Partnerships
Build a business around your strengths
You do not need to become a developer, recruit a technical team or master every part of website delivery before you can begin building a business around professional websites. You may already have the most valuable starting point: an understanding of your market, the confidence to talk with customers and the willingness to help them achieve something useful.
Provelopment offers two practical ways to put those strengths to work. Local agents introduce customers to website services that Provelopment contracts for and delivers. White-label partners operate their own website businesses, under their own names, and commission technical work when they choose.
Neither is a compulsory stage on the way to the other. You can begin with the relationship that fits your experience and ambitions, stay with it while it suits you, or change direction as your business develops. We would rather help you build something sustainable than make you dependent on a particular arrangement.
Both models are independent business relationships. Their value comes from the services and support we agree to provide, not from a requirement to stay with Provelopment.
Two ways to build your business
Your local relationships. Our website delivery.
Local agents
Build an independent local business around finding opportunities, understanding what customers need and introducing them to Provelopment. You develop the local connections; we consider the work, contract with customers for the services we accept and handle the website delivery and ongoing service.
It is a way to begin without setting up a development operation. You can keep building as an agent or, if your plans change, explore creating a white-label business of your own.
Your brand. Your customer relationships.
White-label partners
Build a website business that customers know by your name. You establish the brand, set your offer and pricing, and manage your customer relationships. Provelopment can provide the technical work you commission, while you remain free to use your own team or another supplier.
It is a model for someone who wants to shape an independent business, develop long-term customer relationships and choose how the work behind those services gets done.
The difference that matters
The most useful distinction is the role your business takes with the customer—not a complicated set of programme levels.
| Question | Local agent | White-label partner |
|---|---|---|
| Whose business is presented? | You promote your independent local agency and introduce Provelopment services. | You offer services under your own business name and brand. |
| Who contracts with the customer? | Provelopment contracts for the website services it accepts. | Your business contracts with its customers. |
| Who decides on technical delivery? | Provelopment delivers the services it agrees to provide. | You choose Provelopment, your own team or another provider. |
| What can the business become? | Stay an agent, step away, or grow into white-label with support. | Grow your offer, change providers or operate entirely independently. |
Independent businesses, with support by choice
As a local agent, you introduce opportunities without having to promise or perform technical work on Provelopment's behalf. As a white-label partner, you decide what your own business offers and which providers you commission. Both arrangements depend on clear responsibilities and an agreement that suits the work being done.
Neither model is employment. Neither promises exclusive territory, a particular volume of work or guaranteed earnings. Any commission, revenue participation, delivery pricing and other commercial terms are agreed individually.
What matters is that you understand the opportunity, have a practical route to getting started and retain the freedom to decide what comes next. The Local Agents and White-label Partners pages explain how each arrangement works in greater depth.
Foundation is yours to use, with or without us
Provelopment Foundation is free and open-source software. You can download it, deploy it, modify it and build your own website business with it without entering either partnership. You are not buying permission to use the platform.
Working with Provelopment is a service choice: you may want us to deliver websites, provide technical support or help you establish a business. If those services are useful, we are here. If you prefer to build independently, the Foundation is still available to you.
Let’s talk about what you want to build
You do not need to know which model is right before contacting us. Tell us about your market, the kind of customers you want to help and how involved you would like to be in technical delivery. We can discuss whether one of these arrangements makes sense, what help Provelopment could provide and what would need to be agreed before you begin.
The starting point is a conversation, not a commitment to join a programme.
