Web Studios in Moscow

Moscow combines scale and diversity in a way that is unusual even for the Russian web development market: banking interfaces used by millions of people exist alongside public portals, e-commerce platforms for major retail chains, digital products for real estate developers, and corporate systems for industrial companies. A website development project here often begins with requirements that go far beyond public-facing pages: personal accounts, ERP and CRM integrations, databases, mobile applications, product analytics, and long-term service development.

This is clearly visible in the profile of local teams. AGIMA works with financial services, insurance, and large digital products, QSOFT builds corporate portals and complex integration systems, AERO, Greensight, AWG, and Intaro are deeply specialized in e-commerce, AIC, Chulakov, and Pinkman are prominent in banking interfaces, while Notamedia and ARTWELL work with public-sector digital systems. Only, ONY, and CreativePeople lean more toward design, branding, and user experience. Moscow is a market where website development overlaps with product development much more often than in most Russian cities.

For this review, we selected twenty Moscow companies with verifiable projects, clients, and a real presence in the city or the Moscow metropolitan area. The order reflects a combination of portfolio scale, technological complexity, client level, design quality, depth of specialization, and market visibility. It is an editorial structure for studying the market rather than an attempt to turn very different agencies into a mathematically precise ranking.

AGIMA is one of Moscow’s most prominent companies in the development of large digital products. Its portfolio clearly reflects a strong financial and service-oriented profile: the team has been developing digital products for AlfaStrakhovanie for years, participated in building the Finuslugi application for the Moscow Exchange, created mobile products for the 36.6 pharmacy chain and SberSpasibo. For Petstory, it developed a web service, applications, and doctors’ accounts, while for Rusagro it created a career website integrated with Huntflow. The portfolio also includes internal systems: SberAutoPark operates as an ERP for fleet management.

This range of projects describes AGIMA’s profile better than a generic list of services. The company is suitable for large businesses that need web applications, mobile products, analytics, and long-term development of a digital service. Its public case studies show that a significant share of the work involves systems where the interface is only the top layer of a large software infrastructure.

QSOFT works with corporate portals, e-commerce, and custom development. Notable projects include the Bank of Russia digital library with more than 350,000 publications, the Otkritie Bank corporate portal that brought together more than 40 services for 22,000 employees, and Lamoda’s internal portal designed for about 13,000 people. For Boiron, the agency built an AI chatbot that automated a significant share of incoming requests; for NLMK, it created an application for organizing employee meals.

QSOFT has one of the broadest technology stacks in this review: PHP, Python, Go, Node.js, TypeScript, Laravel, Symfony, Django, FastAPI, React, Vue.js, Next.js, and Nuxt. PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse, and other systems are used for data storage and processing. The company also has strong experience in complex e-commerce: the BIBI project was built as a standalone platform replacing SAP Hybris. QSOFT is a logical choice for corporate portals, high-load web services, and projects with a large number of integrations.

Articul is a Moscow full-cycle agency working with digital platforms, design, and customer experience transformation. The company showcases more than a thousand completed projects and hundreds of clients. Its portfolio includes the KHL digital ecosystem for a large hockey audience, a platform for the Zdes Apteka pharmacy chain, projects for Leroy Merlin, and the architecture and interface of a transport aggregator intended to operate in dozens of countries.

For ALCON, the agency links changes in the digital product to an increase in average order value. Articul’s portfolio shows an ability to connect research, product architecture, UX/UI, and further development. The company is a good fit for clients that need a large unified platform or digital product where the website is connected with mobile scenarios, data, and several customer interaction channels.

AERO specializes in e-commerce, data, and digital systems for retail. The company has worked since 2006 and showcases more than 300 completed projects. Its client list includes Hoff, M.Video, Lenta, MegaFon, Haier, NLMK, and other major companies. Public case studies include projects for Chetire Lapy, Prosveshchenie, Gloria Jeans, Burger King, BorisHof, and Coffeemania.

AERO’s strength lies in the tasks that begin after an online store goes live: data management, customer and partner accounts, CRM, analytics, dynamic pricing, and high-availability support. This agency makes sense when an online store is part of a large retail infrastructure and product development requires continuous integrations and data work.

Notamedia works at the intersection of public-sector services, large corporate websites, and cultural digital projects. Over two decades, the company has accumulated hundreds of projects and awards. One of the largest examples is its participation in creating Moscow’s unified web environment around mos.ru: the project consolidated thousands of websites and services, analyzed hundreds of thousands of search queries, and mapped hundreds of real-life situations faced by city residents. The company also launched standardized websites for Moscow authorities, the Moscow Region, and federal institutions.

The more visual side of the portfolio includes projects for the Metropol Hotel, VDNH, AURUS, and the city programs Summer in Moscow and Winter in Moscow. The technology stack includes PHP, Python, Go, Node.js, Laravel, Symfony, Django, React, Vue.js, Next.js, and Nuxt, while CMS platforms include 1C-Bitrix, WordPress, MODX, and Wagtail. Notamedia is especially suitable for organizations with large volumes of content, complex structures, and requirements for scaling a digital ecosystem.

Discuss a project

Only stands out for its specialization in B2B, industry, and real estate development. For SIBUR, the team works with digital products and their support; for Severstal, it created a career portal; for VK, it developed the website for the Capsule Pro product. In real estate, the portfolio includes MR Group, JOIS, Nice Loft, Mandarin Oriental Residences, and other projects.

In the JOIS project, the agency handled UX/UI, development with Next.js, and CRM integration. The website for Hotel Olga is connected with the Logus HMS booking system. Another notable project is the Mosfilm anniversary website with a large film library and B2B sections. Only is suitable for large B2B and real estate projects where strong web design must work together with practical development and external systems.

