Design resource, or a website project

Shoreditch Design’s how we work page sets out three ways to buy: a day rate with no commitment, a retainer with a fixed monthly allowance of design time, and a fixed price for tight briefs and small websites. Retainers come in small, medium and large sizes, and the site says you can pause or cancel. The team covers branding, product design, websites, video and AI design. They describe themselves as a UX and branding design agency, not a marketing or engineering firm with a design wing. Their homepage cites 5 or more excellent Clutch reviews, 70 or more five star Google reviews and 20 or more excellent Trustpilot reviews.

We sell the website as a project. You get a published fixed price and a date the site will go live before anything starts. After launch, the Embedded Team starts at $2,000 a month if you want us to stay on.

Shoreditch does not publish its day rates, retainer prices or a standard website timeline. Quotes are handled on a call.

Most first builds land between $15,000 and $25,000, fixed before we start and paid 50% up front and 50% at launch. A Signature Site goes live in three to six weeks, and a Landing Page in about five working days.

Choose Shoreditch Design if

  • You want brand, product or MVP design and the website from one creative team.

  • You want to hire by the day, or on a monthly retainer you can scale up or down.

  • You want a London, Melbourne or Santa Monica design studio to embed with your team.

Choose Goodspeed if

  • You want a published fixed price and a date the site will go live before a raise, launch or press moment. Reka needed pages live the day each model was announced.

  • The site should show up in AI search. Waste Logics moved from WordPress to Framer with no rankings lost, organic search rose 44% within five weeks, and visits from AI tools doubled.

  • A small marketing team needs to run the site without engineering. Zen Educate now runs ten times more growth experiments without waiting on engineering. Olivier Mermet, Group Product Manager, said: “Goodspeed were a brilliant partner throughout the migration. They were fast, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with.”

  • Your brand is already in good shape and the website is what is holding you back. Sydecar is the proof for that situation.

What to ask any studio before you hire

  • Is the price fixed, and when is it paid?

  • What is the date the site will go live, in writing, before work starts?

  • Who does the work, and are they in house?

  • Can your marketing team edit the site after launch without a developer?

  • If you are moving platforms, how are URLs, redirects and rankings protected?

  • What does help look like after launch, and can you pause it?
