Trusted by businesses across the United States and beyond
Social Agencies is a web design company based in Portland, Oregon, that hand-codes websites for businesses in the Portland area and across the United States. Our work includes a coworking brand, a plastic surgeon, a plumbing team and a franchise car showroom. Each site is built around the inquiry, hosted in your name and looked after by the same team.
Local
What do Portland businesses need from a website?
Four things we plan for on every site we build for a local business.
-
Found by area, not only by city
The Portland metro stretches across Oregon and into Southwest Washington. Someone in Beaverton searches differently from someone in Gresham or Vancouver, so area pages should match where you really work.
-
Quick on a phone
Most visitors arrive on a phone, often between jobs or on the move. A lean, hand-coded page loads quickly where a heavy theme stalls.
-
More than one way to reach you
Some people call, some fill in a form and some would rather send a text. Every page offers the routes your customers actually use.
-
A team in the same time zone
Social Agencies is based in Portland, so calls, reviews and changes happen during your business day on Pacific time.
Coworking brand
The 925 Coterie: a workspace brand, led by film.
Social Agencies designed and built The 925 Coterie's site around a film of the space, with the inquiry desk in the first screen, so someone choosing where to work sees the room before they ask about it.
What drives the cost
What drives website design cost in Portland?
Two quotes rarely describe the same site, which is why prices vary so widely. These are the lines that move the number.
| What you need | Smaller build | Bigger build |
|---|---|---|
| Pages | A few pages covering the business | A page per service and per area you work in |
| Design | An adapted layout | Designed from scratch around your brand and photos |
| Inquiries | A contact form to one inbox | Form, email and call routes, tracked to the source |
| Content | You supply the copy and photos | Page structure and headings planned with you |
| Connections | None | Bookings, inventory feeds or a CRM connected |
| After launch | Hosting only | Hosting, changes and support from the builders |
Packages or a quote
Should you buy a website package or get a quote?
Packages are easy to compare, and a fixed page count suits a business with a simple offer. The catch is that a package ties the price to the number of pages, not to what the site has to do.
Social Agencies does not sell fixed packages. After a short call we send one fixed, itemized quote, so every line is something your business needs and nothing is padding.
- Every line itemized and explained
- Fixed before any work starts
- Hosting and support terms written in
Medical practice
Dr van der Poel: a trust-led site for a plastic surgeon.
Social Agencies built a polished website for Dr van der Poel, where the design's job is to make a careful, private decision feel safe to start.

Why us
Why choose a Portland web design company?
- 01
Honest area pages
Area pages reflect places you genuinely serve across the metro, not a list of every neighborhood and suburb copied off a map.
- 02
Same time zone, same business day
Being in Portland means your questions are answered during your business hours, and a call is easy to fit in.
- 03
Work you can check
The 925 Coterie, Dr van der Poel and Vics Plumbing are live sites you can open on your phone right now and judge for yourself.
- 04
One team after launch
The people who built the site host it and support it, so a problem goes to someone who already knows the code.

How does working with Social Agencies work?
- 01

Launch and grow
It goes live on accounts in your name, then we host, support and keep improving it every month.

Frequently asked questions
How much does website design cost in Portland?
It depends on the number of pages, whether the design is made from scratch, what the site connects to and who prepares the content. Social Agencies does not publish package prices: we send one fixed, itemized quote after a short call, so you know the full cost before anything starts.
Do you offer website design packages?
No. Packages price by page count, which rarely matches what a site needs to do. Every Social Agencies website is quoted on its own, in writing, before anything starts.
Where is Social Agencies based?
In Portland, Oregon. We work with businesses across the Portland metro and the rest of the United States, by video call and live preview links.
Do you only build websites for Portland businesses?
No. Social Agencies builds for businesses across the United States and further afield. Calls and preview links make distance a small issue.
Will my new website show up in Portland searches?
A new site is built with a page per service, area pages where you genuinely work and headings that match what people type, which is where local ranking starts. Google decides rankings, so we never promise positions. Our SEO service covers the ongoing work.
