One digital agency for brands, covering SEO and paid media, Shopify and WordPress builds, design and AI: planned on one roadmap, with one named coordinator and updates on a cadence agreed before work starts. Stop refereeing hand-offs between a marketing agency, a dev shop and a design studio.
Free website review · No retainer required to start · NDA standard
Brands hire PixelCrayons as one senior team across marketing, development, design and AI, instead of managing four vendors. One roadmap, and you know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. The first step is free: a senior strategist records a five-minute video review of your website (speed, search rankings, AI visibility, conversion leaks).
Outcomes tied to real engagements, not averages.
Most brands we meet aren't short of talent: they're refereeing a stack that was never designed to work together.
A marketing agency, a dev shop, a design studio and an automation vendor: each competent, each with its own roadmap, none accountable for the seams where results actually leak. You end up as the unpaid integration layer.
The good ones are booked, the available ones are a gamble, and either way nobody senior owns the outcome. Quality swings with availability, and every new brief restarts the audition.
Four disciplines means four hires, four recruiting cycles measured in months, and four salaries carried through the quiet quarters. The roadmap can't wait for the org chart.
When campaigns and the website are run by different companies, a missed target has four plausible explanations and no owner. The most expensive sentence in digital is "that's the other vendor's side."
Each service is a full senior practice: engage one or all four. Everything reports into the same roadmap and the same named coordinator.
When the SEO strategist, the developer and the designer share a stand-up, nothing gets lost between vendors, and nobody gets to blame the other agency.
Priorities agreed across marketing, development, design and AI in one plan. Sequenced by revenue impact rather than by whichever vendor shouts loudest. When priorities shift, one conversation moves the whole roadmap, not four separate renegotiations. While the roadmap stays split, the seams keep leaking budget.
Before work starts, we identify your client or commercial owner, delivery or specialist owner, communication coordinator and escalation contact. Roles may be combined and vary with your engagement.
The SEO work is done by someone who does SEO all day. The same goes for development, design and AI. One team doesn't mean one person stretched across four jobs: it means four practices sharing one plan.
Where the engagement includes it, Prism is the workspace and you get the login at kickoff. Requests, approvals, tasks and the weekly review live there, with each decision recorded and the expectation attached, so nothing depends on an email thread.
One written update, on the cadence agreed before work starts, covering every active discipline: what shipped, what moved, what's next. It tracks traffic, conversions and revenue rather than vanity metrics. A monthly deep-dive ties the quarter's work back to the roadmap.
Your materials, data and accounts remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts. Handover is built into the engagement, not bolted on at the end: leaving must always be easy for staying to mean anything.
Every engagement opens with a written plan: the problem defined, the deliverables itemised and priced, and all of it in your hands before anything starts. Nothing ships that you have not already approved on paper, which is why our proposals read like scope documents rather than pitches.
A solution spans several disciplines, so where the engagement includes it, it runs in one Prism workspace you log into: one request queue, one task list and one weekly review across all of it.
Raise a request in your workspace, approve a piece of work, and see who owns it and when it is due.
Every task has one owner and a date. Recurring work runs as a routine, so nothing depends on someone remembering.
Each decision is written down with the expectation attached: what we expect to change, and by when.
Where we run media, Prism divides media, people, tools and retainers by qualified leads. Unmeasured spend shows as unknown, never zero.
What we did and what happened sit side by side, so the next review starts from evidence rather than memory.
Every option below is right for somebody. The rows say who, including when it isn't us.
No four salaries carried through a quiet quarter, no ramp time, no HR overhead, and capacity that scales down as easily as up. Hire in-house when one discipline is permanently full-time, and we'll tell you when that's your situation.
Structure beats individuals when the outcome matters: written commitments on every engagement, updates on an agreed cadence, escalation paths, and a second specialist who already knows your account when the first is unavailable. One relationship instead of five.
One team genuinely replaces three: marketing, development and design under one roof rather than subcontracted behind the scenes. Ask any agency who actually builds what they sell. The answer is the comparison.
Growth is a system, not a channel. Campaigns, the website they land on, the design that converts and the automation that follows up: operated together, because nobody else owns the complete result when they're operated apart.
Every engagement is scoped line by line. Specifics, and what moves the number, live on the pricing page.
A migration, a replatform, an audit-and-fix: scoped line by line, priced once, delivered against milestone dates. When it's done, it's done.
See Pricing →A monthly cycle of build, measure and improve against the targets agreed in the proposal: reported weekly, rescoped quarterly, cancellable without theatre.
See Pricing →Named specialists working in your tools and your stand-ups: senior capacity that scales up and down monthly without a hiring cycle.
How dedicated teams work →A senior strategist records five minutes on your website: speed, search rankings, AI visibility, conversion leaks. Yours to keep either way.
If you want to go further: once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your written proposal, itemised by deliverable, so you compare outputs, not vague hours.
One plan across every discipline you've engaged, one named coordinator, access and baselines sorted. You approve what ships before anything starts. Nothing waits on a hiring cycle.
