The studio
Twelve people, one time zone, zero hand-offs.
ELLOR is a small, senior team based in Los Angeles working with clients everywhere. Every project has a strategist, a designer, and an engineer on it from day one.

We started ELLOR because too many good projects were dying in the gap between the agency that designed them and the freelancer who was supposed to build them. Keeping strategy, design, and engineering under one roof means fewer things get lost in translation — and someone is always accountable for the whole outcome, not just their slice of it.
We work with a deliberately small client list at any given time, because the alternative — spreading a senior team across too many logos — is how agencies quietly turn into the thing their clients hired them to avoid.
What we optimize for
Senior people, not a bench
Everyone who scopes your project also works on it. No proposal-team-to-delivery-team switch after the contract is signed.
Say the honest thing
If a request doesn't need what you think it needs, we'll tell you before we quote it, not after we've billed for it.
Ship, then measure
A launch is a checkpoint, not a finish line. We check back in at 30/60/90 days against the goals we agreed on at kickoff.
Document everything
Guidelines, code comments, and handoff docs written so your team can run without us — that's the actual definition of done.
