S R Tech Studio is a remote, developer-led studio in India that builds websites, apps and SEO for small businesses and startups in the United States. Prices are published in dollars and calls are scheduled in your time zone.
We serve US businesses remotely from India. Starter websites begin at $275, custom business sites at $550, online stores at $1,100, and SEO at $190 per month. You get a fixed written quote after a scoping call, with no US office overhead in the price.
Small US businesses usually need three things: a website that looks trustworthy and loads quickly, a way to be found in local search, and software that removes manual work. We build all three, and we offer these services to US clients rather than claim a track record there.
Starting prices for a clearly scoped project. Your written quote confirms the final figure.

Get this quotePrices are starting points for a clearly scoped project and exclude domain, hosting, third-party licences and VAT or GST where applicable. You get a fixed written quote after a short scoping call.
We work from India, which is between 9.5 and 12.5 hours ahead of the continental US depending on the season and your zone. That gap is workable with a little planning.
In practice, this means we can often move your project forward while you sleep. You send feedback at the end of your day, and updates are waiting in the morning. Live calls happen in a window that suits both sides, which for US clients is usually early morning or evening in your time zone.
Everything important is written down: the scope, the quote, the milestones and each round of feedback. That is what keeps remote projects on track. We use video calls for scoping and reviews, and email or WhatsApp for quick questions.
Hiring a studio in another country can work very well, and it can also go wrong when expectations are unclear. This checklist applies to any offshore web development team, ours included. Ask us each question on the scoping call.
| What to check | Why it matters | A good answer sounds like |
|---|---|---|
| Who writes the code? | Hand-offs between sales, managers and developers cause misunderstandings. | The person scoping the project is the person building it. |
| Is the quote fixed and in writing? | Hourly or vague quotes make budgets drift. | A written scope, price and milestones before work starts. |
| Who owns the final code and content? | You should be able to move to another provider later. | Ownership terms stated in your written quote. |
| How do we communicate? | Time zones are manageable if the channel is clear. | Named channels, call windows and written feedback rounds. |
| How is the site hosted and handed over? | A site tied to the studio's own account can be hard to leave. | Hosting and domain in your name, with login details handed over. |
| What happens after launch? | Sites need updates, backups and security patches. | An optional care plan, with scope and price stated up front. |
| How are payments handled? | Clear payment terms protect both sides. | Terms in your written quote, with an invoice for each stage. |
| Can I see relevant work? | Past work shows how a studio solves similar problems. | Examples described honestly, with no invented results. |
Payment, ownership and support terms are set in each written quote. Ask us about them on the scoping call.
These are general, hedged notes, not legal advice. Check your own obligations with an accountant or attorney.
| Topic | What it usually means | How it affects the build |
|---|---|---|
| Sales tax | Rules vary by state and sometimes by city or product type. | Online stores need tax settings or a tax service that you configure with your accountant. |
| Accessibility (ADA and WCAG) | Many US businesses aim to follow WCAG guidelines to keep sites usable for everyone. | We build with semantic HTML, contrast, keyboard focus and alt text, and can discuss WCAG targets during scoping. No site can be promised fully compliant. |
| Privacy expectations | Visitors expect clear privacy policies and cookie handling, and some states have their own privacy laws. | We add privacy-friendly analytics options and policy pages you review with your attorney. |
| Payments | Stripe, PayPal and Square-style checkouts are common. | We integrate the provider you choose, subject to the provider's approval of your account. |
| Local search | Google Maps and the local pack drive many service enquiries. | City and service pages plus Google Business Profile work. |
A service business usually wins customers one city at a time. Google ranks local results on distance, relevance and prominence, so the plan is to be clearly relevant to each place you actually serve.
The method is the same everywhere: one page per service and per real service area, a complete Google Business Profile, consistent name, address and phone details, and genuine reviews. The states and cities below are examples of how searches look, not claims about past work.
Search optimization (spelled "optimisation" in British English) also includes technical basics such as speed, structured data and a clean sitemap. Our technical SEO and Search Console set-up services cover those.
Early-stage founders need a fast first version without a full in-house team.
We do not have a US office, US staff or US-based team. S R Tech Studio is based in Udupi, India, and every project is delivered remotely. That keeps prices low, but it means no in-person meetings, and live calls happen at the edges of a US working day.
If you need someone to visit your premises, work inside your office, or sign agreements under a specific US structure, tell us at the start so we can be honest about whether we fit. For most website, SEO and web-app projects, remote delivery works well because the work is digital and the communication is written.
We learn about your business, customers and goals, at a time that fits your zone.
Scope, price and milestones in writing before work starts.
You review a live preview and send feedback in clear rounds.
Search Console, analytics and the sitemap are set up, and key pages are submitted for indexing.
Add a care plan or monthly SEO when you are ready.
A starter website begins at $275 and a custom business website at $550. Online stores begin at $1,100. Domain, hosting and third-party tools are separate. The final price depends on pages, design and features, and you receive it as a fixed written quote after a scoping call.
No. We are based in Udupi, India, and work remotely with clients in the United States. There are no in-person meetings, and live calls are scheduled in a window that suits your time zone. If you need an on-site partner, we will say so honestly during scoping.
We agree call windows during scoping, usually early morning or evening in your time zone, and use written updates for everything else. Feedback sent at the end of your day is often handled before your next morning, which keeps projects moving.
Yes. Our SEO plans start from $190 per month and cover technical fixes, content, local SEO and Search Console. We offer them to US small businesses and can plan pages by city and state. Rankings cannot be guaranteed.
We build with accessibility in mind: semantic HTML, color contrast, keyboard navigation and alt text. We can aim for a WCAG level agreed in scoping. No developer can promise a site is fully compliant, so ask your attorney if you have specific legal obligations.
Yes. Our e-commerce stores can connect to payment providers such as Stripe or PayPal. The provider must approve your account, and sales tax settings should be confirmed with your accountant.
Yes. We build quoting, invoicing, scheduling and internal tools as web apps, starting from $550. They work on phones and desktops, and can be installed as web apps. Complex systems are quoted individually after scoping.
Yes. Many founders start with a landing page, then a small web app, then add automation. We can offer a remote web developer for startups on fixed-scope projects. We do not assert US client history, but we are happy to describe how we would approach your idea.
Tell us about your business and what you want your site or app to do. You will get a written quote in dollars, and plain advice.
