The web design industry has been dominated for years by the same old model: bloated agencies, outdated systems, and smoke-and-mirror pricing. Many businesses don’t realise how much this hurts them — until they experience a different way of working.

That’s where Lune Studio comes in. We’re a lean, founder-led studio built for today’s service businesses, not yesterday’s agency playbook. Here’s how we’re different.
‍

1. Dependency vs. Independence

Traditional agencies build websites that keep you dependent. Want to change a headline? Add a new page? You’ll need to submit a ticket, wait days, and then pay for the privilege.
‍
At Lune Studio, we design sites to be self-sustaining. Every build comes with a fully intuitive editor, so you and your team can make changes on your own. No gatekeeping, no dependency.
‍

2. Hosting & Maintenance Games

Traditional agencies often tie clients into ongoing retainers, confusing hosting packages, and unnecessary “support” fees. It’s a steady revenue stream for them — but a drain on your cashflow.
‍
At Lune Studio, hosting is simple and transparent. We throw in the first year free, and we don’t pad invoices with hidden charges. Updates? You only pay for what you use — tracked to the minute.

‍

3. Update Costs

Traditional agencies will often quote half-day or full-day rates for even the smallest change. That means you’re overpaying for 30 minutes of work just to meet their minimum charge.
‍
At Lune Studio, updates are billed at £1 per minute. No rounding up, no bloated retainers — just an honest, transparent breakdown of the actual work done.
‍

4. Speed of Delivery

Traditional agencies move slowly. Between handovers, account managers, internal processes, and outdated systems, websites can take months (sometimes half a year) to launch.
‍
At Lune Studio, we use the latest tech stack and a lean setup to move fast. Most projects take days or weeks, not months — without sacrificing quality.
‍

5. Overheads vs. Client-First

Traditional agencies have offices, layers of staff, and high overheads. Their pricing has to cover “keeping the lights on,” not just delivering value.
‍
At Lune Studio, we’re remote, lean, and agile. That means we can put your cashflow first — not our rent. You’re paying for expertise, not overheads.
‍

A Breath of Fresh Air in a Stale Industry

The old agency model was built for another era. In 2025, businesses deserve more: speed, transparency, and websites that actually work for them.

That’s why we built Lune Studio. No smoke, no mirrors — just clean, modern websites delivered with honesty, speed, and control.
