Sean and his team did a fantastic job with a complete overhaul on my company website. They implemented both my ideas and made suggestions of improvements that I hadn't thought of. They're on the front end of AI as well. Highly recommend!

I recently worked with 72 Hour Web Design and had a great experience. Their team was professional, responsive, and incredibly efficient throughout the entire process. They made building and launching a website feel simple and stress-free.

Sean and his team have made the seemingly impossible happen. Over the past 12 years, I have spent more than one of my child's projected 4-year college tuitions on marketing, SEO and trying to get my website to rank. Honestly I gave up — until 72 Hour Web Design.

20%
Of first month, paid up front

$70 on a Starter ($349), $90 on Pro ($449), $110 on Premium ($549). Paid out after the customer's first month clears.

$0
To sign up. No fees, no minimums.

No quota, no obligation. Refer one or refer a hundred. We pay either way.

90d
First-click attribution

Click your link, sit on it for 90 days, still your sale. First click wins — not last.

What real numbers look like

Refer one client at each tier. Here's exactly what hits your account once their first month clears:

Starter referral — 20% of $349$69.80
Pro referral — 20% of $449$89.80
Premium referral — 20% of $549$109.80
One-time Essentials Pro — 20% of $3,500$700
Ten Pro subscription referrals$898 total

Simple. No commission tracking spreadsheets, no monthly residual math, no waiting to see if a customer sticks around. They sign, you get paid, done.

Note for sales reps: if you have a closer relationship with the business — you actively sell on our behalf, manage account relationships, or work as a deal-closing partner — you're not an affiliate, you're a sales rep. Different deal, custom commission terms. Call (303) 625-6300 to talk about a sales-rep arrangement.

Who this is for

Marketing consultants, freelancers, agencies, business coaches, BNI groups, chambers of commerce, anyone with a network of small business owners. If you regularly meet business owners who need websites and you're not getting paid for sending them anywhere, you should be.

We're picky — we don't approve every applicant. We're looking for partners who actually know small business owners and won't spam-blast our link to strangers. Quality referrals, not volume.

How it works

  1. Apply below. We review applications within 2 business days.
  2. If approved, you get a unique referral link and a portal login.
  3. Customize your code one time (optional) — make it memorable.
  4. Share the link with business owners who need a website.
  5. Day they buy: 20% of first month lands as pending in your portal.
  6. After their first month clears (and the refund window has passed): pending flips to paid.
  7. Monthly payouts via Stripe Connect once you hit $100 in commissions.

What you DON'T need

  • A website of your own
  • Marketing experience
  • A specific number of social followers
  • An LLC or business entity — we pay individuals too

Affiliate FAQ

Straight answers

Who pays the commission and when?

We do, monthly via Stripe Connect, once you hit $100 in earned commissions. Smaller balances roll forward to the next month. One-time commissions move from pending to paid after the 14-day refund window. Recurring commissions move from pending to paid as the customer's monthly invoice clears.

Is there a recurring or residual commission?

No. We simplified to a flat 20% of the first month, paid up front. Cleaner for you, cleaner for us. If you're actively selling on our behalf (not just dropping a link), call us at (303) 625-6300 — that's a sales-rep relationship with custom commission, not the standard affiliate program.

Do I need an LLC or business entity?

No. We can pay individuals via Stripe Connect (1099 issued at year-end if you earn $600+). If you have an entity, we pay that. Your call.

What if someone clicks my link but buys 60 days later?

Still your referral. Our attribution cookie lasts 90 days and works on first click, not last click. As long as they buy within 90 days of clicking your link, you get credit — even if they clicked someone else's link afterward.

Can I promote on Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc?

Yes for organic posts. Yes for paid ads as long as you disclose the affiliate relationship and don't bid on our brand terms ("72 Hour Web Design," "72HWD") in Google Ads. Spam tactics get you removed from the program.

Can I customize my referral code?

Yes, one time. After approval, log into your portal and replace the auto-generated code with something memorable (4–20 characters). After you save, it's locked.

What if I'm rejected?

We'll tell you why. Usually it's because the application didn't show a clear path to high-quality referrals, or the audience isn't a fit for our offer. You can reapply in 90 days with a stronger pitch.

Can I become an affiliate AND a customer?

Yes. Some of our best affiliates are agencies that use us for white-label small-business work AND refer overflow work to us with their own commission link.
