GXUX Referral Programme
If you know a small UK business with a website that feels tired, slow, hard to update or no longer reflects the quality of what they do, you can introduce them to GXUX.
If they go ahead with a website refresh and the new site is deployed, you’ll receive 10% of the website project fee once the client invoice has been paid.
Clear and straight forward
The referral fee is 10% of the website project fee.
Calculated on the website project fee excluding VAT, hosting, domains, third party tools, software subscriptions, advertising spend and ongoing support.
10% paid after deployment and full client payment
A practical distinction
A good referral is a warm introduction to someone who is likely to welcome the conversation.
Good referral
“I’d like to introduce you to Sarah from Example Interiors. She mentioned they want to improve their website this year.”
“John runs a local plumbing business and said their website is out of date. I’ve told him about GXUX and he’s happy for me to introduce you.”
“My accountant works with several small businesses. One of them is actively looking for a simpler website refresh.”
Not a referral
“I found this website online. Maybe contact them.”
“This company has a bad website but I don’t know them.”
“Here is a list of businesses I scraped from Google.”
“Try messaging this company. I have not spoken to them.”
From introduction to payment
GXUX handles the website conversation and project directly. You only need to make the introduction.
Introduce GXUX to the business owner or decision maker by email, WhatsApp or LinkedIn.
Graham reviews the current website, discusses what needs improving and agrees the scope directly with the business.
GXUX creates the agreed website refresh and gets it live.
Once the website is deployed and the client invoice has been paid in full, your referral payment is made by bank transfer.
People who know small businesses
The programme is useful for people who regularly speak to small business owners and can make genuine introductions.
You do not need to sell GXUX. A simple warm introduction is enough.
Clear answers, fair terms
Everything important about valid referrals, payment and transparency.
The referral fee is 10% of the website project fee, excluding VAT, hosting, domains, third party tools, software subscriptions, advertising spend and ongoing support unless agreed separately in writing.
The referral fee is paid once the referred client has accepted the project, the website has been deployed, GXUX has invoiced the client, and the client invoice has been paid in full.
A valid referral is a warm introduction to a business owner, decision maker or relevant contact who is open to discussing a website refresh. The business must be new to GXUX, not already in discussion with GXUX, and not already identified as an active lead.
No. Sending a website you have found online does not count as a referral unless you can also make a genuine introduction to someone at the business who is expecting or open to the conversation.
Only if it is transparent and does not breach any employer, client or supplier policy. If receiving a referral fee could create a conflict of interest, you must disclose this before any referral fee is agreed.
Only where it is transparent and appropriate. GXUX will not pay hidden referral fees where the payment could create a conflict of interest or where the business should reasonably know about it.
No. The referral fee applies to the first website project only. It does not apply to future work, retainers, hosting, support, maintenance or additional projects unless GXUX agrees this separately in writing.
GXUX will decide which referral is valid based on the first clear warm introduction received and accepted.
No referral fee is payable if the client does not proceed, cancels the project, does not pay, or the project is refunded.
Businesses and VAT registered referrers may need to provide an invoice. Individuals may be paid by bank transfer using a simple referral payment record. The referrer is responsible for any tax, VAT, National Insurance or reporting obligations that may apply.
Yes, but if you are promoting GXUX because you may receive a referral fee, make that relationship clear. Keep it honest and do not make promises, pricing commitments or guarantees on behalf of GXUX.
No. The referral programme is for warm introductions only. Do not send spam, bulk messages, scraped lists or misleading claims.
Make the conversation easy
The most useful introductions include a little context so the conversation starts naturally.
