We do not build websites. Altitude is what we build. Stratos · Web design and digital agency

Most businesses compete on the ground: the same tools, the same crumbs of attention. We work somewhere else. First we look at where you stand — then we build the system that takes you higher.

Start the ascent

II · Ascent 150 – 3,000 m

A website on its own takes you nowhere.

A website is a single component. With no strategy behind it, it does not know who it is speaking to. With no advertising beside it, nobody finds it. With no measurement after it, you never learn what works.

Stratos builds integrated growth systems: one structure from strategy to measurement, with every part of it moving in the same direction.

The long hand covers 1,000 metres per revolution — the same mapping as on a real altimeter.

III · Lower atmosphere 3,000 – 6,000 m

Six areas, one system.

Not six separate services to choose from. One sequence, in which each builds on the one before it.

  1. 3,200 m

    Strategy

    First we decide what is worth building. Everything else follows from that.

  2. 3,800 m

    Design

    Appearance is not decoration. It decides whether you are believed in the first five seconds.

  3. 4,400 m

    Development

    Custom code, measurable speed. Not a template that has to be updated every week.

  4. 5,000 m

    Advertising

    We send traffic where there is already something to receive it.

  5. 5,500 m

    Conversion

    From visitor to enquiry. That is what we measure, and what we improve.

  6. 5,900 m

    Automation

    What repeats should run by itself.

IV · Cloud layer 6,000 – 8,500 m

Down here everything is noisy.

Five agencies say five different things. The advertising carries a different message from the website. The analytics measure something other than what the management sees. This layer is equally dense for everyone.

The noise is not the problem — the problem is that most systems stay inside it. Anyone who wants to get above it has to decide first what to leave behind.

V · Breakthrough 8,500 – 11,000 m

Clarity begins where every one of your digital systems moves in the same direction.

You do not need more tools. Fewer, aligned in one direction.

VI · Our work 11,000 – 17,000 m

Those who climbed with us.

Real clients, with real systems in production. One project is featured here; the rest are on the work page.

Landscaping · 11,800 m

The Rapidkert interactive 3D landscaping website by Stratos Media

Organic search brought in approximately 110 million HUF in quote requests, with no ad spend; on top of that, advertising brought in around 9 million HUF.

~110M HUF Quote requests from organic search

Google Ads and SEO as one system, then a completely rethought website built around an interactive 3D cross-section of a garden and the ground beneath it.

VII · The system 17,000 – 22,000 m

Nine areas, in three layers.

The same thing is visible in the background: concentric layers, not a network. The order is the point, not the fact that there are nine of them.

1 Core

This decides the rest. Without it, every decision below it is guesswork.

  • Research — Market, competitors, search intent. Before we build anything.
  • Strategy — What we say, to whom, and in what order. This decides the rest.

2 Structure

What the strategy defines is built here, and takes its shape here.

  • Branding — The visual language that stays the same on every surface.
  • Website — The centre every channel leads to, and where the decision is made.
  • Development — Custom features, integrations, speed. Not a template, not a pile of plugins.

3 Operation

What only works once the two inner layers are already in place.

  • Advertising — Paid traffic where there is already something to receive it.
  • Analytics — Measurement that produces a decision, not a report.
  • Optimisation — Monthly fine-tuning based on measured data, not on hunches.
  • Automation — What repeats should not be done by a person.

VIII · The process 22,000 – 25,500 m

Seven checkpoints, no guesswork.

At every point you know what is happening, what you get from us, what we expect from you, and what the outcome will be.

  1. 01 Discovery 22,300 m

    What happens
    A conversation about where the business stands, and what is genuinely holding it back.
    What we hand over
    A written assessment, and an honest answer on whether we can help.
    What we ask of you
    Access to your current figures, and time for a thorough conversation.
    Expected outcome
    A shared picture of the starting point — or a straight no.
  2. 02 Research 22,900 m

    What happens
    Competitor and search analysis, and a technical review of the current surfaces.
    What we hand over
    A research summary: demand, competitive position, technical gaps.
    What we ask of you
    Inside knowledge about your customers that the data does not show.
    Expected outcome
    A fact-based foundation for the strategy.
  3. 03 Strategy 23,500 m

    What happens
    We decide the positioning, the messages and the order of the channels.
    What we hand over
    A strategy document with measurable goals and a schedule.
    What we ask of you
    A decision. This is the point where the most depends on you.
    Expected outcome
    A direction every later decision can be measured against.
  4. 04 Design 24,100 m

    What happens
    Branding and interface designs are produced, with real content, not filler text.
    What we hand over
    An approvable design for every important view.
    What we ask of you
    Feedback in one round, collected together.
    Expected outcome
    An approved design that makes it unambiguous what gets built.
  5. 05 Development 24,700 m

