We help companies digitize their businesses.
SudoX is a digital technology company. We design and build websites, web apps and custom platforms. Then drive the traffic, leads and customer support that keep them growing. Nine years of shipped work, one accountable team.
Nine services. One team that owns the outcome.
Most agencies hand you a website and disappear. We stay for the traffic, the leads and the customer conversations that follow. Each service has its own detailed page below.
Websites and platforms we’ve shipped.
A live, always-scrolling showcase of real client work, every card links to the site. Hover to pause the reel.
A process built to remove surprises.
A technology partner, not a vendor.

- One partner, whole stack. Design, build, ads, SEO and support under one roof.
- Enterprise-ready. Delivered for Fortune 500 and national brands alongside startups and SMBs.
- Post-launch ownership. 24/7 support and ongoing optimization, not a handoff email.

A one-stop shop for your technology needs.
Since 2017 we’ve been helping companies digitize their businesses: web development, digital marketing, customer support and more. Startups, small businesses and large enterprises alike.
Empower businesses of every size with technology that actually fits.
Our mission is to deliver innovative, cost-effective and tailored technology solutions. We work to understand each client’s unique needs, deliver exceptional quality and provide genuinely responsive customer support: ensuring sustainable growth and digital success for every partner we serve.
Nine years, one direction.
SudoX started in 2017 doing what most small studios do, building websites. What changed is what happened after launch. Clients kept coming back with the next problem: the site needs traffic, the ads need managing, the inbox needs answering, the spreadsheet needs to become an application.
So we built the capability instead of referring it out. Today SudoX spans design, engineering, paid media, SEO and outsourced support. Delivered by one team that stays accountable for the result rather than the deliverable.
That work now spans enterprise and national brands, including a global medical technology manufacturer, three major North American construction firms, AlphaGraphics and IGK Hair, alongside booking platforms, lead-routing systems and local service businesses that need to win their own market.
Our principles.
- Understand before proposing. We scope from your actual constraints, not a package sheet.
- Custom over cookie-cutter. Scalable, secure, tailored to your requirements.
- Faster time-to-market. Efficient processes keep your website or application launching on time.
- Cost-effective by design. High-quality delivery that fits a real budget.
- Support that doesn’t end. 24/7 coverage and post-launch optimization.
- Plain-language communication. No jargon walls, no surprise invoices.

No obligation scoping call. We’ll tell you what the work actually requires. Including when a smaller engagement is the right answer.
Quick answers.
Do you work with businesses outside the US?
Yes. We’re based in Austin, Texas and deliver for clients worldwide. We work to the data protection standards of the markets we operate in, including the GDPR for clients in the EU and the UK GDPR for clients in Britain, and we host each engagement in the region that suits the client.
What size of company do you work with?
Startups, small businesses and large enterprises. Our delivery model scales to the engagement rather than the other way around.
Can you take over an existing website or campaign?
Yes. Revamps, migrations and inherited ad accounts are routine. We audit first, then tell you what’s worth keeping.
How do engagements usually start?
A free consultation, then a written scope with deliverables, timeline and cost before any commitment.
Clear scope. Written cost. No surprises.
We don’t publish a single price for custom work, it would be a guess. What we do publish is how we price, what drives cost up or down, and honest starting points so you can budget before you ever get on a call. Websites start from $500 and retainers from $800 a month, with outsourcing quoted per engagement.
Three ways to work with us.
Most clients start with a project, then move to a retainer once the build is live and needs feeding.
Fixed-Scope Project
Best for websites, revamps, migrations and defined builds where we can scope the work precisely up front.
- Written scope and fixed price before start, cost scales with project scope
- Milestone-based payment schedule
- Design, build, QA and launch included
- 30 days post-launch support
Monthly Retainer
Best for ads management, SEO, social media and support. Work that compounds and needs consistent attention.
- Dedicated hours each month, agreed in advance
- Monthly reporting in plain language
- Priority response on requests
- Scale up or pause between months
Technical Partner
Best for custom web applications, enterprise platforms, and customer support or call center outsourcing engagements.
- Discovery and architecture blueprint first
- Staged delivery with milestone releases
- Named team with continuity across phases
- Support and call center outsourcing scoped per engagement
- 24/7 coverage and rolling roadmap
Starting prices are indicative entry points for scoping conversations, not quotations. Final cost always depends on project scope. Customer support and call center outsourcing are quoted per engagement, so please contact us for pricing. Ad spend is billed directly by Meta and Google to your own accounts and sits outside our fees.
