What does DIXI build?

Three things: marketing websites in Webflow, Framer or Astro; product front-ends and web apps in React and Next.js, with Node.js behind them; and cross-platform apps in React Native. The same team builds Shopify stores. Every build ships with technical SEO, analytics and Core Web Vitals checked before launch, and the code, CMS and accounts are yours.

Why one team

Why does it matter who builds the site you designed?

Because most of what goes wrong happens between the mockup and the live page. When one agency designs and another builds, details get lost, pages ship heavy, marketing can’t edit without a ticket, and rankings slip during the move. HTTP Archive’s 2025 Web Almanac found only 54% of sites reach a “good” Largest Contentful Paint: the platform helps, the build decides.

  1. Handoff

    Lost between Figma and code

    Spacing, states and motion get “approximated” by a builder who wasn’t in the design reviews.

    Instead: the designers who drew it review every build, component by component.

  2. Speed

    Heavy on phones

    Uncompressed images, unused scripts and five tracking tags make the page slow where most visits happen.

    Instead: a launch spec with Google’s thresholds, tested on staging.

  3. Editing

    Every edit is a ticket

    A site marketing can’t change ends up frozen, or patched by whoever has access.

    Instead: the platform chosen by who edits it, and a CMS your team is shown how to use.

  4. Search

    Rankings lost in the move

    Old URLs vanish, titles reset and backlinks land on 404s the week the new site goes live.

    Instead: every old URL mapped, redirected and checked after launch.

LCP figure from the HTTP Archive, Web Almanac 2025 CMS chapter (published January 2026); it covers all sites in the HTTP Archive crawl. Checked 1 November 2026.

Launch spec

What ships with every site we build?

Every site we launch is checked against the same list: Google’s Core Web Vitals thresholds on mobile, accessibility basics, structured data, a redirect for every old URL, analytics and Search Console, and a CMS your team has been shown how to use. The table lists each check, the target and where the target comes from.

Our own site passes the list first

We moved dixi.agency from Framer to Astro in October 2026 and hold it to the same launch spec as client sites. Nothing on the page is there for us alone: the booking form you can use, the analytics we read and the pages you are scrolling now.

What have we built, and how does it perform?

Our own site is the easiest to check: dixi.agency runs on Astro and Cloudflare Workers and scored 95 on mobile and 99 on desktop PageSpeed on 29 October 2026. For clients, we designed and built EW, a workflow SaaS that reached $50K MRR in six months, and a Webflow site that lifted demo bookings 18%.

Process

How does a build run, from Figma to launch?

In five steps: we plan the content model, CMS structure and URL map; build in reusable components on a staging link you can open any time; test on real devices for speed, accessibility and SEO; launch with redirects, Search Console and analytics live; then hand over the code, CMS and accounts, with support from $1k a month.

  1. 01

    Plan the build

    Content model, CMS collections, integrations and the map of every URL, old and new.

    You get: the content model and the URL map
  2. 02

    Build in components

    Pages assembled from reusable sections on a staging link you can open and share any time.

    You get: a staging link and the component library
  3. 03

    Test on real devices

    Speed, accessibility, SEO, forms and tracking, checked against the launch spec.

    You get: a QA report against the spec
  4. 04

    Launch

    Redirects live, sitemap submitted, Search Console and analytics on; the old site stays until the new one is verified.

    You get: the launch checklist, signed off
  5. 05

    Hand over

    Code, CMS and accounts in your name, and a session showing your team how to edit.

    You get: everything you need to run it without us

A website or product project usually runs 6–10 weeks, design included; the written plan confirms the weeks for yours.

Platforms

Webflow, Framer, Astro or Next.js: which will you build ours in?

Webflow, Framer or Astro for marketing sites, Shopify for stores, and React with Next.js for anything with a login. We choose by who edits the site every week, how much speed and search matter, and how the site will grow, and we recommend one after the first call. Answer four questions for our starting point.

Who edits the site every week?
Do you sell products online?
Is there a login, a dashboard or user data?
What matters most?
Our starting point for you

Webflow

A visual CMS your marketing team runs on its own: new pages, case studies and posts without a developer ticket.

Publishing every week is what Webflow’s CMS is for: collections for posts, case studies and landing pages.Need it live in weeks? Framer launches faster; Webflow pays off once marketing publishes every week.Speed first? Webflow sites pass Core Web Vitals about as often as Astro sites (71.3% vs 71.1% on mobile, HTTP Archive). The build decides.

