Web Developer Program

Members only

Pre-scoped website projects, one partner per project.

ALTUS interviews every business owner, confirms their budget and writes the Scope of Work before a project is ever listed. Claim a project and it's yours: you get the owner's direct contact details and the full scope, with no bidding and no competing proposals.

Where our clients come from

A referral pipeline, not a directory.

Every client reaches us through a professional referral, never an ad and never a purchased list. That is why budgets are already confirmed before a project is listed, and why you are not competing against an open marketplace of bidders.

Business Lenders

Community banks and lenders whose borrowers need a website or store as part of a funding plan.

SCORE Mentors

SCORE mentors working with established owners on growth and digital presence.

Chambers of Commerce

Local chambers whose members are ready to invest in a professional site.

SBDCs

Small Business Development Centers advising businesses through expansion.

Typical projects

Work an owner has already decided to buy.

Listings are written by us with the owner, so the scope is realistic and the budget is real. Most projects land between $4,000 and $10,000+, and the confirmed budget is shown on every listing.

What your membership includes

Everything through to the introduction, handled.

Your $55/month covers sourcing, qualification, budget confirmation and scope writing on every project. The only other cost is the lead fee on a project you actually claim.

  • Every available website project on the marketplace
  • The full Scope of Work on each listing, written with the client
  • One partner per project — a claimed project is never sold twice
  • The owner's direct contact details once your claim is confirmed
  • Confirmed budgets before you spend time quoting
  • New project alerts as listings post
  • Saved projects and a claim history in your portal
  • Access to free trial projects when your account qualifies
  • Cancel anytime from your billing page

Read a full project

You see the whole scope before you commit.

Every project is scoped page by page with the client before it is listed. Open a sample below to read the full scope, the milestone schedule, the deliverables and exactly what is handed to you.

Sample projects, shown in the same format as live listings. Client names stay confidential until a project is released to you.

Live Inventory

Scoped projects, ready to claim

A Scope of Work is written before listing — contact and full SOW release when you claim.

Preview only — many more projects unlock once you become a member.

Pricing

A low membership, and a lead fee only when you claim.

You keep the full contract value you agree with the client. ALTUS takes no commission on your build.

$55/month

Every available project, no bidding.

The 15% lead fee is charged once, when you claim a project, against the confirmed budget. It is the only cost beyond your membership.

  • Claim as many projects as you can deliver — one at a time
  • No commission on the contract you sign with the client
  • If a project isn't right for you, claim a different one

Also build software? Get both programs for $175/month.

Two programs, two pipelines. Apply to the one that matches the work you want to win — each has its own application and approval.

Who should apply

Studios that owners can rely on.

We vet every member by hand, which is why projects are not flooded with bidders.

  • Established web studio or senior developer with a portfolio of live sites
  • Two or more client references we can call
  • Fluent in the platforms our clients need: WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, custom React/Next or Laravel/PHP
  • Capacity to start within two to three weeks of claiming a project
  • Able to invoice the client directly and carry your own coverage
  • US-based firm

What we expect from you

Members represent ALTUS to the owner, so the basics are non-negotiable:

  • A written quote with itemized pricing, not a lump sum
  • A timeline with named milestones
  • Plain-language updates — these owners are not technical buyers

Program rules

  • One partner per project: once you claim it, it comes off the marketplace
  • Owner contact details are released only through ALTUS, and only after your claim is confirmed
  • Project details, scopes and client identities are confidential
  • Lead fees are non-refundable once contact details are released
  • Non-circumvention: no direct contact with the owner before the introduction
