All the tools you need in one delightful platform

With a workflow this smooth, you'll have tons of time to book new business

Freelancing involves a lot of moving pieces. That's why we created a simple managed WordPress hosting platform that makes it a breeze to build sites, collaborate with clients, and seamlessly offload the finished product, all from the same place.

Start working right away
with a free demo site

Whether you create a brand new site or let us migrate one for you (a free service!), we’ll start it off on a demo server, so you can start working right away with a zero dollar investment. Once it’s ready to go live, you can either pay on your own or transfer billing and ownership to your client!

Create site templates with
your favorite themes and plugins

If you find yourself installing the same theme or plugins on client sites, make a Blueprint of it! This lets you whip up a brand new site with the settings you love already set up. Pattern making software for mac free. That’s right – no more installing everything one-by-one. It’s the easiest way to speed up development!

Easily collaborate with
anyone and everyone

No matter who you’re working with, you can easily add them as a Collaborator to manage the site, edit files, and update the database. They’ll have their own individual login (for both the Flywheel dashboard and SFTP!), so you can ditch the password spreadsheet and quickly collaborate!

Transfer billing to your clients (and never invoice for hosting again!)

When it’s time to go live, you can easily pass off ownership to your client, allowing them to pay the bill without having to go through you. Plus, you’ll automatically become a Collaborator on the site, meaning you’ll still have full access, minus the cost.

Make stress-free site changes with a staging environment

We get it – no matter how many times you review a site design with clients, sometimes changes happen after everything’s live. With our Staging feature, you can safely make site updates in a sandbox environment and push changes to production with a single click. It’ll truly be the easiest update process you and your client have ever experienced!
