RS-03 - Elevation
A strong online presence, built to order.
60 art-directed website themes. Every one is production-built as a live working page, not a mockup - open any of them and you are looking at the real thing. Pick the one that fits your business and we rebuild it around your name, your words and your work.
A US or Canadian agency quotes five figures for this standard of build. The design here already exists, so you are paying for the rebuild around your content rather than for a design invented from nothing - which is why the number is lower. Tell us which theme and we will quote it.
How pricing works
Quoted per theme
A theme's price is set by what it actually contains - the rendering technique behind it and the sector it is built for - not by how much we think you will pay. Flagship builds carry the real-time 3D work and cost more than standard ones. Tell us the theme and you get a fixed number, not a range.
Why it costs this little
The design already exists. Every theme in this catalogue is a finished, production-built website, not a concept - open any of them and you are looking at the real thing. You are paying for it to be rebuilt around your business, not for a design to be invented from nothing. That is the whole reason the number is a fraction of an agency quote.
In every build
The full theme rebuilt around your business. Responsive down to a 375px phone, an accessibility pass, performance tuning, self-hosted fonts so the page makes no third-party requests, SEO fundamentals, and a handover you own outright - source code included.
Quoted separately
Copywriting, photography and illustration, plus your domain and hosting. We will tell you which of those you genuinely need and which you can skip for now.
How the number is fixed
After one call about what the site has to do, you get a fixed written quote in USD for a complete site on that theme. No hourly billing, and no change-order invoice for work that was always implied.
Standard
Editorial, interface, canvas and SVG craft. The design is finished and proven, so you are paying for the rebuild around your content rather than for a design invented from scratch.
55 themes
Flagship
Real-time 3D and simulation. Performance budgets, device fallbacks and asset work are a genuine engineering cost here, and the price reflects that rather than hiding it in a change order.

Before the call
How much does a custom website cost with Raysho?
A complete website built on an Elevation theme is quoted per build, because the design already exists and you are paying for the rebuild around your content rather than for a design invented from nothing. Tell us the theme reference code and one line about what the site has to do, and you get a fixed written quote before any work starts - no hourly billing. A comparable custom build quoted by a US or Canadian agency in 2026 typically runs five figures.
Why is a Raysho website so much cheaper than a US or Canadian agency?
Two reasons, and both are structural rather than a discount. First, the design already exists: every Elevation theme is a finished, production-built website, so you are paying for it to be rebuilt around your content rather than for a design to be invented from nothing. Most of what an agency bills for is that invention. Second, Raysho builds from India, so the delivered cost of the same standard of work is materially lower. The scope is not cut - every build still includes responsive layout down to a 375px phone, an accessibility pass, performance tuning and full source-code handover.
Are these website themes templates?
No. Every Elevation theme is a complete website that was designed and built from scratch for one specific kind of business, then published as a live working page. Nothing is assembled from a page builder or a purchased template. When you pick a theme, the site is rebuilt around your content on that design system rather than having your logo dropped into a generic layout.
How long does a website take to build?
A complete site takes about four weeks from the day content is settled, and a simple one can be finished in two. The largest variable is not the build - it is how quickly final copy and images arrive, which is why the quote states what is needed from you and by when.
What is included in the price of a website?
Every build includes the full theme rebuilt around your business, responsive design down to a 375px phone, an accessibility pass, performance tuning, self-hosted fonts so the page makes no third-party requests, SEO fundamentals, and a handover you own outright with the source code included. Copywriting, photography, illustration, domain registration and hosting are quoted separately.
Why do some Elevation themes cost more than others?
Five themes sit above the standard band: they are the real-time 3D builds, where the page runs a live WebGL scene rather than styled HTML. Those carry costs the others do not - a performance budget across low-end devices, a non-WebGL fallback that still has to look designed, and geometry and shader work that cannot be reused between projects. Every other theme sits in the standard band.
Do I own the website and its code?
Yes. The source code is handed over and it is yours. There is no proprietary platform to stay subscribed to, no licence that expires, and no clause that requires Raysho to make future changes. You can host it anywhere and hire anyone to maintain it.
Can Raysho build a website for a business outside the listed industries?
Yes. The catalogue is organised into eight industry categories because that is how most people search for a design, not because the list is a limit. If nothing in the catalogue fits, an original theme can be designed for your brand and quoted before any work starts.
How does a website project start?
It starts with one call. You describe what the site has to do and which theme reference code you liked, and you get a fixed written quote before any work begins. There is no form, no discovery questionnaire and no hourly billing - the number in the quote is the number you pay unless you ask for something that was not in it.
What does the theme reference code mean?
Every theme has a permanent identifier in the format EL-nn, such as EL-01 or EL-42. The code is stable and the link never moves, so you can send it to a colleague, quote it back months later, or use it as the single point of reference in a brief. Each code also maps to a full design specification held privately behind an access key.
Will the website be search-engine optimised?
SEO fundamentals are included in every build: semantic HTML structure, per-page titles and meta descriptions, clean crawlable URLs, a sitemap, structured data where it applies, and performance tuning, since load speed is itself a ranking factor. Ongoing content strategy, keyword research and link building are separate work and are quoted as such rather than implied.