What each service typically costs.
Real numbers to budget against. Final pricing always follows a written scope.
| Service | Typical range | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|
| Website Design & Development | From $500 | Page count, custom design depth, integrations, content readiness, e-commerce complexity. Final cost depends entirely on project scope. |
| Website Revamp / Migration | From $500 | Size of existing site, platform change, redirect mapping, how much content is rewritten. |
| Web App Development | Scope-based | Number of user roles, workflow complexity, integrations, reporting depth. Quoted after discovery. |
| Custom Web Application | Scope-based | Architecture requirements, compliance obligations, scale targets, phase count. Quoted after discovery. |
| Meta & Google Ads Management | From $800/mo | Number of channels and campaigns, creative volume, spend under management. |
| Local SEO | From $800/mo | Market competitiveness, number of locations, citation cleanup volume, content cadence. |
| Social Media Management | From $800/mo | Channel count, posts per week, creative production volume, community management load. |
| Customer Support Outsourcing | Contact us | Priced per engagement: coverage hours, ticket volume, channel mix, product complexity and training depth. |
| Call Center Outsourcing | Contact us | Priced per engagement: inbound or outbound, seat count, coverage hours, language requirements and call volume. |
| Content Writing & SEO Content | From $800/mo | Word volume, research depth, technical subject matter, publishing cadence. |
Why our pricing stays competitive.
Our mission is to deliver innovative, cost-effective and tailored solutions. Efficient processes and modern tooling absorb the repetitive hours of research, scaffolding, test coverage and QA passes, which means fewer billable hours reach your invoice for the same scope of work.
You pay for outcomes
Scope is defined by deliverables, not by how many hours we spent producing them.
No tooling markup
Our software and tooling costs are our overhead, never a line item passed to you.
Faster means less
Shorter build cycles lower total cost and get revenue-generating work live sooner.
Pricing questions, answered.
Why don’t you list one fixed price per service?
Because custom work isn’t a product. A five-page marketing site and a twenty-page e-commerce build are both “a website” and cost very different amounts. Publishing one number would mean either overcharging small projects or under-scoping large ones. Websites start from $500 and the final figure depends entirely on project scope. A written quote gets you a real number quickly.
Why is outsourcing priced on enquiry?
Customer support and call center outsourcing depend on variables that change the cost completely: seat count, coverage hours, inbound versus outbound mix, call and ticket volume, language requirements and how much product training agents need. Any published rate would be misleading, so we scope these per engagement. Contact us and you’ll get a written quote.
How does payment work?
Projects are milestone-based: typically a deposit to start, a payment at design sign-off, and the balance at launch. Retainers are billed monthly in advance on a rolling basis with 30 days’ notice to change or stop.
Is ad spend included in the management fee?
No. Your ad budget is paid directly to Meta and Google from your own accounts, so you keep full ownership and visibility. Our fee covers strategy, creative, campaign management and reporting only.
What if the scope changes mid-project?
We document it as a change request with its own cost and timeline impact, and you approve it before we build. Nothing gets added to an invoice you haven’t agreed to first.
Do you offer discounts for bundled services?
Yes. Combined engagements such as a build plus ads plus SEO share research, creative and strategy work, and we price that efficiency back to you rather than billing each service in isolation.
Can we start small?
Absolutely, and we often recommend it. That’s why website work starts from $500. A single landing page, a local SEO audit or a one-month ads pilot are all legitimate starting points. We’d rather prove value on a small engagement than oversell a large one.
Get a real number.
Tell us the scope and you’ll get a written quote with deliverables, timeline and cost: free, and with no obligation to proceed.
What we’ve learned shipping since 2017.
Practical notes on websites, web apps, paid media, SEO and support, written from client work rather than from a keyword tool. No listicles, no filler.
of shipped work distilled into the patterns that actually predict whether a digital project succeeds.
The three reasons digital projects fail. And none of them are technical
Unclear ownership, scope that grows without a decision, and a launch treated as a finish line rather than a starting point. After nine years and hundreds of engagements, the failures cluster far more tightly than the successes do. And the pattern is almost never the technology stack.

This DPA forms part of and is subject to the service agreement, proposal, statement of work or master services agreement between the parties (the “Principal Agreement”). Where this DPA conflicts with the Principal Agreement on the processing of personal data, this DPA prevails.
