Refer a client, get 10% of the build fee
Send us a client who needs a website, and you get 10% of the full build fee, paid within 7 days of their first payment clearing. No joining fee, no tiers, no chasing. We contract and bill the client directly, and the terms are in a signed agreement before you introduce anyone.
The short version
- 10% of the full build fee. $300 on a $3,000 build.
- Paid in one go, within 7 days of the client's first payment clearing.
- Register by email before the intro. Confirmed in writing within one business day, credited for 6 months.
- Zero cost to you. We never ask a referrer for money.
- One introduction, then we run the project. You can stay copied in.
Who this is for
People who keep getting asked "do you know someone who can build our site?" and do not build sites themselves:
- Brand and graphic designers who hand off to a developer anyway.
- SEO, marketing, and paid-ads consultants whose client's site is the bottleneck.
- Fractional CMOs and growth advisors.
- Agencies with no in-house developers, or with a project outside their lane.
- Independent introducers who know founders.
If you would rather keep the client and put your own name on the work, read white-label web design for agencies. Same price list, different lane.
What you earn, at our list prices
| What the client buys | Build fee | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight Site (one page, live in a day) | $399 | $39.90 |
| Engine (multi-page business site) | from $699 | from $69.90 |
| Storefront (Shopify or custom store) | from $1,500 | from $150 |
| Flagship (bespoke React or Next.js, 3D, cinematic) | from $3,000 | from $300 |
Prices are on the pricing page. Bigger scope, bigger build fee, same 10%. We never discount the rate, so your commission does not quietly shrink either.
How it works, step by step
- Register. Email ishan@dappasol.com with the client's name and company, before the introduction. One line is enough.
- We confirm in writing within one business day. If we are already in talks with them, we say so now, not after you have done the work.
- Introduce us. Email intro is fine. We take the calls, scope it, and send the quote.
- The client pays the kickoff invoice. Our standard terms are 40% at kickoff, then 30% and 30% at milestones.
- You get paid. Your full 10% of the build fee, within 7 days of that first payment clearing. Bank transfer, Wise, or PayPal.
What your client gets
Designed by people, built in code, owned outright by the client. Recent live work: Streets of Punk (React, one continuous WebGL scroll film), The Veggie Travels (Next.js rebuild for a vegetarian travel brand), Axiom Jewellery (fine jewellery redesign with a 3D piece). More on the work page. You are putting your name next to ours, so look before you refer.

FAQ
How much do I actually get?
10% of the full build fee, excluding taxes and third-party costs like hosting or paid plugins. A $3,000 Flagship build pays you $300. A $1,500 Storefront pays $150. It is the whole build fee, not just the first invoice.
When do I get paid?
In one payment, within 7 days of the client's first payment clearing with us. You do not wait for the last milestone. If that first payment is later reversed or refunded, the commission comes back too. That is the only clawback.
How do I register a referral?
Email ishan@dappasol.com with the client's name and company before you introduce them. We confirm in writing within one business day. That email thread is your attribution, and it stays valid for 6 months.
What if you are already talking to them?
Then it is not a referral, and we tell you so in the reply to your registration, before you have done any work. If we have never heard of them, they are yours.
Is there a fee to join, or a minimum?
No. No joining fee, no onboarding fee, no partner tiers, no minimum number of referrals. We never ask a referrer for money, for any reason. If anyone claiming to be us does, it is not us.
Who handles the client?
We do. We scope, quote, contract, invoice, and build directly with the client, and keep you copied on the key steps if you want. You make one introduction and step back. If you would rather keep the client and resell our work under your name, that is the white-label lane instead.
Do I need to sign anything?
Yes, and it is short. The referral agreement puts all of the above in writing, signed by us already. Sign and email it back, or reply "I agree" with your full name. Either counts.
