Digiocular builds custom, mobile-first websites on Next.js from Manila, for businesses in India, the Philippines and worldwide. A landing page is $349 (3–4 days); hotel and portfolio sites start at $499 and business sites at $599 (5–7 days); online stores start at $999 (2–3 weeks), all in US dollars. Scope and price are agreed in writing before work begins.
A website has three jobs: explain your offer, make the business look credible, and give an interested person a clear next step. We design those decisions into the page rather than leaving them to chance.
Before we design anything we go through what you already have on a real phone, the way your customers arrive. These are the four things that most often get in their way, and what we do about each one.
What we look for
4 checksA visitor cannot tell what you offer
unclear
We lead with what you do, who it is for, and the one next step.
Awkward to use on a phone
pinch to read
Every layout is designed at phone width first, then widened.
Looks dated next to competitors
off-the-shelf
A design built around your brand, not a theme 11,000 sites share.
Enquiring or booking takes too much effort
too many steps
One obvious action per page — call, WhatsApp, enquire or book.
After the rebuild
clear · fast · easy to contact
Checked before every launch: speed on a mid-range phone, Schema.org markup, a 390px overflow sweep and security headers.
The checks we run on every site we review. Yours will differ — that’s why we look first.
Specimen build · fictional client
Put the information customers need in the right order. We start from the one action the page has to make easy — here, reserving a room — and cut whatever competes with it.
Make the offer easy to scan and read. A display voice for the brand, a working voice for the details, on a strict scale so the hierarchy lands before anyone reads a word.
Make the website feel like your business. The palette comes from your world, not a template, with one accent doing one job: pointing at the action.
Guide attention without getting in the way. The image breathes, the button invites — enough life to feel considered, never enough to distract from booking.
Different businesses need different websites. Explore the design and the features behind five real builds — every screenshot is the live site, and every one of them is a link you can open.

gilded · unhurried · palatial
A heritage palace near the ghats, rebuilt so guests book direct instead of through OTAs. Ivory plaster, brass, cinematic serif type.
What that means for you: it works properly on a phone, people using a keyboard or screen reader can still get through it, search engines and AI answers can read what you offer, and the booking, contact or payment tools you already use are wired in.
Under that, your site ships on Next.js and React and deploys to Vercel — no page builders, no plugin roulette, no monthly ransom to keep a theme alive. The checklist on the right is the one we work through before handover. The repo lands in your GitHub account, not ours: fire us any time and the site stays yours.
The stack we build on
WordPress and Wix are genuinely good choices for some projects — a simple blog, a hobby page, a site someone wants to edit alone with no developer. Here is where each path fits, and where a custom build earns its cost.

Every site below is live and clickable, and every figure comes from that client’s own case record — not from this page.