2. Definitions
- Data Protection Laws: the EU GDPR (2016/679), the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, the Swiss FADP, the CCPA/CPRA and other applicable US state privacy laws, and any other applicable law governing personal data.

Terms not defined here take the meaning given in the applicable Data Protection Laws.
3. Subject matter and roles
The Client is the Controller and SudoX is the Processor in respect of Personal Data processed under the Principal Agreement. Where the Client is itself a processor for a third party, SudoX acts as sub-processor and the Client warrants it has authority to engage SudoX on those terms.
SudoX processes Personal Data only:
- for the purposes set out in Annex I and as necessary to provide the services;
- in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions; and
- as required by applicable law, in which case SudoX will inform the Client before processing unless legally prohibited.
SudoX will not sell Personal Data, share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, retain or use it for its own purposes, or combine it with data from other sources except as permitted by law. SudoX will immediately inform the Client if, in its opinion, an instruction infringes Data Protection Laws.
4. Client obligations
The Client warrants and undertakes that:
- it has a lawful basis for the processing it instructs, and has provided all required notices and obtained all required consents;
- its instructions comply with Data Protection Laws and do not cause SudoX to breach them;
- Personal Data supplied to SudoX is accurate and limited to what is necessary for the services;
- it will not instruct the processing of special category data, children’s data or payment card data unless expressly agreed in writing and covered by additional safeguards;
- it maintains the accuracy of its own records and responds to Data Subjects as controller.
Where the Client provides SudoX with access to its systems, the Client is responsible for configuring access rights appropriately and for promptly revoking access when personnel change.
5. SudoX obligations
SudoX will:
- process Personal Data only on documented instructions, as set out in clause 3;
- implement and maintain the security measures in Annex II;
- ensure personnel are bound by confidentiality and receive data protection training;
- impose equivalent obligations on Sub-processors under written contract;
- assist the Client in responding to Data Subject requests (clause 9);
- notify the Client of Personal Data Breaches without undue delay and in any event within 48 hours of becoming aware (clause 10);
- assist the Client with data protection impact assessments and prior consultations with supervisory authorities;
- delete or return Personal Data on termination (clause 13);
- make available information necessary to demonstrate compliance and submit to audits (clause 12);
- maintain records of processing activities carried out on the Client’s behalf.
6. Confidentiality and personnel
SudoX will treat all Personal Data as confidential and will not disclose it except to personnel and Sub-processors who need access to deliver the services.
SudoX ensures that every employee, contractor and outsourced agent with access to Personal Data:
- is subject to a written confidentiality undertaking that survives termination of their engagement;
- receives data protection and security awareness training at onboarding and at least annually;
- is granted access strictly on a need-to-know, least-privilege basis;
- has access revoked promptly on role change or departure;
- is subject to background verification where appropriate to the role and permitted by law.
6.1 Access to Client-controlled systems
For customer support and call center engagements, SudoX agents access the Client’s own systems directly, which may include the Client’s CRM, helpdesk, ticketing, order management, telephony or billing platforms, rather than working solely inside SudoX-owned tooling. Where this is the case:
- access is provisioned by the Client, or by SudoX on the Client’s written instruction, using named individual accounts for each agent. Shared, generic or team logins are not used, so that every action is attributable to one person;
- permissions are scoped to the minimum role required to perform the agreed scope of work. SudoX will not request or accept administrative, export, bulk-download or global-search rights unless the Client determines they are necessary and records that instruction;
- SudoX maintains a per-Client access assignment register recording which agents hold access to which Client systems, the permission level held, the date access was granted and the date it was revoked;
- access is revoked within one business day of an agent leaving the engagement, changing role, or the engagement terminating, and SudoX will confirm revocation to the Client on request;
- the register is reviewed at least quarterly, and the Client may request a copy at any time to reconcile it against its own user lists;
- agents are prohibited from exporting, copying, photographing, screen-recording or storing Client data outside the Client’s systems and SudoX’s approved tooling, and from accessing records other than those needed to handle the enquiry in front of them;
- where the Client’s systems produce their own audit logs, those logs remain the Client’s record. SudoX will cooperate in investigating any access flagged by the Client as anomalous.
The Client remains the controller of, and is responsible for configuring, the permissions, retention settings and logging in its own systems. SudoX cannot restrict access more tightly than the roles the Client provisions, and will notify the Client if the access granted appears broader than the scope of work requires.
