Web design studios

Websites for web design studios, built and looked after.

You design the site and the client signs off, then someone has to build it to match and keep it running after launch. We do that as your white-label dev team, under your studio's name, and we host the sites too.

What we look after

What a design studio needs from a dev team.

Build to the design

We build from your Figma files and match the spacing, type and layout, including how each page works on a phone.

Let clients edit safely

Clients want to change their own text without breaking your layout. We set up the editor so they update the content and the design stays put.

Staging for sign-off

Each client site can have a staging copy, so your client sees and approves the build before it goes live.

Keep it fast

Big hero images and custom fonts add up. We build with speed in mind and check each page on a phone before launch.

Look after it after launch

We update each site with a snapshot saved first and back it up twice a day, so the site you designed keeps working.

Under your studio name

The work goes out as yours, and support email can come from your own domain, so clients keep writing to you.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The developer we used built something close to the design but not quite, and fixing it took longer than the build.
  • A client changed their homepage in the editor and broke the layout.
  • We designed a site three years ago, and now it's on a host nobody remembers the login for.
  • Our freelance developer is booked for two months, and the client wants to launch next month.
A note from Ryan

The build should match the design

The first thing I do with a studio's design is go through the phone layouts, since that's where builds drift away from the design. If something won't work well on a real site, I ask you before I change it. After launch I host the site under your name and set up the editor so the client can change text without moving your layout.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. Send us the Figma file and we build from it, including the phone and tablet layouts. If something in the design won't work well on a real site, we ask you before we change it, not after.

Each build is quoted first at $95 an hour or a fixed price, so you can put it in your proposal before you commit. Hosting and looking after your client sites is quoted on your client list as one monthly price.

Yes. We set up the editor so clients can change text, photos and posts without touching the layout. If they'd rather email their changes, you can pass them to us and we make them under your name.

Yes. We move them over for free and test each one on a private link before it switches. If the build has problems, we tell you what we found before we quote any fixes.

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
