Framer or custom code?

Framer when you want it fast and editable by you, which covers most marketing sites. Code when there is real application logic, an unusual integration, or performance a visual tool will not reach. I tell you which one before you pay, including when the cheaper answer is the right one.

You work alone. What if you are unavailable?

Everything lands in your own account and your own repository. No proprietary layer, nothing to unlock. On bigger projects I bring in people I have worked with for years, and you are told who is doing what.

Can you work with my design team?

Often the best case. You have a design lead, I build. You have engineers and no design lead, I design.

What happens after launch?

Thirty days of fixes, included. Then you take it from there, or keep a monthly slot.

What does Akila Studio do?

Websites and web products, designed and built by one person: Agustin Dell’Aquila, from Buenos Aires. Design in Figma, built in Framer or in Next.js. 47 clients across 12 countries since 2022.

What does a website cost?

A full build starts at $3,200 in Framer and $5,000 in code. Development from your design starts at $1,900 in Framer and $3,000 in code. Design on its own is scoped per project. You get the number before the work starts, not after.

Where are you, and do you work remotely?

Buenos Aires, Argentina, and everything is remote. Most clients are in the United States and Europe. I keep hours that overlap yours and I answer the same day.

Q: How long does a project take?

Full build, 10 to 25 days. Development only, a week or two. I run few projects at once, so the date I give is a date I can hold.

Everything from the first decision to the day it goes live, handled. Most sites are live in 10 to 25 days.

ABOUT ::: ACU

Agustin Dell’Aquila

Designer and developer. Buenos Aires.

Hey, I’m Agustin. I have been designing and building websites on my own from Buenos Aires for four years. That is 47 clients in 12 countries, with no employees and no account manager in between. You write to me, and I am the one who writes back.

I design inFigmaand build inFramerorNext.js.Which one is a decision about your project and not about me, and I will say so when the cheaper answer is the right one.

Buenos Aires is flat, so once or twice a year I go down to Tierra del Fuego Tierra del Fuego, where my girlfriend is from, and stay a while. I see mountains as a mindset: progress through patience, discipline, and effort. That is how I work. It is why I take few projects at once. Not to go slower, but so the one I am on gets all of it.

2026

Shipped ThisDay: a day, held in one place. Designed, built and put on the App Store on my own.

Ongoing development for , gaming infrastructure behind $2B of funding and 700+ studios.

Hosted the first Framer event in Argentina in July, and I believe the first in Latin America.

In July I met the team at their offices in person, three years after the work started coming through them.

47 clients across 12 countries, four years in.

2025

Recognised as an official Framer Expert in January.

Featured on Contra in March, and by September 200+ discovery points there put me in the top 1% of creatives on the platform, globally.

In December Framer followed me, along with both founders and much of the team, for being the first to submit a #FramerChallenge video.

Designed and built Parkour: a studio that did not want a website, so it became a top-down world you move around instead.

2024

Started Framer ES in October, so the community had somewhere to read the tool in its own language.

Started the YouTube channel, longer takes on how a site gets designed and shipped.

9 countries on the client list by August.

2023

Put the practice on Contra, which is where most of the work has been hired since.

Working hard ::: on Akila foundations and systems.

2022

Founded ::: now Akila Studio ::: in October, and started taking client work on my own from Buenos Aires. No employees, no account manager, and it has stayed that way.

VENTURES ::: HOBBIES

I build my own products too.

Nobody commissioned these. They shipped anyway.
