Web designer network

Digitalise your clients locally, not in the US cloud

Your clients want a website, a till, a CRM, accounting. You can offer them Shopify + Square + Pennylane + Mailchimp: or one machine at their place that does all of it, and that runs your designs.

The problem you keep running into

A small business commissions a redesign. You ship the site. Right after, they ask you:

“Can you advise us on the till? On accounting? On the CRM? On newsletters?”

And every time, you push them towards a US SaaS that rents its tools in dollars, stores the data in a Virginia datacentre, and sends your clients to an offshore support centre. With every extra tool, your clients drift a little further from their own data: and you no longer have a hand on it.

You would like to offer a sovereign alternative. But nobody knows how to self-host.

The solution

Recommend PrivateCore. A Mac Mini at your client's place, a monthly subscription, an installer who sets up the hardware. Your Astro, WordPress or custom site runs on top. The till, the accounting, the CRM, the email campaigns: all in the same machine, at their place, under their keys.

You are no longer the designer who ships and disappears. You are the consultant who brought them sovereignty. And when they have a question, you are the one they call back: so you are the one who sells again.

What you earn

€100 per referral, paid as soon as a client you referred signs their subscription. Flat fee, whichever edition they choose.

  • Paid within 7 days of the client signing.
  • Consulting fees untouched: your design work, your UX audit, your site redesign, whatever you invoice today at your usual rate: stays yours, in full, unshared. We take nothing on your consulting.
  • No commitment, no exclusivity: you refer when it makes sense for your client, we impose neither quota nor minimum.

Put differently: you sell what you already know how to sell, and every referred client earns you another €100.
