Why Orca?

One team, accountable end to end

Most businesses end up with a brand designer, a web developer, and an SEO agency who have never spoken. When something goes wrong, and something always goes wrong, each one explains why it is one of the others. You become the project manager for three companies you are paying.

Here, strategy, copy, design, and development sit in one room. The person writing the copy knows the design constraints. The developer knows the SEO plan. If something breaks, one team owns it and there is nobody to point at.

You own everything, and we mean everything

Source files, working files, code repository, domain, hosting account, analytics, and full copyright. All registered in your name, under your billing, from day one. When a project finishes we hand over a document with every credential on it.

This sounds like table stakes and it is genuinely rare. A significant share of the businesses that call us are calling because they cannot get their own logo file back from a previous agency. We think that practice is indefensible and we structure around never doing it.

We will tell you not to spend money

If you call about a rebrand and the actual problem is your pricing page, we will say that. If you want an app and a responsive site would serve your customers better for a fifth of the cost, we will say that too, and we have lost real revenue saying it.

The reason is not virtue. It is that a client who spends ten thousand on the right thing comes back for years, and a client who spends fifty thousand on the wrong thing never returns and tells people why.

Fixed price, fixed scope, no creep

You get one number before work starts, and a written list of what is included and what is not. The exclusions matter more than the inclusions, because that is where surprise invoices come from. If you ask for something new mid project, we quote it before doing it and you decide.

We have been here since 2013

Agency lifespan matters more than most buyers realize. Yours is the third or fourth agency for a lot of businesses, and the previous ones did not fail because they were bad. They dissolved, got acquired, or the one talented person left. Then nobody has your files and nobody remembers why anything was built the way it was.

When you should not hire us

If price is the only thing that matters, there is always someone cheaper and you should hire them. If you need work started tomorrow, we usually cannot, because we run a limited number of projects at once. If you want an agency that agrees with everything, we will frustrate you by the second week.