6.2 Call recording
Where telephony forms part of the services, calls are recorded for quality assurance, agent coaching, dispute resolution and training, and additionally on the Client’s specific instruction. Recording is subject to the following:
- Roles. The Client is the controller of call recordings relating to its customers and determines the lawful basis for recording. SudoX acts as processor. Where SudoX records for its own quality assurance purposes on its own platform, it does so on the Client’s documented instruction and within the purposes set out in this clause;
- Notice. Callers are informed that the call may be recorded, and of the purpose, before recording begins, by pre-connection announcement, IVR message, or equivalent notice agreed with the Client. Where the applicable law of the caller’s or the agent’s location requires the consent of all parties, recording will not proceed without it, and the caller is offered a route to continue on an unrecorded basis or through another channel;
- Withdrawal and objection. If a caller objects to being recorded, the agent will stop or suppress recording for that call where the system permits, or otherwise continue without recording, and will log the objection;
- Sensitive content. Agents are instructed not to capture payment card data in recordings. Where payment details must be taken by phone, pause-and-resume or equivalent suppression is used so that card and authentication data are not recorded. Special category data is not solicited;
- Access. Recordings are accessible only to authorised quality assurance and supervisory personnel on a need-to-know basis, and to the Client. Access is logged. Recordings are not used for any purpose beyond those stated, and are never used to train third-party models or for marketing;
- Retention. Recordings are retained for the period the Client specifies in writing. Absent a Client instruction, SudoX applies a default retention of 90 days, after which recordings are deleted, together with associated transcripts and quality assurance extracts, save where a longer period is required by law or to resolve an active dispute. Where recordings are held in the Client’s own telephony platform, retention is controlled by the Client;
- Data subject rights. SudoX will assist the Client in locating, providing, redacting or deleting a recording in response to a Data Subject request under clause 9. Redaction of third-party voices is carried out where reasonably practicable;
- Transfers. Recordings and transcripts are subject to the transfer safeguards in clause 11 in the same way as other Personal Data.
The Client is responsible for reflecting call recording in its own privacy notice to its customers, and for confirming that recording is lawful in the jurisdictions from which its customers call. SudoX will provide the technical detail needed for that assessment, including where recording takes place and how long recordings are kept.
7. Security measures
SudoX implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, having regard to the state of the art, cost of implementation, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, as required by Article 32 GDPR.
Those measures are described in Annex II. SudoX may update them provided the level of protection is not reduced. SudoX regularly tests, assesses and evaluates the effectiveness of its measures.
8. Sub-processors
The Client grants SudoX general written authorisation to engage Sub-processors, subject to the following conditions:
- Sub-processors currently approved are listed in Annex III;
- SudoX will give the Client at least 30 days’ notice before adding or replacing a Sub-processor;
- the Client may object on reasonable data protection grounds within that notice period. The parties will work in good faith to resolve the objection; if it cannot be resolved, the Client may terminate the affected service without penalty for the unused portion of any prepaid fees;
- SudoX imposes data protection obligations on each Sub-processor that are no less protective than this DPA;
- SudoX remains fully liable to the Client for the performance of its Sub-processors.
9. Data subject requests
SudoX will not respond to a Data Subject request relating to Client Personal Data except on the Client’s instruction or as required by law. If SudoX receives such a request directly, it will:
- promptly inform the Client, and in any event within 5 business days;
- direct the Data Subject to the Client as controller;
- provide reasonable assistance, including technical measures where available, to help the Client respond within statutory deadlines.
Assistance covers requests for access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection and opt-out rights under US state law. SudoX may charge reasonable costs for assistance that goes materially beyond the standard functionality of the services.
10. Personal data breach
SudoX will notify the Client without undue delay, and in any event within 48 hours of becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach affecting Client Personal Data.
The notification will include, to the extent known:
- the nature of the breach, including categories and approximate number of Data Subjects and records affected;
- the likely consequences of the breach;
- measures taken or proposed to address it and mitigate adverse effects;
- contact details for the person coordinating the response.
Where full information is not available at the outset, SudoX will provide it in phases without undue further delay. SudoX will document all breaches, cooperate with the Client’s investigation, and not make public statements identifying the Client without prior written consent unless legally required.
Notification of a breach is not an acknowledgement of fault or liability.
11. International transfers
SudoX is established in the United States. The Client acknowledges that provision of the services involves processing in the United States and potentially in other jurisdictions where Sub-processors operate, as identified in Annex III.
