Questions about the estimate.
How accurate is this calculator?
Market ranges come from published 2026 pricing data (DesignRush, Branded Agency, Waveup and ManyPixels) and show what freelancers and agencies typically charge, not quotes. The Dude Studios figure uses our public prices; your final price is fixed after a 30-minute call.
How much should a startup budget for branding and a website?
At pre-seed, a focused identity and one landing page is usually enough. At seed, most teams add a 5 to 10 page website. When raising a round, a pitch deck completes the set. Typical agency budgets for these range from about $6,000 to well over $50,000 combined.
Why is Dude Studios cheaper than a US agency?
We are a senior team based in Europe that works US hours. You get agency-level quality without US agency overheads, at a fixed price agreed before work starts.
What is included in the Dude Studios price?
Brand identity includes the logo system, colour, typography and brand guidelines. Websites are designed in Figma and built in Webflow, Framer or WordPress. Every project includes two revision rounds, with 50% paid upfront and 50% on delivery.
