Professional WordPress Care You Can Trust With Your Clients
You build and launch WordPress websites for professional clients.
I help keep those sites secure, stable, and properly maintained long after launch.
This referral partnership is designed for agencies that want ongoing technical coverage for their clients without adding support overhead, staff, or complexity.
You stay focused on design and growth.
I handle WordPress maintenance and security behind the scenes.
Why Partner With Me
Agency partners work with me for three simple reasons:
- Fewer post-launch support headaches
- Better long-term outcomes for their clients
- No ongoing technical responsibility
I specialize exclusively in WordPress maintenance and security for professional websites. I do not compete with your design services and I do not upsell unrelated work.
What I Take Off Your Plate
I handle the technical responsibilities agencies usually do not want to manage long term.
- WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates
- Security monitoring and hardening
- Backups and recovery readiness
- Uptime and basic performance monitoring
- Technical issue troubleshooting
- Calm, clear communication with clients
This allows your agency to confidently hand off post-launch care while protecting your reputation.
How the Partnership Works
The process is intentionally simple.
- You introduce me to your client
- I review the site and explain maintenance options
- The client signs up and pays me directly
- You receive recurring partner revenue
You are not involved in billing, support tickets, or maintenance work.
Partner Revenue Options
You can choose the structure that fits your business best. Both options are long-term partnerships. The difference is how revenue is weighted over time.
Option A:
- 20% of monthly revenue for the first 12 months
- 10% ongoing after that
Option B:
- 15% lifetime revenue
Commission Policy:
- Commissions are paid for full calendar months of active client service.
- Ongoing commissions for active clients are paid quarterly.
- When a client cancels, commissions for all completed months of service are paid as part of the cancellation closure.
- Commissions apply to recurring maintenance plans only. One-time setup or security projects are not commissionable.
Clear Boundaries
To keep partnerships clean and respectful:
- I do not offer design, rebuilds, or marketing services
- You retain the client relationship for design work
- I do not pitch unrelated services
- My role is maintenance, security, and stability only
Clients know exactly who does what.
Who This Partnership Works Best For
This partnership is a strong fit for agencies serving:
- Dentists
- Doctors
- Lawyers
- Consultants
- Other professional service firms
Clients who value reliability, compliance, and prevention over constant redesigns.
What Your Clients Get
When you introduce a client, they get:
- A dedicated WordPress maintenance specialist
- Proactive care instead of emergency fixes
- Clear communication without technical overwhelm
- Monthly protection without long-term contracts
This reflects well on your agency and reduces future risk.
Next Step
If this sounds like a good fit, reach out and let me know:
- What type of clients you work with
- How you currently handle post-launch maintenance
- Whether you have a client in mind already
I am happy to walk through how this would work with a single site before expanding further.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to sign a contract to partner with you?
No long-term contracts are required. Partnership terms are confirmed in writing so expectations are clear, but the relationship remains flexible.
Who owns the client relationship?
You do. You remain the client’s design partner. I handle WordPress maintenance and security only.
Do you offer white-label services?
No. Clients work with me directly for maintenance, which keeps communication clear and billing simple.
How do referrals and payouts work?
You introduce the client. Once the client signs up and begins paying, your referral commission is tracked and paid to you quarterly.
Will you upsell services to my clients?
No design or marketing services are ever pitched.
I may recommend optional security or infrastructure improvements when they directly protect the site, such as Cloudflare setup or hardening measures. These are always clearly scoped, optional, and related only to site security and stability.
What types of clients are not a good fit?
This partnership is not ideal for clients who want frequent redesigns, experimental features, or hands-on daily changes.
