Rivverr, a design and development studio building custom websites for US businesses
Everything flows. Nothing waits.
We make websites for American businesses that want the work of a good agency without the theatre of one. Art direction, engineering and search. One small studio, one fixed number, one date.
Fixed price · Fixed date · You own everything
Great web work was never expensive because it was good.
It was expensive because of where it was made.
Rivverr is a small, focused studio working with American clients. No offices, no account managers, no sales floor taking a cut of your budget. What you pay for is design and engineering, and you get the same standard the expensive people sell you.
We don't compete on being cheap. We compete on the work, and then we price it honestly. Every project is quoted before it starts, delivered on the date we gave you, and handed over in your name.

What a comparable site costs from a US-based freelancer, before revisions.
Standard agency minimum for a small marketing site.
The typical wait, mostly spent in queues and approvals.
Same craft. Custom design, live in seven days.
One studio for the whole thing: the idea, the build and everything after.
Design
Art direction first. Type, colour and composition decided in the browser, on real screens, in the first 72 hours. Never a wireframe, never a template.
- Art direction
- Brand systems
- Interface design
- Motion & interaction
- Design systems
Build
Hand-built React, wired to whatever the project actually needs: a CMS you can run yourself, a database, a checkout, an API.
- React & TypeScript
- Headless CMS
- Ecommerce & Stripe
- Databases & auth
- API integrations
Growth
Search, speed and measurement handled in-house. Schema, Core Web Vitals, analytics and copy that makes the case for you.
- Technical SEO
- Schema & structured data
- Core Web Vitals
- Analytics & events
- Conversion copy
Built for people who run a business, not a tech team.
You don't need to know what a CMS is. You need a site that makes the phone ring, at a price that doesn't need a board meeting.

Not on the list? If you sell something to someone, we can build it. Ask us.
Sites that had a job to do.
Recent builds across media, publishing, reference and SaaS. Every one shipped inside the window we quoted.
Seven days, brief to live.
The clock starts the moment you approve discovery. These dates are the Ripple package; Current runs fourteen days and Delta twenty-one.
Day 0
Discovery
A 30-minute call and a short brief. We agree scope, pages and success metrics, then send a fixed quote. Nothing starts until you approve it.
Days 1–3
Design
You see real screens, not wireframes. Type, color, layout and motion decided in the browser where they actually live.
Days 3–6
Build
Hand-built front end, wired to a CMS or backend where the package calls for it. Fast, accessible, indexable.
Day 7
Launch
Domain, hosting, analytics, SEO checks and a walkthrough video so you can run it yourself. Then support while you settle in.
Three packages. One fixed number.
Pick your depth. The number you approve is the number you pay. Revisions, launch and support are already inside it.

The things you're already thinking.
Yes. Everyone does, in some way. We use it the way a photographer uses autofocus: it speeds up the mechanical parts so we can spend the time on art direction, structure and the details that make your site feel expensive.
No. Every layout, type choice and interaction is designed and reviewed by a human. Nothing ships from a template, a theme or a generator, and nothing ships until it looks like your business and no one else's.
We're a small, lean studio working with US clients. No offices, no account managers, no sales team taking a cut. You pay for design and engineering, nothing else. The craft is the same; the overhead isn't.
The same people you talk to. Rivverr is deliberately small: one design lead, one build lead, no handoffs to juniors. You get direct access over email and calls.
We overlap with US mornings and keep everything async in writing. In practice you brief at the end of your day and wake up to progress.
Your logo if you have one, any existing copy and images, and 30 minutes for discovery. If copy doesn't exist, we can write it as an add-on.
You see direction in the first 72 hours, before the build starts. Every package includes revision rounds. If the first direction misses, we redirect early. That's the point of showing real screens fast.
You do. Code, design files, domain, hosting accounts, all in your name from day one. No lock-in, no proprietary builder.
50% to start after discovery approval, 50% at launch. Bank transfer, card or Wise. Fixed price: the quote you approve is the invoice you get.
Support is included with every package, from 14 to 60 days. After that you can leave it alone or put it on a monthly care plan for edits and updates.
Brief us today. Be live next week.
Tell us what you sell and who you sell it to. You'll have a fixed quote, a written scope and a delivery date within 24 hours. No discovery invoice, no pitch deck.
