Website and marketing site design for Bay Area startups, SaaS companies and technical teams. Fixed scope, published prices, and code you own outright.
Web design in San Francisco costs $1,700 to $5,000 for a five-page site and $8,000 to $25,000 for a full marketing site, with builds taking two to nine weeks. Bay Area agencies routinely quote several times that for the same scope, because their overheads are higher rather than because the build differs. Our ranges are on this page.
The most common failure in SaaS marketing sites is copy written by people who understand the product for people who do not yet. We write the version a prospect understands in fifteen seconds, then let the detail sit underneath for the ones who want it.
Your visitors will open DevTools. They will notice a 4 MB hero image and a page that blocks on three analytics scripts. We hold builds to Core Web Vitals thresholds and hand you the report, because in this market the site is a competence signal.
A marketing site that needs an agency ticket for every change becomes a bottleneck within a month. We build so your growth team can publish pages, run tests and change copy without waiting on us.
HubSpot, Salesforce, Segment, Stripe, Intercom, your own API. Integration is where most marketing site budgets quietly overrun, so we scope it explicitly rather than discovering it in week six.
If you are running paid, the site is the second half of the ad. Message-matched landing pages, real conversion tracking and a test setup that survives contact with your analytics stack.
Code, design files, domain, hosting and analytics are yours on final payment, unconditionally. No proprietary platform, no dependency on staying with us.
| Project | Range (USD) | Timeline | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing page | $1,200 to $4,000 | 1 to 2 weeks | Message match, copy, build, tracking, test setup |
| Five-page business site | $1,700 to $5,000 | 2 to 4 weeks | Custom design, build, copywriting, on-page SEO, analytics |
| Marketing site, 8 to 15 pages | $8,000 to $25,000 | 5 to 9 weeks | Research, design system, custom sections, CMS, copy, tracking |
| E-commerce build | $15,000 to $45,000 | 6 to 12 weeks | Store design, catalogue, checkout, integrations, migration, speed |
| Web application | $40,000 upward | 3 to 9 months | Discovery, UX, architecture, build, QA, iteration |
| Retainer | $2,000 to $12,000 per month | Ongoing | Development, CRO testing, performance, content |
Fixed scope, quoted after a discovery conversation rather than billed hourly and revised upward. We are remote-first, which is most of the reason these numbers look different from a quote with Bay Area office costs inside it.
| Ask them | A good answer sounds like | Walk away if |
|---|---|---|
| What does this actually cost? | A range, and what moves it, before a call | You must book a call to learn the ballpark |
| Who owns the code and design files? | You do, unconditionally, in the contract | Ownership depends on staying on a retainer |
| Can I see Core Web Vitals on three live sites? | URLs, and an honest word about the slowest | They show you visual portfolio shots instead |
| Who writes the copy? | A named person, scheduled before design | Copy is your job and nobody said so until week six |
| What happens to rankings in a rebuild? | Redirect mapping and content parity, raised unprompted | They say the new site will just rank better |
| Who does the work day to day? | People you meet before signing | The pitch team is never seen again |
We would rather you ask us these than take our word for it. The pricing question separates most of the field, because publishing numbers commits you to them.
Marketing sites, pricing pages, docs-adjacent content and the landing pages your paid spend lands on. See SaaS website design.
You need something credible before the raise and something that scales after it. We build the version that does not have to be thrown away in twelve months.
When the core of what you are building is logic rather than pages, that is custom web development. We will tell you honestly which side of that line your project sits on.
Credibility closes the meeting before it happens. Named people, specific proof, and pages that answer what a buyer actually asks.
Shopify builds, migrations and speed work. See our Shopify practice.
White-label design and build when your pipeline outruns your capacity.
We hold working hours that overlap Pacific time every day. Standups, recorded walkthroughs between calls, and a staging link you can open whenever you want to see the state of it.
We do not carry San Francisco overheads, which is why the numbers above look the way they do. If your project genuinely needs someone in the room, say so early and we will tell you straight whether we fit.
We work with brands across the United States, UAE, Ireland, Germany, Australia and India. The process was built for distance rather than adapted to it.
A five-page business site runs $1,700 to $5,000 and a marketing site of 8 to 15 pages runs $8,000 to $25,000. Web applications start around $40,000. Bay Area agencies commonly quote several times these figures for comparable scope, largely because of local operating costs.
No, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. We work with Bay Area clients remotely on overlapping Pacific hours. Not carrying San Francisco overheads is a large part of why our published prices look the way they do.
Yes, and it is one of the most common projects we take. That usually means a marketing site your growth team can update without a developer, message-matched landing pages for paid, pricing that survives comparison, and integration with your CRM and analytics stack.
Yes. Integration is where marketing site budgets most often overrun, so we scope it explicitly at the start: what syncs, in which direction, what happens when the other system is down, and who maintains it when their API changes.
One to two weeks for a landing page, two to four for a five-page site, five to nine for a full marketing site. The constraint is almost never build speed, it is how quickly content and approvals arrive.
That is how we build them. Your growth or marketing team should be able to publish pages, change copy and run tests without filing a ticket. A site that needs an agency for every edit becomes a bottleneck within a month.
Both, and they are different projects with different budgets. If the core of what you are building is logic, permissions and data rather than pages, that is custom development starting around $40,000. We will tell you which one you actually need.
You do. Code, design files, domain, hosting and analytics transfer to you on final payment, unconditionally and not conditional on a retainer. Ask every agency you shortlist this in writing.
Yes. The usual brief is something credible for the raise that does not need throwing away after it. We will be honest if a five-page site is genuinely all you need right now.
Send your page count, the integrations you need and your launch date through the enquiry form. We reply with a fixed-scope proposal rather than an hourly estimate that grows.
Send us what you are trying to fix and we will tell you what it takes, what it costs, and whether we are the right people for it. If we are not, we will say so.
