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.

Yes, with Extra Speed. Your project goes first: design and build move at once, with full focus on your work until it ships. It adds 50% to the price, and the scope and the standard stay exactly the same. It is the switch under the services, and a line in the brief.

Do you use AI to build these?

In code, yes: an agent writes the first pass. That is the how, not the what. What an agent hands back is generic, and taking it past generic is the work you are paying for: the positioning, the type, the motion, the hundred decisions it has no opinion about. I built midcode to do exactly that part, and antiquewoodsla.com is what one looks like finished.

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 code. Working 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 $2,500 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.

Agustin and his girlfriend in front of a lit Christmas tree

A Framer t-shirt, a sheet of stickers and a cup, laid out on a table

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

I design in Figma and build in Framer or Code. 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.

Once or twice a year I go down to Tierra del Fuego, where my girlfriend is from, and stay a while. I see mountains as a mindset: progress through patience, discipline, and effort. 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.

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.

I personally read and reply to every message, usually the same day.
