ROOKS — web development studio for design studios and businesses

ROOKS is a web development studio of four engineers led by founder Dmytro Hrachov. We build websites, e-commerce and web products for design studios, agencies and businesses — from the designed interface and animation to the CMS, back end and integrations. Most projects are fixed price, and the people you talk to are the engineers who write the code.

Yes, building from an existing design is our core work. We take your layouts from Figma or another tool, go through them with your designer in a design review, and agree on responsive behaviour and motion before development starts. The aim is to keep the idea intact and make it work on every screen. Your designer stays involved, and you see progress in working demos.

The price depends on scope: the number of page templates, animation and 3D, the CMS, e-commerce and integrations. Most projects are fixed price. After Discovery you get a clear scope, an estimate and a timeline before development starts. Budgets in our project form range from under $5k to $40k+. If you are not sure yet, choose “Not sure yet” and we will help you define the scope.

Most projects take 4 to 13 weeks. For reference: the NOAR and OneZero studio sites with 3D and scroll animation took 4 weeks, the Molfar Institute rebuild with data migration took 11 weeks, and the Serotoninn online store and the Manava web product took 13 weeks. You get a timeline after Discovery, and we flag anything that could move the dates while the scope is still taking shape.

Yes. Design studios and agencies are who we build for first: you design, we develop. We work directly with your designer or team, with no account managers in between, and Dmytro Hrachov is your single point of contact from brief to launch. Examples include the sites for NOAR, a brand studio, and OneZero, a Web3 product studio. See the For agencies page for details.

For interfaces we use React, Next.js, TypeScript and Vite, with GSAP and Three.js for animation and 3D. For content and commerce we use WordPress, Payload CMS, Directus and Shopify Hydrogen, and Node.js with APIs and integrations on the back end. We choose the CMS by who will edit the site and how: WordPress for familiar editing and e-commerce, Payload CMS or Directus for custom content structures, Shopify Hydrogen for headless Shopify stores.

We prepare the content for launch, hand over the site with a guide for your team and include the first month of support. Before handover, every site is tested on real devices and browsers, so your team’s review starts with fewer avoidable fixes. Further work after the project — improvements, new features or ongoing support — is available on a paid basis, on terms we agree together.

Send your project details through the form below or write to hello@rooks.team: what you need to build, where the design stands and what matters for launch. Dmytro Hrachov replies personally within 1–3 business days. On the first call we discuss the technical scope and whether we are a good fit. If we are, Discovery gives you a clear scope, an estimate and a timeline.
