Grow your own website business

Your business. Your relationships. Your choice of how much technical work you do yourself.

You might be good at finding opportunities, understanding local businesses and earning people's trust, but have no desire to become a developer or operate hosting systems. Or you might already run a website business and occasionally need technical skills or capacity beyond your own team.

Provelopment gives you room to build the business that suits you. We can handle the agreed technical work while you concentrate on customers, support part of your operation, or stay out of the picture entirely if you prefer to use Provelopment Foundation independently.

There is no compulsory route from “agent” to “reseller”. You choose how much you do yourself and where our services would make your business stronger.

Choose how much you want to handle

Think of the possibilities as a continuum, not two fixed programmes.

Concentrate on relationships. You develop your local market, find customers, understand their needs, coordinate information and stay in touch. Under an agent arrangement, Provelopment contracts directly with the customers it accepts and takes responsibility for the technical services it agrees to deliver. You can build your business without operating the underlying technology.

Combine your capabilities with ours. Perhaps you provide marketing, content, design or some technical work. You can commission us for the specific work you prefer not to undertake, whether that is an occasional project or a regular part of your delivery. The mix can change as your skills, resources and customer needs develop.

Operate independently. You can run your own technical infrastructure, select other suppliers or use Foundation without commissioning Provelopment at all. You decide which services belong in your business and how you deliver them.

Taking on more technical work gives you more control over its delivery, but also brings additional time, investment, operating expense and financial exposure. Using Provelopment for more of that work can reduce those demands, leaving you free to concentrate on finding and serving customers. Neither end of the continuum is inherently better.

Be clear about who looks after the customer

How much technical work we perform is one decision. Who is responsible to the customer is another. The agreement for each engagement makes that clear.

With an agent arrangement, customers contract directly with Provelopment for the services we accept. You maintain the relationship and help coordinate their needs; we remain responsible for our customer commitments. If you decide to stop acting as an agent, those commitments continue. Your remuneration is governed by our separate agreement with you.

With an independent reseller business, customers contract with you. You choose what you promise and remain responsible for delivering those commitments. If you commission Provelopment, our responsibility is to your business for the specific services we agree to supply—not for unrelated work or promises.

Your business can change how it operates, and customers are free to choose whom they work with. Any transfer of an existing customer agreement requires the appropriate customer consent and a clear handover. We do not seek to take over an independent reseller's customer relationships simply because they use our technical services.

Build relationships that create lasting value

AI is making powerful technical tools more widely available. That makes the people who understand a business, give sound advice and take responsibility for results even more important.

Your value is not simply finding someone who wants a website. It is getting to know the business, recognizing what would genuinely help and staying involved as its needs evolve. A customer may need a new online presence today and a quite different improvement in six months. Helpful advice and continued attention give them a reason to return.

This is the business we want to help you build: one where your knowledge and relationships matter, supported by the technical services you choose. Our purpose is to increase your capacity, not control your business.

Commission only the support that makes sense

You can introduce a customer to a complete one-page website, help them plan a larger website, or commission selected technical work as your own business needs. Our website offering shows customers the straightforward starting point: one complete website first, with optional pages, languages, locations and other additions when useful.

As an agent, you can help customers understand what they need and introduce them to Provelopment. As an independent reseller, you decide which responsibilities to take on and what work, if any, to commission from us. You do not have to use every Provelopment service, and the agreement specifies the work each party undertakes.

Work within an established managed environment can avoid unnecessary extra setup. Customer-controlled repositories, hosting or other external systems may involve additional agreed work, which we explain in the quotation. We can support your business as much or as little as makes sense.

Decide how your business earns its income

If you operate as an agent, Provelopment contracts directly with the customers it accepts and your commission or other remuneration is agreed under the agency arrangement.

If you operate as an independent reseller, you set your own customer prices and decide how to charge for your advice, marketing, creative work and customer service. You can combine suppliers, pass on savings or develop your own offer. We charge you for the Provelopment services you choose to commission; your margin is your business.

Independent resellers earn wholesale discounts on eligible Provelopment services through qualifying business performance. Discounts are based on the value of genuine, completed and paid third-party customer work, not the number of transactions or simply registering as a reseller. The applicable wholesale schedule sets out the thresholds, discount rates, assessment period and qualifying services. Work purchased only for your own website does not qualify.

There are no promises of guaranteed earnings, customers or exclusive territories. We want to help you build a sustainable business on its own merits.

Start with the business you want to build

Use your own business name and domain, or discuss an available Provelopment agent address under an agreed agent arrangement. If you need a website for your own business, Provelopment offers a specially priced standard setup using an established, efficient configuration. Its price and inclusions are specified separately from hosting and any additional work, so you know what you're buying. You can also build it yourself with Foundation.

Tell us where you operate, who you want to serve and which responsibilities you would prefer to handle. We can discuss where our services fit and what arrangement would work for both businesses.

Bring your knowledge of your customers. Choose the technical support that helps you succeed.
