Your client's site or app, live and stable,
behind your brand.
Your team builds the website or app, whether in WordPress, a custom stack, or with AI tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt or Replit. Layer7 handles the part that tends to break: hosting, deployment, security, moving servers, and fixing what fails after launch. You keep the client.
Your client stays your client.
Layer7 provides project-by-project, behind-the-scenes deployment, migration, recovery and stabilization support for web, marketing and AI-automation agencies, and for independent MSPs. You keep the client relationship and the commercial terms. Layer7 supplies senior production depth when a job is outside the team's normal capacity or needs an escalation path — and works through the communication path you set.
Partner engagements are available project by project, and the commercial engagement is with Layer7 Consulting Inc. The responsible delivery personnel are named during scoping — Layer7 does not introduce undisclosed personnel, and a white-label arrangement does not change the accountability, confidentiality or client-ownership terms. The proof below is direct client work and a representative production method; no white-label case studies are implied.
The jobs that are awkward to staff and expensive to get wrong
A prototype needs to go live properly
An app works in a demo or an AI app builder, but it still needs real hosting, safe sign-in, backups, monitoring and a safe way to ship updates before customers rely on it.
A client app keeps breaking after changes
Each update causes new problems, nobody is sure how it is deployed, and there is no easy way to roll back to the last working version.
A migration outside normal capacity
The team is booked, or the job is bigger or riskier than the usual site move.
WordPress or VPS escalation
A hosting move, a broken site after a move, or a server that needs someone who runs Linux for a living.
A cloud or application move
A client is moving to or between AWS, Azure, GCP or a VPS, and the dependencies are unclear.
Recovery or stabilization
A client site or app that needs bounded diagnosis, a recovery plan, and someone to see it through.
Agreed before the first job, not discovered during it
You keep the client relationship
Commercial terms, account ownership and the client conversation stay with you. Layer7 does not solicit your client, during the project or afterwards.
White-label or disclosed — your call
Layer7 can work entirely behind your brand, or be introduced as a specialist on your team. Either way, communication runs through the path you set.
Project by project
No partnership agreement, minimum volume or retainer to start. Scope the first job, see how it goes, and decide from there.
Scope and communication agreed first
Who talks to whom, what is in and out of scope, access, confidentiality, and the cutover window are written down before work begins. The engagement is with Layer7 Consulting Inc., and the responsible delivery personnel are named during scoping.
As much or as little of the change as you hand over
- Discovery and dependency mapping
- Readiness checks and destination preparation
- Testing plan and go / no-go criteria
- Runbook input for your team’s process
- Cutover execution or hands-on support during your window
- Rollback controls and abort conditions
- Post-change validation
- Stabilization window and agreed handoff
The lines that make the arrangement safe for you
- Solicit or approach your client, during the engagement or after it
- Introduce undisclosed personnel — anyone working on your engagement is named and agreed first
- Obscure a material risk to make a plan look cleaner than it is
- Promise an SLA, a response time, or a completion date that has not been scoped
- Guarantee zero downtime
- Expose your client’s or any other client’s confidential details
Six stages, a rollback path at each one
The same risk-control method Layer7 uses for direct clients, so your team can plug it into an existing runbook or let it stand on its own.
- 01
Discover
Workload, owners, dependencies, traffic, data, source and destination — and an explicit list of what cannot break.
- 02
Ready
Destination, access, connectivity, security, DNS and load balancing, backups, monitoring, and rollback access in place before anything moves.
- 03
Test
Representative traffic, data and application checks, baselines, failure paths, and the go / no-go criteria the owner signs off on.
- 04
Cut over
A controlled transition with checkpoints and abort conditions agreed in advance, in a window the business approved.
- 05
Validate
Service reachability, application behaviour, health, logs, traffic, and the business checks that were agreed up front.
- 06
Stabilize
Observation window, residual fixes, operational ownership, handoff, and controlled retirement of the source when it is safe to do so.

Partner questions
What MSPs and agencies usually want settled before a first job.
Only through the communication path you set, and only if you want that. Layer7 does not solicit or approach a partner’s client during the engagement or afterwards.
Yes. Layer7 can work entirely white-label behind your brand, or be introduced as a specialist on your team. Which one is your decision, agreed before the project starts. Either way the commercial engagement is with Layer7 Consulting Inc., and the accountability, confidentiality and client-ownership terms are the same.
Yes. Apps made with tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt or Replit often work well in a demo but still need proper hosting, secure sign-in, backups, monitoring and a safe way to ship updates. Layer7 reviews what exists, says plainly what must be fixed before launch, and can take it live. There is no published case study of this specific work yet; the proof on this page is production deployment and migration work for direct clients.
With one job. Send what exists today (a code repository, an app-builder project, a server or a hosting account), where it needs to run, the timing and what cannot break. Layer7 replies with questions or a bounded scope for an assessment or the project itself. No partnership agreement, minimum volume or retainer is needed to begin.
Your client’s details stay with the engagement. Layer7 is happy to sign your NDA or subcontract terms before anything sensitive is shared, and does not publish confidential client environments, topology, configuration, scale or metrics.
Partner engagements are available project by project. The proof on this page is direct client work and a representative production method; no white-label case studies are implied.
Solicit your client, obscure a material risk, promise an SLA or completion date that has not been scoped, guarantee zero downtime, or expose confidential details. If a job is outside what Layer7 can do well, you will hear that before a proposal.
