly report

A setup fee of $0 to $500 covers onboarding. Monthly pricing is what makes this a business rather than a string of projects.

3. Pick a white-label platform

You need your brand on the portal, billing that pays you, fast builds and a clean exit. Platform cost at your likely size:

Monthly platform cost at list price, checked 19 September 2026: Duda, Brizy, 10Web, GoHighLevel, Simvoly, SiteSwan (plan prices from third-party listings), Wix (third-party figure), Webflow. 10Web figures are its annual rate; 10Web also charges a 7% fee on client billing on Starter and Core. Prices change, so confirm before you buy.

4. Run the numbers

On We.Inc Lite ($99 for 25 sites) with clients on the $129 Standard package:

ClientsMonthly revenuePlatformBefore your time and Stripe fees
5$645$99$546
10$1,290$99$1,191
25$3,225$99$3,126
60$7,740$499 (Launch)$7,241

Stripe's own processing fee applies to each payment; We.Inc takes 0%.

5. Build a demo site before you pitch

Pick a real business in your niche and build their site before you contact them. On We.Inc that is a sentence: "a site for Patel Plumbing in Leicester, 24-hour call-outs, boiler repair and bathroom fitting, quote form". Send the link. A finished site gets replies; a pitch deck does not.

6. Land the first ten clients

  1. People you already know who run a business.
  2. Local businesses with no site or a broken one: check their Google Business Profile.
  3. Ask every happy client for one referral, and offer a month free for it.

7. Launch your platform

How do I get clients for my website business?

Start with people you know, then local businesses with no site or a poor one, and pitch with a finished demo site built for them rather than a proposal.