Something concrete: a design, an audit with fixes shipped, or deployed code. The weekly review in Prism starts here.
The disciplines don't change by sector: what changes is which constraint bites first. Each page names the ones we've delivered against.
A UK SaaS brand nobody could find became the cited answer. Topical authority plus answer-engine optimisation (AEO: structured data, answer-first content, entity cleanup) lifted organic traffic 127% in five months, with citations in AI Overviews on the queries their sales team actually cares about.
Three standing exclusions, stated before the first call rather than discovered after it.
Mobile apps, SaaS platforms and custom software products are our sibling company's practice, not ours. If that's your build, we say so on the first call and route you to the right team. You still leave with an answer.
We don't sell decks without delivery. Strategy here is the first week of an engagement that ships: an audit with fixes attached, a roadmap the same team then executes. If you only need the thinking, a consultancy is the better buy.
Very small one-off tasks don't get the senior attention this model is built on, so we don't take them. A freelancer marketplace will serve you better and faster at that size, and we'd rather tell you than waste your time.
Each one says where it applies and links to its full terms.
We typically respond within four business hours. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed.
Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm IST, excluding published company holidays. Typical expectations, not guaranteed service levels.
Full termsApplicable development work includes 30 days of corrective maintenance after production launch.
Development engagements only; not marketing services or retainers.
Full termsYour materials remain yours. Bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts.
All engagements.
Full termsKnow who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue.
All engagements. Roles may be combined and vary with your engagement.
Full termsA freelancer can be the right choice for a single, well-defined task. We are set up for work that needs an accountable team: a named coordinator, delivery reviewed by QA and a senior lead before release, and continuity arrangements written into the engagement. Confidentiality, ownership and escalation terms are agreed in writing before work starts.
We quote each engagement in a written proposal, and the initial consultation, standard proposal and straightforward scoping are free. The proposal states the deliverables, exclusions, fees and currency, payment milestones and any third-party costs, so you can compare it line by line with a local quote. You can buy one service or several, and keep the providers you already have.
Before work starts we agree how often you get updates, what the reports cover and who sends them. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. For hourly and retainer work, time is recorded in Workstatus, so you can see the time records behind your invoice.
Cancellation, notice and any renewal terms are written into your proposal or statement of work before you accept it. If an engagement ends early, we hand over completed, paid-for work and list any unfinished work separately. For an eligible specialist trial, you can stop within the trial window and pay nothing for eligible trial hours.
How we handle claims, credentials and your data: group credentials, dated ratings, how case figures are signed off, client permissions and data handling.
As a monthly retainer or a per-project scope, never a bundle you can't inspect. Every proposal itemises what ships each month across the disciplines you've engaged: pages built, content published, campaigns run, fixes deployed. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your written, priced proposal. No retainer is required to start: the website review and the first conversations are free.
No. Most brands start with the discipline that hurts most, usually SEO or a build, and add others only when it helps. The value of a digital marketing and web development company in one team is the option: when the SEO work exposes a site-speed problem, the developer who fixes it is already in the stand-up, not a new vendor you have to find, brief and procure.
A named coordinator who runs your roadmap, plus direct access to the specialists doing the work: you can talk to the actual strategist or developer, not a client-services layer. Before work starts we agree how often you get updates, what the reports cover and who sends them.
An in-house hire is right when you have full-time, permanent work in a single discipline, and we'll tell you if that's your situation. What one team replaces is four hires across four disciplines and their recruiting cycles, measured in months. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed. Senior coverage scales down as easily as up, without carrying four salaries through a quiet quarter.
Yes, and it's common. We can own one discipline while your team owns the rest, plug specialists into your existing roadmap, or run delivery while your in-house lead keeps strategy. The weekly review in Prism goes to whoever owns the outcome. We're comfortable being accountable to an internal marketing lead or CTO. The one thing we ask for is a clear split of ownership on day one. Most vendor friction is two teams believing they own the same decision, and naming it up front costs an hour and saves a quarter.
No retainer is required to start, and an NDA is standard before we see anything sensitive. Ongoing work runs monthly or per-project. Your materials, data and accounts remain yours, and bespoke deliverable rights, licences and handover are agreed before work starts, so off-boarding is a handover call, not a hostage negotiation. If we're not moving the numbers, leaving should be easy. That's on us.
Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your written, itemised proposal. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed. Week one is discovery and access.
Structured and short: the NDA first, then a discovery week (accounts, analytics and codebase audited, baselines recorded, your coordinator and escalation contact named), ending in a roadmap you approve before anything ships. You see the plan before any work begins.
Neither label quite fits. We are one senior team across marketing, development, design and AI, with one named coordinator on one roadmap. Marketing, development and design sit under one roof, not subcontracted behind the scenes. Your materials, data and accounts remain yours. Mobile apps and custom software products are our sibling company's practice, and we say so on the first call.
Tell us what's stuck and get a written, itemised proposal, or start smaller: a senior strategist records five minutes on your website, free, yours to keep either way.
