Why work with us
Small, new, and completely straight with you about it.
We are a new studio, so we compete on price, speed and clarity rather than on a client list we do not have yet. Here is what that actually buys you.
Not sure whether you need a $35 audit or a $299 website? Send us your site and we will tell you which — including when the honest answer is that you do not need either yet.
Ask us firstYou own everything
Code, design files, domain, hosting and every account are in your name from day one. No proprietary platform, nothing to license, and leaving costs you nothing.
A stated turnaround
Three days for an audit, fourteen for a full website. If we are going to miss a deadline you hear it from us before it passes, not after.
Scope you can point at
Every package lists exactly what is delivered. That is what you are buying, what we are judged against, and what our refund policy is written around.
No retainer to cancel
One-time payments. Come back when you need something else, or do not. There is no minimum term and no monthly fee waiting to catch you out.
How it works
Four steps, no discovery-call gauntlet.
You should be able to buy a website the way you buy anything else — knowing the price, the scope and the delivery date up front.
- 01
Pick a package
Prices and scope are on the pricing page. Not sure which fits? Ask — we will point you at the cheaper one when the cheaper one is right.
- 02
Send us what we need
You get a short questionnaire within one business day. Content, logo, access. Turnaround starts when it comes back.
- 03
We build
You see the design or draft before anything is finalised, with revision rounds included in the price.
- 04
Launch and hand over
Everything transfers into your accounts, with a written summary of what was done and a walkthrough of how to update it.
Before you buy
What these prices don’t buy.
Cheap has limits, and you should know them before you pay rather than discover them in week two. If what you need sits outside this, tell us and we will quote it properly or point you somewhere better suited.
- Unlimited revisions — each package includes a set number of rounds
- Ecommerce, booking systems or custom applications
- Guaranteed rankings, traffic numbers or revenue figures
- Copywriting from scratch, unless you add it at $40 per piece
- A dedicated account manager, weekly calls or a Slack channel
Where we work
Remote, across two markets.
OVAL LLC is a US-registered, remote-first studio working with clients across the United States and United Kingdom. Search behaviour differs between the two, so we research each market on its own terms.

FAQ
Questions people ask first
If yours is not here, email us — you will get a real answer from the person who would do the work.
What does OVAL do?
We build websites and do SEO for small businesses, sold as fixed-price packages rather than monthly retainers. A website SEO audit is $35, on-page SEO setup is $60, a landing page is $149 and a full five-page business website is $299. Everything has a defined scope and a stated turnaround.
How can your prices be this low?
Because we sell fixed packages instead of open-ended retainers, we are a small independent studio with no office or sales team, and we are deliberately pricing to build a client base and earn reviews. What you give up is unlimited revisions and a dedicated account manager — everything in the published scope is still delivered in full.
Are you a new business?
Yes. OVAL LLC is a newly registered US company, and we would rather say so than invent a decade of history. What we can show you is exactly what each package includes, what it costs, how long it takes, and a written refund policy — which is more than most established agencies put on their website.
Do you work with UK businesses?
Yes — the United States and United Kingdom are the two markets we serve. UK sites are researched against google.co.uk rather than assuming American search behaviour transfers, and we write in British English where your audience expects it. Prices are in US dollars and UK customers are not charged US sales tax.
Do you guarantee I will rank on Google?
No. Nobody controls Google's index, and any agency guaranteeing a ranking is either targeting keywords nobody searches or misleading you. We guarantee the work: everything in the package scope is delivered, or you get your money back under our refund policy.
How do I pay, and can I get a refund?
By card through Stripe. Payment is taken up front, which is standard for fixed-scope digital work and part of how the prices stay this low. You get a full refund if you cancel before work starts, a partial refund if you cancel part-way through, and revisions if the delivered work needs adjusting. The full policy is on our refund policy page.
