Web design company for US small businesses and startups
Hostlyx is a web design company whose designers and website developers work from Bengaluru, India. We build business sites on WordPress or custom code, plus online stores, and we can register the domain and host the site too. US clients get a fixed USD quote before work starts and pay by card through Stripe.
A web design agency in the US usually quotes the design and build, then leaves you to sort out the domain, hosting, email and future edits yourself. Hostlyx designs the site, builds it, hosts it on cPanel and keeps it updated, so there is one team to call when a form stops sending or a page needs changing.
Our website developers are in Bengaluru, India, and we say so plainly. That is why the price is set at Indian delivery cost. You are still quoted and invoiced in US dollars, by Zorixo Ventures Ltd, a UK company, and you pay by card through Stripe. The quote is fixed and written before anything starts.
We work on WordPress when you want to edit pages yourself, and on custom code when the site needs logic a theme cannot handle. Either way, you get the admin logins, the files and the domain in your own name. Hosting, email and maintenance can stay with us after launch, or move elsewhere, and the choice is always yours to make.
Why US businesses choose us
Design, build and hosting together
The team that designs your site also hosts it and handles the DNS. Launch day does not depend on three companies agreeing on who changes which record.
WordPress or custom, your choice
WordPress suits teams who want to edit pages themselves. Custom code suits booking, quoting or ordering logic. We recommend one and explain why in the quote.
A quote you can hold us to
Every project starts with a written, fixed quote in USD that lists the pages and features included. Extra work is quoted separately before we do it.
Feedback rounds while you sleep
Send comments at the end of your day. Our team in Bengaluru works through them during your night, and the updated pages are ready to review the next morning.
Nothing locked to us
Domain, hosting account, admin logins and files are yours. If you move on, we hand over everything, including the domain transfer code.

Guides for US buyers
Questions people ask
How much does a small business website cost in the US?
It depends on the number of pages, the platform and features such as booking or a store. We give you a fixed written quote in USD after a short brief, so you know the full price before work starts. Our US website cost guide explains what drives the price with any provider.
Is it risky to use web developers based in India?
The usual risks are unclear scope, slow communication and losing access to your own site. We address each one: a fixed written quote, written updates after every working session, and the domain, hosting and admin logins in your name. You pay by card through Stripe to a UK company.
Do I own my website and its content?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, you get full admin access, and the design files and code are yours. If you change provider, we give you the files, the logins and the domain transfer code.
How do we work across US and India time zones?
Bengaluru is 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern. We hold calls in your morning, our evening. You send feedback at the end of your day, we work on it during your night, and the changes are ready when you start work.
Will my website be ADA compliant?
We build with accessibility in mind, such as readable contrast, labeled forms and keyboard navigation, but we do not certify or guarantee ADA compliance. That is a legal question for your own counsel. Our accessibility basics guide explains what small businesses usually check.
Tell us what you need
A domain, hosting, a new website, an app or more customers. One team handles all of it, and you get a written quote before any work starts.
