Every Business Deserves Access to the Modern Web
We are a web design studio built on a simple belief: a great website should not cost a fortune or take months to build. We made it our mission to bring full-service web design to small businesses everywhere.
We design, write, and build websites for small businesses that deserve better than a DIY template but cannot justify a $20,000 agency project. Every project includes strategy, copywriting, design, and development -- delivered in 1-2 weeks. Every site we ship is fast, accessible, and built to grow with your business.
Why Designly Exists
We started Designly because we saw small businesses getting priced out of professional web design. Agencies charge $15,000 or more for sites built on templates. Freelancers disappear after launch. And DIY website builders leave you with something that looks like everyone else.
We believed there was a better model. We picked one tech stack, invested deeply in proprietary tooling, and built our entire operation around delivering full-service web design in 1-2 weeks. Then we built Skora — our proprietary website intelligence tool — to diagnose every site before we touch it. Every project starts with a free Skora audit across 10 dimensions. The result isn't just a better-looking site. It's a site where every decision is backed by data.
Today, we work exclusively with small business owners who want a real website -- not a template, not a page builder, but something custom-built for their business. Projects start at $2,500. Monthly support starts at $50.

What We Stand For
Ownership Over Rental
You own every line of code and every design file we create. No proprietary platforms, no license fees, no lock-in. Your site belongs to you.
Performance Is Not Optional
A 90+ Lighthouse score is not a stretch goal -- it is a deployment gate. We do not ship slow sites. Speed is a feature, and it affects everything from SEO rankings to conversion rates.
Affordable by Design
Our prices are low because we built our operation to be efficient, not because we cut corners. One stack, deep expertise, no waste. The savings go to you.
Built for Small Businesses
We are not chasing enterprise contracts. We work with small businesses because that is who needs us most. Every decision we make -- from our stack to our pricing -- is designed for you.
Evidence Before Assumptions
We never start building without running a Skora audit first. Every design decision, every line of code, traces back to what the data found.
Why One Stack Changes Everything
Most agencies use a different set of tools for every project. That means every build starts from scratch, every developer needs to ramp up on new tech, and every project takes longer than it should. Guess who pays for all that inefficiency.
We took the opposite approach. We chose one stack -- Astro, Svelte, Tailwind, and Sveltia CMS -- and invested everything into mastering it. We built reusable systems, optimized our workflows, and eliminated the waste that makes web design expensive. And we built Skora on top of it -- a proprietary audit engine that scores any website across 10 dimensions before we start building.
The result is that we can design, write, and build a complete custom website in 1-2 weeks -- a process that takes most agencies 6-8 weeks. Strategy, copywriting, design, and development are all included. And because we are faster, we charge less. It is that simple.
