Client landing pages and websites
Section-based builder is fast enough to test ideas or hand finished sites to clients in hours, not weeks.

Skillplate
The Shopify model for agencies. Set it up for the client, hand it off, charge for the build.
Standalone Score
4.0/ 5
AVS Score
2.8/ 5
A low AVS is not a low-quality verdict. AVS measures agency fit, white-label, multi-client, reselling. Standalone measures tool quality on its own terms.

How Agencies Use It
Concrete ways agencies put Skillplate to work for client revenue inside a single retainer cycle.
02
Sales funnels and offer pages
Built marketing-first, closer to ClickFunnels in intent than to a general-purpose site builder.
03
White-label client builds
Drop a client's logo and brand colors in once and Skillplate retones the entire site to match.
04
Course and academy builds
Native course and community modules, originally built for the founder's own marketing academy.
05
Booking pages and consultations
Native booking and appointment flow for service offers, one less external tool to wire up.
06
Hand-off-to-client model
Set up the workspace, hand the keys to the client, charge for setup. Shopify-style relationship.
Client Billing Angle
Where Skillplate sits on a client invoice. Onboarding fee, retainer line item, and the price points to anchor against.
Resell model
Set Skillplate up under the client's domain, hand off, and charge a setup fee plus optional retainer. Skillplate itself starts at $49 per month.
Internal savings
Replaces WordPress, MailChimp, a video host, booking tool, and analytics plugins with one stack. Cuts subscription cost and the time spent reconciling integrations.
Bundle angle
Position it as 'managed website + offer stack' alongside your CRM and project tool, same playbook agencies use for managed Shopify stores.
Watch Out For
Three gotchas that break the pitch if you discover them mid-deployment. Verify each one before the kickoff call.
- 1
Not for e-commerce. Founder explicitly said Shopify is the better tool if your client list is product-heavy. Skillplate's e-commerce path exists but isn't the focus.
- 2
True white-label is on the roadmap, not shipped. Custom domains and branded pages work today. Full white-label plans are 'coming soon.' Verify timing before pitching as a complete reseller solution.
- 3
Multi-client management is single-tenant today. Agencies juggling many clients log into each account separately. Centralized admin interface is announced but not yet shipped.
Implementation Checklist
Walk this list before you put Skillplate in front of a client. It is the difference between a smooth deploy and a Friday afternoon support thread.
- Set up your agency's master Skillplate account.
- Configure global brand settings, logo, colors, typography.
- Build a template starter site with the standard sections you'll reuse.
- For each new client, create their workspace and connect their custom domain.
- Drop in their logo and brand colors. Skillplate retones the rest.
- Configure the offer (course, service, booking page) and connect payments.
- Wire Zapier or Make webhooks for CRM or Slack notifications, then hand off or retain.
- Agentic AI CEO mode is in beta, clients can build and edit sites by voice, freeing agency time during onboarding.NEW