Trade-off
Seat and localization costs grow with the team; complex logic needs custom code.
Proof
An AI outbound platform: +18% demo bookings after the Webflow site we designed and built.
You pay the platform
From $15 a month per site, $25 with the CMS, plus $39 a month per full editor seat (billed yearly).
Our starting point for you

Framer

The fastest way from design to a live marketing site, with a simple CMS and motion built in.

Publishing a lot? Framer’s CMS handles a blog and case studies well; deep collections and filters are easier in Webflow.Launching in weeks is where Framer is strongest.

Trade-off
A simpler CMS than Webflow’s; less suited to complex integrations; editors are paid per seat.
Proof
Our own site ran on Framer until October 2026, so we know where it fits and when teams outgrow it.
You pay the platform
$10–30 a month per site, plus $20 a month per editor ($10 for content-only editors), billed yearly.
Our starting point for you

Astro

Static pages with only the JavaScript each page needs, so pages load fast and search and AI crawlers read every word.

Publishing every week? Editors work in a headless CMS; we set it up and show your team how to use it.Astro launches as fast as the content is ready; later layout changes need a developer.Speed and search first is what Astro is built for.

Trade-off
Content lives in a headless CMS; layout changes need a developer.
Proof
dixi.agency since October 2026: PageSpeed 95 on mobile and 99 on desktop.
You pay the platform
The framework is free. Hosting on Cloudflare Workers starts on a free plan and $5 a month on the paid one, plus a CMS if you use one.
Our starting point for you

React and Next.js

A login, a dashboard or data that changes per user makes it a product, and a product needs real code.

For the marketing site next to it: Webflow, so marketing edits without tickets.Framer, to launch in weeks.Astro, built in the same repository.

Trade-off
The most flexible option, and every change needs a developer.
Proof
EW, a workflow SaaS we designed and built in React and Next.js: $50K MRR in 6 months.
You pay the platform
The framework is free. Vercel Pro is $20 a month with one deploying seat and usage credit; Cloudflare or a Node host also work.
Our starting point for you

Shopify

You sell products online: checkout, subscriptions and the app stack DTC brands rely on, managed in the Shopify admin.

Trade-off
Theme and checkout rules; app costs add up month after month.
Proof
Spartan: +30% gross sales after the relaunch on a custom Shopify theme we designed and built.
You pay the platform
A Shopify plan plus apps. Our Shopify page breaks down what a store costs to run.

A starting point, not a verdict: we confirm the platform after the first call. Platform prices from each vendor’s pricing page, checked 1 November 2026; Core Web Vitals shares from the HTTP Archive Technology Report as quoted on our tech stack page.

Webflow development

Best when marketing publishes every week and wants a visual CMS. CMS collections, localization and integrations with your CRM and analytics.

Framer development

Best when a design-led site has to launch in weeks. Motion and a simple CMS built in; we tell you when you will outgrow it.

Astro development

Best when speed and search come first. Static pages, a headless CMS for editors, hosting on Cloudflare; our own site runs on it.

Next.js and React development

Best when it is a product, not a brochure: logins, dashboards, data per user. EW was built this way.

The trade-offs in full, with real-site performance data, are on our tech stack page.

Migration

Can you move our site to a new platform without losing rankings?

Yes. We moved our own site from Framer to Astro in October 2026 and use the same checklist for clients: every old URL kept or redirected with a 301, titles, descriptions and structured data carried over, sitemaps resubmitted, and Search Console watched for crawl errors after launch. Nothing is switched off until the new site is verified.

  • Titles and descriptions carried over
  • Structured data validated
  • Canonicals rebuilt
  • Internal links point to final URLs
  • Sitemap resubmitted
  • Search Console watched after launch

Example data: a 12-page SaaS site moving from WordPress to Webflow, not a client’s map. Every page with traffic or links keeps its URL or gets one 301 to its closest match; nothing is retired without a reason.

What movesWhat we doWhy it matters
URL inventoryCrawl the old site and export top pages from Search Console and analyticsNothing with traffic or links is forgotten
URL mapEach old URL keeps its address, gets one 301 to its new one, or is retired with a reasonRankings and backlinks follow the content
Titles, descriptions, H1sCarried over, or improved on purpose and notedNo accidental ranking drops
Structured dataRebuilt and validated on the new templatesRich results and machine-readable facts survive
Canonicals and hreflangRebuilt for the new URLsNo duplicate or conflicting signals
Internal linksUpdated to final URLs, so no link goes through a redirectCrawlers spend time on pages, not hops
Media and filesRe-hosted; old file URLs redirectedPDFs and images often carry links too
Forms and integrationsReconnected and tested end to endLeads don’t silently stop arriving
LaunchSitemap resubmitted; the old site kept until the new one is verifiedFast re-crawl and an easy rollback
After launchCoverage, 404s and rankings checked in Search Console; redirects left onProblems caught before they cost traffic

Your engineers

Can you build alongside our engineers?