    What happens
    We build it. You see it as it goes, not at the end.
    What we hand over
    A working site in a test environment, fitted with measurement.
    What we ask of you
    Content, and the access you hold.
    Expected outcome
    A system ready to go live, not a demo.
  6. 06 Launch 25,100 m

    What happens
    Go-live, redirects, verification of the measurement, starting the advertising.
    What we hand over
    A live system, and handover documentation.
    What we ask of you
    Approval to launch.
    Expected outcome
    The system runs, and measures.
  7. 07 Optimisation 25,400 m

    What happens
    Every month: measure, analyse, adjust. This is not project closure, it is operation.
    What we hand over
    A monthly report, and the list of changes made.
    What we ask of you
    Feedback on what kind of enquiries are coming in.
    Expected outcome
    A system that gets better over time rather than going out of date.

IX · Transition 25,500 – 28,000 m

From here you can see the curvature.

At this altitude eighty per cent of the air is below you. There is less noise, you can see further, and what looked enormous until now falls into proportion.

The same thing happens commercially: once the system works, daily firefighting gives way to deciding where to go next.

X · Stratosphere 28,000 – 30,000 m

Welcome to the stratosphere.

Up here, ambitious businesses no longer compete for attention. They define the category everyone else will compete in.

XI · Target altitude 30,000 m

Are you ready to ascend?

It starts with a conversation. We look at where you stand and tell you honestly whether we can help — including when the answer is no.

Would you rather ask first? Write to us — or answer the short questionnaire, and we will come back with a concrete proposal.

GROUND CONTROL

Web design and development from Győr and Budapest

Stratos is a digital agency: we design and build websites, develop brand identities, and run Google and Meta advertising campaigns. We work in Hungarian, English and German, and the same team carries a project from the first conversation through launch and well past it.

When we say we do not build websites but altitude, we mean that there is always a measurable system behind the visible surface. A website on its own does not bring you customers: the structure, the copy, the search engine optimisation and the advertising have to work together, or even the most beautiful page stays a business card.

Six services, one system

Why a one-off project fee?

Because the website is yours, not a rental. After a free assessment you get an itemised quote for what will be built, how long it takes and what it costs: research, structure, copy, design, development and search engine optimisation. After handover there is no compulsory monthly charge the site depends on — if you want to extend it later or need maintenance, we take that on separately, on request.

How we work

Every project starts with a free consultation, where we look at where your business stands today and which single change would move it furthest. The quote is written from that conversation — we publish no price list, because no two briefs are the same. We do not disappear after launch either: if you extend the site, measure it or continue the SEO, the same team carries it on.

Where we work

Our office is in Győr, and we are happy to meet businesses across Győr-Moson-Sopron county in person. We are in Budapest regularly and meet clients there in person too. We work with clients abroad online, which over the past years has proved no slower at all. If you cannot tell which service you need, write to us: the conversation is free, and you will know more at the end of it either way.

Who we work with

There is no industry we specialise in, and that is deliberate. We have built sites for a landscaping firm, a barbershop, a mental-training practitioner, an industrial supplier and a nonprofit — and the job was the same every time: understand who it is for, what they need to grasp on the first screen, and which single step we are trying to make easier. What our clients actually have in common is not a trade but an attitude: each of them takes their work seriously and is not looking for a website to tick off, but for something that works on their behalf. If you think that way too, you are in the right place, whatever the size of the company.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a website cost?
We publish no price list, because no two briefs are the same. Every website is priced as a one-off, itemised project fee covering design, copywriting, development and search engine optimisation. You get a concrete number after the free consultation, and our blog sets out in detail what drives the price of a website.
How long does it take?
A typical small-business site is four to six weeks from signature to launch, if the content is ready on time. The usual delay is not development but the copy and the photography — which is why we help with both.
Do you use WordPress or a similar system?
No. Every site we build is developed from scratch, so there is no template, no plugin jungle and no monthly security update someone has to remember to run. In return it is faster, safer, and does exactly what it needs to.
Can I edit the content myself?
Yes, where that makes sense. You get access to the parts that need regular updating — prices, opening hours, news, references. What rarely changes, we change for you on request.
Do you only work in Győr and Budapest?
No, those are only the places we can meet in person. Some of our clients are elsewhere in Hungary, and we work for Austrian and German companies too — in Hungarian, English and German. Working online has proved no slower than meeting in person.
What happens if I am not happy?
The work moves in stages, and you approve each one — the demo, the copy, the finished site. Whatever is not right gets fixed before handover. The site, the domain and the content are yours; we hold nothing hostage.