Luxury boutique website in 3 weeks
14 line items, written down before you pay anything. The list is the same on the cheapest project and the most expensive one — the price changes the scope, never these standards.
At handover you get the repository, the analytics accounts, the domain and a walkthrough of all of it, in your name. Your quote states the pages, the review rounds, the testing and what happens after launch, so none of it is a surprise.
Your final quote depends on the pages, the content and the features. We agree the scope before the build starts. Hotel, restaurant, booking, real-estate, education and corporate sites each have their own price — see the full list.
Single page, conversion-focused, A/B test ready, lead-capture forms. 3–4 days.
Company profile, service pages, contact forms, multiple sections. 5–7 days.
Product catalog, secure payments, inventory management, abandoned-cart. 2–3 weeks.
All prices in USD. Your domain, hosting, any paid third-party services (booking engines, payment gateways, premium fonts or stock) and applicable taxes are separate and listed in your quote. Ongoing care is optional: a $49/month maintenance plan covers monitoring and small updates, and is not the same thing as the $99/month Basic marketing retainer.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. We go through your current site on a real phone first, agree what is working and what is not, then rebuild it around the same goal. Your content, your pages and your search rankings come with you: we map every old URL to its new one so existing traffic keeps landing. A redesign is quoted the same way as a new build, by the pages and features it needs.
A landing page starts at $349, a business website at $599, a hotel website at $499 and an e-commerce store at $999. Corporate sites with eight or more pages start at $1,299. All prices are in USD and cover design, build, mobile testing, on-page SEO and launch. Your domain, hosting, any paid third-party services and applicable taxes are separate and itemised in your quote, which we agree before any work starts.
A custom design made for your business rather than a theme, a mobile-first build, the pages agreed in your scope, on-page SEO and Schema.org markup, analytics, security headers, a contact or enquiry path wired to wherever you actually read messages, and launch on your own domain. Review rounds are part of the process, not an extra. If something falls outside the agreed scope we price it before we build it, never after.
Yes. Most clients start exactly there. We write the page structure and the copy from a conversation about your business, and we will tell you precisely which photos matter and which ones you can skip. If you have nothing usable we work with licensed stock for launch and swap in your own pictures later. Content gaps slow a project down more than anything else, so we plan around them at the start instead of waiting.
A landing page is typically 3 to 4 days. A business, hotel, portfolio or restaurant site is typically 5 to 7 days. Booking systems and SaaS marketing sites are 7 to 10 days. E-commerce and corporate sites of eight or more pages are 2 to 3 weeks. We agree a target date with you when the scope is set, and the single biggest factor in hitting it is how quickly content and feedback come back.
Yes, fully. The repository lives in your GitHub account, the domain is registered in your name, and the hosting and analytics accounts are yours. You can self-host it, hand it to another agency or extend it with another team at any point. There is no vendor lock-in and nothing of yours is held on our side.
Minor tweaks in the first two weeks after launch are on us. After that, a $49/month maintenance plan is optional and covers security monitoring, uptime alerts, performance checks and content updates of up to two pages a month. New pages or features are $25/hour pay-as-you-go, or a $199 quarterly refresh. The $49 maintenance plan is not the same thing as our $99/month Basic marketing retainer, which is ongoing SEO and content work.
Usually, yes. Booking engines, payment gateways, WhatsApp, Google Business Profile, Calendly, a CRM, email marketing and Google Analytics or Search Console are all normal parts of a build. Tell us what you already run during the scoping call and we will confirm what connects directly, what needs a paid plan on their side, and what would need custom work before we quote it.
Yes, and the stack is chosen partly for that. A booking system is a $249 add-on, a payment integration $249, an AI chatbot trained on your FAQ $599, a custom dashboard $499. Every add-on price is published upfront on our pricing page. Because you own the code, you are not restricted to us for any of it.
A migration is a $299 flat fee on top of the build. We move your content, redirect the old URLs to the new ones so you do not lose search rankings, and check that Google Search Console and Analytics keep reporting without a gap. Most migrations finish in 5 to 7 days.
For a simple blog, a hobby page or a site you want to edit alone with no developer, they are reasonable choices and we will say so. A custom build earns its cost when the design has to be yours rather than a theme thousands of sites share, when speed on a phone directly affects enquiries, and when you want no plugins to patch and no platform to be locked into. We are happy to tell you when your project does not need us.
Next.js, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS, with Framer Motion for animation and Schema.org markup for search and AI answers. No page builders and no plugin maintenance. Sites deploy to Vercel under your own account. Vercel's free Hobby plan is for personal, non-commercial use, so a business site runs on its Pro plan: $20 a month, which includes $20 of usage credit (vercel.com/pricing, checked September 2026). If you would rather host on AWS, DigitalOcean or a traditional cPanel server, we will set it up there instead. The domain is always purchased and owned by you.
HTTPS and SSL are on by default, and every build ships with security headers including a content security policy, HSTS and frame-deny. Marketing sites are built static-first, so there is no database or plugin surface to exploit. E-commerce and application builds get rate limiting and a security review as part of the package.
Yes. Digiocular is headquartered in Manila, Philippines and works remote-first with clients worldwide, including the Philippines, India, the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. Delivered client work so far is mostly in India (hotels in Varanasi, a travel agency, a D2C footwear store and an FMCG snack brand) and the Philippines (a lakeside resort and its restaurant in Batangas, a spa in Quezon City and a food business in Manila). Working hours on WhatsApp are 9am–9pm IST (11:30am–11:30pm PHT). All prices are published in US dollars; local currency is available on request for India.
Tell us what you do, whether this is a new website or a redesign, and what customers should be able to do on it. We’ll review the requirements and quote the work with you.
