over five years, versus a typical agency retainer. Plus, you actually own the thing.
Who We Are
We build around how your business actually runs. Before we write a line of code, we map your workflow start to finish, where leads come in, where things slow down, what’s manual that shouldn’t be. Then we design the site and the systems underneath it. The website is what people see. The workflow fix is the part that actually saves you time.
Most agencies build your site and then bill you forever. We don't do that. We build it, hand you the keys, and you run it your way. When you need us, we're here. But you'll never be dependent on us.

hello@morastudios.co →We absolutely do! AI has evolved how developers work. We move quicker, expand what we can test, see things that weren’t visible before, and get unbiased feedback that makes the work better. We come to the table with the ideas, the expertise, and the strategy, earned across years of reps. AI is our partner, ensuring there are no gaps and helping us ship quicker.
We're a boutique studio, not a bloated agency. No account managers, no layers of overhead, no conference rooms to pay for. We use modern tools to work efficiently without cutting corners. The goal is simple: give small businesses access to agency-level websites and tools at a price that actually makes sense for their stage.
Yes. Every site ships with SSL encryption, security headers, and a hosting architecture that eliminates the most common vulnerabilities. No plugins to patch, no databases to hack, no WordPress security nightmares. Your site is fast, secure, and built to stay that way.
The goal is a full handoff. You get the code, the dashboard, the credentials, and a video walkthrough showing how to update everything yourself. The site includes a way for you to add new things and make edits on your own, so day-to-day changes never require a developer. We trust you can handle it. If you want extra work down the road (new pages, features, or redesigns) we offer hourly support and add-ons. You’ll never be dependent on us to keep your site running.
Everything. The code, the design files, the domain, the hosting account, all credentials, all assets. We hand it all over and walk away. There is no lock-in, no subscription, no "you need to keep paying us to stay live." It's yours forever.
Some tools connect to your site out of the box, email signups, booking calendars, a payment button. We call these Simple Integrations, included in Growth and Legacy. Other systems are built specifically around your business, e-commerce, booking with custom quote logic, automated workflows. We call these Complex Integrations. Legacy includes one. Need more, or starting from Starter? They're scoped and quoted based on what you need.
Yes. All packages are 50% upfront to begin, 50% on launch. We also offer installment options through Stripe so you can split payments into smaller amounts without paying more. Ask us about current options when you reach out.
Starter: about 3 weeks. Growth: 6 to 9 weeks. Legacy: 12 to 14 weeks. Build: 6 to 13 weeks. We work fast but we make room for back and forth. Timelines start once your deposit is in and we've completed the workflow audit.
