The Alta Ignite story
We started because good websites were priced like construction projects and delivered like them too. Long quotes, slow builds, surprise invoices. So we replaced all of it with one flat monthly price and a focused queue.
- 6,000+ businesses
- 40+ countries
- No contracts
- You own everything
Like many good stories, this one starts with a bad quote
Our founders were running growth for fast moving brands and kept hitting the same wall. A landing page took six weeks and three change orders. A simple copy fix sat in a backlog behind an enterprise rebuild.
Every agency conversation followed the same script: a discovery call, a scoping document, a quote with line items for things that should be trivial, then a kickoff meeting to plan the plan. Freelancers were faster to book but slower to finish, and the moment they got busy, your project quietly slipped a week.
So we flipped the model. One subscription, one active request at a time and a guaranteed clock on every plan. Teams submit as much as they want, we deliver in a predictable order, and nothing waits on a statement of work.
Today 6,000+ businesses in more than 40 countries build with us on Next.js, React, WordPress and Shopify, all billed in their own local currency.

Our mission
Give every business the kind of website that used to be reserved for companies with a design department, at a price they can plan around.
See the plansSix things that shape every decision we make
Focus beats volume
One request at a time means real attention on the thing you need next, not five tasks half finished across three project managers.
Price should be obvious
A flat monthly fee in your own currency. No setup costs, no scope surcharges, no surprise invoices at the end of the quarter.
You own the work
Code, domains, CMS accounts and content are yours from day one and transfer out cleanly whenever you ask, no exceptions.
Senior only, always
Every request touches a senior designer and developer. We do not staff junior labour on client work to protect margin.
Async by default
No status meetings to attend. Briefs, previews and approvals live on one board so decisions happen the moment you're ready.
Ship, then improve
We would rather get a real version live and iterate against real visitors than perfect a mockup no one has used yet.
"They ship like an in house team and price like software. We have not written a scoping document in two years."
Agency, freelancer or Alta Ignite
Same category of work, three very different ways of buying it. Here's what actually changes.
| Traditional agency | Freelancer | Alta Ignite | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Scoped quotes, change orders for anything new | Hourly or per-project, renegotiated often | One flat monthly price, fixed in your currency |
| Who does the work | Account manager plus a rotating bench, often juniors | One person covering design, code, QA and support | Senior designer, developer and QA on every request |
| Turnaround | Weeks per phase, gated by sign-off meetings | Depends on their other clients and availability | Fixed clock per plan, 24 to 72 hours per request |
| Capacity when you need more | New SOW, new budget approval, new timeline | Waitlist or a rate increase | Add it to the queue, no new contract needed |
| Ownership | Often licensed themes or agency-held accounts | Usually yours, but poorly documented | Code, domain and data are yours from day one |
| Continuity if someone leaves | Handover risk when your account manager moves on | Single point of failure, no backup | A team and a written brief, not one irreplaceable person |
| Contract | 6 to 12 month retainer, cancellation fees | Informal, but no guaranteed availability | No contract, pause or cancel any month |
Senior talent only, no juniors on your work
Most agencies quote you a senior in the sales call and staff a junior on delivery. We built the opposite model: every request is handled by people who have shipped hundreds of production sites, because that's the only way a fixed turnaround stays honest.
Senior designers
Own the visual direction, layout and interaction detail on every request, briefed against your brand and conversion goals.
Senior developers
Build production code on your live stack — Next.js, React, WordPress or Shopify — not throwaway prototypes.
Dedicated QA
Every request is checked against a written checklist for accessibility, performance and cross-device rendering before it ships.
No juniors, no bench
We don't staff trainees on client work to protect margin. If someone touches your site, they've done this before.
Built to work across every time zone you sell in
Clients in 40+ countries mean our team is distributed across regions too, so requests keep moving while you sleep and land ready to review when you're back online. Billing follows the same principle — your local currency, no conversion surprises.

You own the code, the domain and the data
We don't build our business on making it hard to leave. Everything we produce — the repository, the CMS content, the domain registration — is registered in your name or handed over in a clean export the moment you ask, whether that's month two or year five.
- Full source code in a repository you control
- Domain registered to you, transferable anytime
- Content and media exported in standard formats
- No proprietary page builder locking you to us
- Documentation handed over with every larger build
- Sites built to run efficiently — lean pages, less server load, smaller footprint

Questions about us
Is Alta Ignite an agency?
No. We run like a product team, not a project-based agency. There's no discovery phase, no statement of work and no hourly billing — just a subscription, a queue and a fixed turnaround.
Where is the team based?
We work across multiple time zones with senior staff distributed globally, so requests keep moving outside a single 9-to-5. See our footprint on the Offices page.
Do you outsource work to junior contractors?
No. Every request is handled by a senior designer, a senior developer and QA. We don't staff junior labour on client-facing work.
What happens to my site if I cancel?
You keep it. Code, content and domain are yours. We'll help you export or point DNS wherever you want to host next.
How do you keep quality consistent across 6,000+ clients?
A shared design system, a written QA checklist on every request, and senior review before anything ships. See our full process for the details.
Can I talk to a real person before subscribing?
Yes. Reach out from the Contact page and a member of the team will walk through your use case before you pick a plan.

No contracts, no scoping calls, no surprise invoices. Just a flat monthly price and a queue that moves.