Yes, in whichever split suits your team. We can build everything, build the marketing site while your engineers build the product from our components, or design only and review your team’s build against the designs. ComboCurve and HCM International worked the last way; EW had us design and build the platform from scratch.

Formats and price

What does it cost, and what happens after launch?

Four ways to start. A website project starts at $12k, a web app or MVP at $25k and a site migration at $6k. After launch, a support subscription from $1k a month covers fixes, updates and small improvements, handled by the people who built it. Either way, the code, CMS and accounts stay yours.

Fit

When are we the wrong team to build it?

When the job is mostly engineering capacity rather than design and build together. We are a team of seven that designs and builds websites, product front-ends and apps; we are not a staff-augmentation shop, a WordPress agency or the cheapest hourly rate for a fixed spec.

A good fit

  • SaaS, AI and fintech teams that want design and build in one team
  • Marketing sites that must be fast and editable by marketing
  • MVP and product front-ends in React and Next.js
  • Apps where the flows are the value
  • Moves from Framer, Webflow or WordPress that must keep rankings

The wrong team

  • A WordPress, WooCommerce or HubSpot CMS build, specifically
  • A large back-end or data platform with no front-end
  • Five or more developers joining your team on staff augmentation
  • The lowest hourly rate for a fixed spec

Built your MVP with Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Cursor? The fixed-price AI MVP audit tells you what to keep and what to rebuild.

FAQ

Web development questions

Updated 1 November 2026

Still unsure? Book a discovery call

Can you build from our Figma files, or only sites you designed?

Mostly we build what we design, so nothing gets lost between the mockup and the live page. We look at outside Figma files case by case: if the components, states and responsive layouts are there, we can build from them; if they are not, we tell you what is missing before we quote.

Which platforms and frameworks do you build in?

Webflow, Framer, Astro and Shopify for websites; React and Next.js with Node.js for web apps; React Native for cross-platform apps, and Swift or Kotlin when an app has to be native. Supabase or Firebase back new products, and Cloudflare hosts. Our tech stack page explains how we choose.

How much does web development cost with DIXI?

A website project, designed and built, starts at $12k (6–10 weeks); a web app or MVP in React and Next.js at $25k (8–14 weeks); a site migration at $6k (3–5 weeks). Support after launch starts at $1k a month. Every price is fixed in a written plan after a 25-minute call; what changes it is on our pricing page.

Will our new site pass Core Web Vitals?

We test LCP, INP and CLS against Google’s thresholds on the staging site before launch, then watch field data in Search Console, which needs about 28 days of real visits. Our own site scored 95 on mobile and 99 on desktop PageSpeed on 29 October 2026.

Can you take over a site another agency built?

Yes, for Webflow, Framer, Shopify and Astro sites. We start with an audit of the build, the accounts and who has access, then tell you what to keep, what to fix and what to rebuild before we quote support or new work.

Can you work in our repository with our engineers?

Yes. We work in your Git repository through pull requests your engineers review, and hand over components and tokens they can reuse. The table in “Can you build alongside our engineers?” above shows the three ways to split the work.

Do you build web apps and dashboards, not just marketing sites?

Yes, in React and Next.js with Node.js behind them. EW, a workflow SaaS we designed and built from scratch, reached $50K MRR in six months. For the product side of that work, see SaaS product design.

Can the app and the website be built in the same project?

Yes, by one team on one design system: the website in Webflow, Framer or Astro, the app in React Native for iOS and Android, as with Mediator, our own app. When an app has to be native, we work in Swift and Kotlin.

How long does a move to a new platform take?

It depends on page count, content and integrations more than on the platform. The URL inventory and redirect map come first, and the old site stays live until the new one is verified. Google recommends keeping redirects in place for at least a year, so we leave them on.

What does support after launch include?

Fixes, platform updates, small improvements and help with content, handled by the people who built the site, from $1k a month, billed monthly. New pages, experiments and product work every month fit the design partner format from $6k a month.
