How much does white label web design cost?

White label web design wholesale rates run between $1,200 and $8,000 per project for a standard marketing site, and between $2,500 and $15,000 per month on retainer. Where you land depends on output volume, whether you're using Webflow or custom development, and whether strategy is included. Resellers typically mark those rates up 40-80% before presenting to clients.
Those ranges are wide because white label web design is not a single product. A five-page Webflow marketing site for a Series-A SaaS is a completely different scope from a 30-page enterprise site with CMS architecture, animation, and a separate mobile breakpoint system. Comparing them by price alone is a good way to get burned.
How pricing bands actually break down
Project-based pricing clusters in three bands. Entry level sits at $1,200-$2,500 for template-based builds with minimal custom design. Mid-range is $3,000-$6,000 for fully custom Figma-to-Webflow production. Complex builds with interactive components, brand system integration, and handoff documentation sit at $7,000-$12,000 and above. These are wholesale rates. The reseller's client is paying 40-80% more.
Retainer-based pricing changes the economics in ways that aren't immediately obvious. At $2,500-$5,000 per month wholesale, a reseller agency gets roughly 30-40 hours of design output: one mid-size project per month or ongoing iteration across multiple accounts. At $6,000-$10,000 per month, you get closer to a dedicated design operation with strategy, production, and revision cycles included. See Daasign pricing to see how that breaks down for reseller-ready retainers.
The mistake I see most often is agencies underestimating revision costs. A wholesale quote that looks clean at $3,500 for a site build often hits $5,000 after three rounds of client-driven revisions flow through the reseller. The best white label agreements cap revisions at two rounds within scope, with a clear change-order process after that. Without that clause, margin disappears in the handoff layer. I've watched otherwise profitable engagements go sideways entirely because no one wrote that into the contract.
For Montblanc's e-commerce rebrand, the design production layer was handled as a white label engagement through a larger agency. The economics worked because the brief was locked before production started and revisions were contractually limited to two rounds. Total production cost came in under the original estimate because there was no scope creep in the build phase.
For funded startups buying white label web design indirectly through an agency partner, the relevant question is whether the reseller's markup is funding actual account management or just admin overhead. A 40% markup on a $4,000 build is reasonable if the agency is handling discovery, briefing, and feedback consolidation. An 80% markup on pass-through work with no strategic layer is a cost worth pushing back on.
If you're building a white label offering, price around deliverable scope rather than hours. Define the output, cap the revisions, and structure your wholesale agreement before a single pixel gets moved. To discuss volume and reseller terms, book a 20-min intro.
