We turn ambitious ideas into exceptional digital experiences.
Feeling and functionality. We design and build websites, apps, and brands that don’t just look better, they work better. Smoother for your team to run, and easier for your audience to find, use, and buy from.

Don’t just take our word, take theirs
“We set the bar high for our logo and branding, and the Hotkey Labs team delivered exactly what we wanted and then some. The logo they created for us received great feedback among the YC community, and the work done on our branding and website was incredibly helpful.”
They always completed tasks well ahead of the deadline and were very nice people to work with. Not only highly talented but highly efficient people on this team.
Our expectations were definitely surpassed! We are a growing organization and needed a website redesign with the ability to schedule appointments, and we’ve received positive feedback from many individuals on the transformation.
We’ve worked with Y Combinator startups, small businesses, and large organizations. Here’s why they chose us.
3+
Three people, minimum
At least three people work on your project at all times. More value, more flexibility, no bottlenecks.
In-house, never outsourced
Two senior designers and two senior developers on staff. The people on your call are the people doing the work.
★
Award-winning development
One of our developers was named 2025 Web Developer of the Year at a design and marketing agency with over 15 years in business.
Always in the loop
Your own Slack channel, with progress posted every weekday. No chasing, no “just checking in.”
∞
Revise until it’s right
As many revisions as you’d like within your project’s scope, until you’re satisfied on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
⚡
Speed without shortcuts
Fast turnarounds that never trade away quality. The only shortcuts we take are the ones we build, like the hotkeys on this site.
Team
The people behind the keys.
We’ve worked with dozens of founders, startups, and established organizations. Our team of two senior designers and two senior developers is fully in-house, and every project has at least three people working on it. The people on your intro call are the people designing and building your product.
Feeling and functionality are most important to us. A site should be visually appealing, but it should also work the way you want it to. The next step for your team and customers should be obvious, and that’s the bar for every launch we ship.

Pricing
Pick your shortcut.
Two ways to work with us. Both are scoped with you on a 15 minute intro call, so you know the exact price before any work begins.
↵
Project
Fixed price
A fixed scope, timeline, and price for one clear goal, whether that’s a new brand, a website redesign, an app, or a product launch. Designed and built end to end by one in-house team.
Most fixed-price projects are delivered in 1–3 weeks, though exact timing depends on scope. Monthly retainers are scoped with you individually before any work begins.
Who will actually be working on it? +
At least three people from our in-house team of two senior designers and two senior developers. We don’t outsource.
How do updates and feedback work? +
Every client gets a private Slack channel. We post progress there every weekday, and you can drop feedback whenever it suits you.
How many revisions do I get? +
As many as you’d like within your project’s scope, until you’re satisfied.
What do you build with? +
Websites in Framer, Figma, Next.js, and a few more tools. Apps and platforms with React, React Native, Flutter, Node.js, Python, Rust, Go or Laravel, on MongoDB or SQL, plus AI agents wherever they earn their keep. If you think of it, we can probably build it.
Do you write the copy? +
Yes. Full copywriting is included for every project we work on.
Can I pause or cancel a retainer? +
Yes. Pause or cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice.
Are there any refunds? +
Because every project is custom, deposits and payments for completed work are non-refundable, and retainer payments are non-refundable once work has started in that billing period. Any other refund requests are considered at our discretion. The full policy is in our Terms of Service.