Region matching. SudoX selects the hosting region to match the Client’s own region. For Clients in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, the hosting, storage and backup components of the stack are configured in EU regions, using AWS, Google Cloud, Azure or Hetzner EU regions. Where an engagement is hosted entirely in the EU, the Client’s data at rest does not leave the EEA. The Client may require region pinning as a condition of the engagement, recorded in the statement of work, in which case SudoX will not migrate that data to a non-EU region without the Client’s prior written consent.
Residual US access. Even where data is hosted in the EU, the Client should be aware that SudoX is a US entity and that its personnel and its support and administrative tooling access that data from the United States. That remote access is itself a restricted transfer under the GDPR and the UK GDPR, and it is covered by the Standard Contractual Clauses set out below rather than by the hosting region. If an engagement ever requires personnel to access Client data from a country outside the United States, SudoX will disclose that country to the Client in the statement of work before the access begins, and will not proceed without the Client’s agreement.
Adequacy and framework reliance. Where a Sub-processor is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension, transfers to that Sub-processor may rely on the relevant adequacy decision for as long as the certification and the decision remain in force. SudoX does not rely on the Data Privacy Framework alone. The Standard Contractual Clauses below apply in parallel, so that a transfer mechanism remains in place if an adequacy decision is invalidated or a certification lapses.
Where processing involves a transfer of Personal Data from the EEA, UK or Switzerland to a country without an adequacy decision, the parties agree that:
- the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (2021/914), Module Two (controller to processor) or Module Three (processor to processor) as applicable, are incorporated into this DPA by reference and take precedence in the event of conflict;
- the UK International Data Transfer Addendum applies to UK transfers;
- Annex I of this DPA populates Annexes I.A and I.B of the SCCs, and Annex II populates Annex II of the SCCs;
- the competent supervisory authority is that of the Client’s place of establishment;
- for clause 17, the governing law is that of Ireland; for clause 18(b), the forum is the courts of Ireland.
SudoX will assist the Client with transfer impact assessments and will notify the Client if it becomes subject to a legally binding request for disclosure by a public authority, unless prohibited from doing so.
12. Audit and assistance
SudoX will make available to the Client information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with this DPA, and will allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by the Client or an independent auditor appointed by the Client.
Audits are subject to the following: at least 30 days’ prior written notice; no more than once in any 12-month period unless required by a supervisory authority or following a Personal Data Breach; conducted during business hours without unreasonable disruption; subject to confidentiality obligations; and limited to systems and records relevant to the processing of Client Personal Data. The auditor may not be a competitor of SudoX. The Client bears its own audit costs and SudoX’s reasonable costs for audits exceeding the standard scope.
SudoX may satisfy audit requests by providing existing certifications, penetration test summaries or completed security questionnaires where these reasonably address the Client’s enquiry.
13. Deletion and return of data
On termination or expiry of the Principal Agreement, or earlier on the Client’s written request, SudoX will at the Client’s election either return Personal Data in a commonly used machine-readable format, or delete it.
Deletion will be completed within 90 days of termination, including from backup systems in the ordinary backup rotation cycle, except where SudoX is required by law to retain a copy. In which case SudoX will retain it only for the period required and continue to protect it under this DPA.
SudoX will provide written confirmation of deletion on request. Personal Data that has been irreversibly anonymised is not subject to this clause.
14. Liability, term and governing law
This DPA takes effect on the effective date of the Principal Agreement and continues for as long as SudoX processes Personal Data on the Client’s behalf. Clauses 6, 13 and 14 survive termination.
Each party’s liability under this DPA is subject to the limitations and exclusions of liability set out in the Principal Agreement. Nothing in this DPA limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including a Data Subject’s rights to compensation.
This DPA is governed by the law stated in the Principal Agreement, or where none is stated, the laws of the State of Texas, United States, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas. Where the SCCs apply, clause 11 of this DPA governs their construction and the governing law and forum stated in clause 11 prevail over this paragraph for the purposes of those Clauses.
If any provision is held invalid, the remainder continues in force. Amendments must be in writing, save that SudoX may update Annex II and Annex III in accordance with clauses 7 and 8.

Hosting region is selected to match the Client’s own region: engagements for EU and UK clients are hosted in EU regions, and engagements for US clients are hosted in US regions. The Client’s hosting region is confirmed in the statement of work.
Client action. If your engagement requires that data never leave a specific region, tell us before work begins so we can pin every component of the stack to that region and record it in the statement of work.
