How to manage client websites
Last updated September 28, 2026
If you build websites for clients, the recommended setup is one workspace per client. That keeps each client's site, data, and payments separate from everyone else's.
Why one workspace per client
A workspace is more than a folder of websites. The AI, data, payments, and email are all shared across it:
- The AI can see and work across every site, dashboard, and piece of data in the workspace.
- Form submissions, customer accounts, orders, and bookings are stored at the workspace level.
- Payments and payouts are set up for the workspace's business and go to its bank account.
- Everyone in the workspace can see everything in it, with no per-site permissions.
Separate workspaces also let each client have their own plan, domains, and email limits.
How to set it up
You start by creating a new workspace for the client and building their site there with the AI. From there, you have two options.
Keep running it for them
You stay the owner and keep the workspace on your own plan. This is the simplest setup, and it works well if you manage the site for the client on an ongoing basis.
Hand it over to the client
If the client wants to own the workspace, you can invite them and make them the owner in your workspace settings. You become an editor, and the client manages billing from then on.
Seats depend on the workspace's plan, and the owner counts as one. Plus includes 1 seat, Pro includes 5, and Max is unlimited. So for you and the client to both be members, the workspace needs Pro or Max.
Staying involved after a handoff
If you hand over ownership, you can stay in the workspace as an editor to keep making changes for the client. The new owner can remove you when the project is done.
Payments, email, and custom domains
If the client's site takes payments, the business verification and payout bank account should be the client's, since the money is theirs. Taking payments and emailing the client's customers both require a connected custom domain.
The number of custom domains a workspace can connect depends on its plan. Plus includes 3, Pro includes 10, and Max includes 25. With a workspace per client, each client's domains count toward their own plan.
