BuddyClients is an all-in-one WordPress plugin for service-based businesses.
The BuddyClients plugin provides a flexible way for business owners to start, manage, and grow service-based businesses. BuddyClients can help business owners save thousands annually on subscriptions, along with precious hours on administrative and sales tasks.
The Origin Story
Victoria originally developed BuddyClients for her editing and book design business, Blue Pen. Tired of using too many online tools—automation, file management, forms, payment processors, affiliate software, spreadsheets—and burning time and resources with quoting, booking, and managing projects, she decided she could make something better. So the first iteration of the platform was born.
After using and refining the platform, she decided to turn it into a unified, flexible tool that would benefit not just Blue Pen, but service-based businesses in any industry. With a focus on flexibility and practical features business owners can use to help their businesses thrive, BuddyClients is the first comprehensive WordPress plugin for selling services.
