Why £249.99?
We keep overheads low, work directly with clients, and don't employ account managers. That's how we can offer genuinely custom websites from £249.99.
Low overheads
No flashy office, no full-time sales team. Just a focused studio that keeps costs sensible.

You talk to the person designing and coding your site. No back-and-forth through layers of staff.
No account managers
No one charging you for meetings you never needed. You only pay for the work that actually ships.

/ Why we exist & who we are
We started RIOT because average is a choice.
I started RIOT after watching too many businesses pay agency prices for websites that looked fine but never actually moved the needle. So I built a studio that does the opposite: small, direct, affordable — and obsessively focused on results.
When you brief RIOT, you work with me directly. No account managers, no unnecessary meetings, no bloated fees — just the person designing and coding your site.
- No confusing jargon.
- No unnecessary upsells.
- No bloated agency fees.