AIC has worked with interfaces and user experience for large digital products since 2004. The financial sector is especially prominent in its portfolio: projects for VTB, Ak Bars Bank, Bank Saint Petersburg, FINAM, and T-Bank. For VTB, the team designed children’s banking services, gift cards, and loyalty program scenarios; for T-Bank, it worked on business account service scenarios.

Outside fintech, the portfolio includes the redesign and development of the United Aircraft Corporation website, the Informzaschita corporate website, the Gorky Park website, and other major information products. AIC is worth considering when the main difficulty of a project lies in a complex user scenario: a banking operation, service application, large catalog, or system that must remain understandable without simplifying the underlying business logic.

Chulakov grew from a design studio into a company working with research, digital products, and development. Its portfolio includes a personal account and website for Papa Johns, e-commerce for re:Store, a VTB career website, digital products for banks, and projects for large businesses. For Bauman Moscow State Technical University, the team handled product design, frontend development, and backend development of the website.

A separate Chulakov Research practice studies user behavior in fintech, e-commerce, and other industries. This allows a redesign to begin with data about how people actually use the product. The studio is especially relevant for banks, service companies, and retailers where website or application design is connected with a large number of actions, forms, calculations, and recurring user scenarios.

Greensight specializes in large e-commerce systems and has worked since 2008. The company develops its own Ensi platform and showcases dozens of major e-commerce projects. Well-known cases include the development of the omnichannel ILE DE BEAUTE platform, projects for Gloria Jeans, Magnit Cosmetic, and Petrovich.

Projects of this scale include PIM, catalogs, product and pricing management, seller accounts, loyalty programs, and service architecture. For Gloria Jeans, Greensight participated in replacing SAP Commerce Cloud. The company is a strong fit for major retailers where online store development is tightly connected with internal product systems and multiple sales channels.

AWG works with high-load products, e-commerce, and corporate development. Its portfolio includes TSUM, Alfa-Bank, Hoff, M.Video, Lenta, Donstroy, Russian Railways, Leroy Merlin, and other major companies. Case studies include the omnichannel architecture for ILE DE BEAUTE, website and mobile products for POIZON, the Kraszvetmet online store, and projects for Williams Oliver and 12 STOREEZ.

The technology stack reflects the scale of the work: Java and Spring, PHP with Laravel and Symfony, Python, Go, Node.js, React, Vue.js, Nuxt, Next.js, Kotlin, Swift, and Flutter. PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, MongoDB, and Redis are used for data, along with Kafka and RabbitMQ, Docker, and Kubernetes. AWG is suitable for long-term development where a web application must handle high load, exchange data with enterprise systems, and receive new functionality on a regular basis.

Big Fish Digital (BFD) is a Moscow-based web studio operating since 2011. The company develops corporate websites, online stores, catalogs, and web services, while more complex projects connect the public-facing website with personal accounts, CRM systems, 1C, databases, and external APIs. For Polaris, the studio developed an online store for home appliances. The Pilkington project was created for a major architectural glass manufacturer: the website needed to position the company as a technology leader while presenting its products, portfolio, technologies, and industry expertise in detail. For the FUZAILOV jewelry house, Big Fish developed a corporate catalog website.

For technologically complex projects, BFD uses Laravel, Vue.js, databases, REST APIs, and integrations; WordPress, MODX, and 1C-Bitrix are also used for corporate and content-driven websites. The architecture can follow a Vue.js → REST API → Laravel → PostgreSQL or MySQL → CRM/ERP/1C structure when the interface needs to be separated from backend business logic. This profile distinguishes Big Fish Digital from studios focused mainly on visual design: BFD is suitable for companies that need a corporate website, online store, or web service with further development, a complex catalog, a personal account, and an integration layer.

ONY combines branding, product design, and digital development. Its clients include Avito, MTS, Kaspersky, Yandex, T-Bank, X5, Golden Apple, Gazprom, and other major brands. The company creates corporate websites, online stores, mobile applications, portals, internal services, and promotional projects.

Unlike teams that enter a project mainly through programming, ONY often starts with positioning, identity, and the visual system of the brand, then transfers them into the digital product. This profile is useful for companies that need rebranding, new communications, and website or application development within a single design system.

CreativePeople has worked with digital interfaces for more than twenty years. Its portfolio includes projects for Alfa-Bank, the national Chestny ZNAK product labeling system, Beeline Cloud, Nizhpharm, the Tretyakov Gallery, and real estate projects. The team works with UX/UI and can carry the design through to functioning frontend and backend development.

The public technology stack includes JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, Node.js, React, Vue.js, and Next.js. PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis are used for data, while Docker, CI/CD, and Nginx appear in the infrastructure. CreativePeople is suitable for projects where the quality of the product interface must be supported by complete development rather than handed over to a separate contractor after design.

Pinkman is especially visible in fintech. The company’s clients include Sber, VTB, Gazprombank, T-Bank, PSB, Uralsib, Rosbank, Rosgosstrakh, Yandex, X5, VK, and Ozon. The portfolio is notable because the studio publishes measurable outcomes. For the OTP Bank website, it reports conversion growth; for Paynet, a substantial increase in the monthly audience of the application; for VTB, multi-year work on the website and communications with improvements in several product metrics.

In the Uralsib case, the team links changes in the career product with higher application conversion, while for the X5 partner platform it reports growth in key product metrics. This approach makes Pinkman a strong option for banks or large services where the task is framed through user behavior and business metrics, and a website redesign requires product research before visual work begins.

KTS works with web and mobile products for FinTech, HRTech, EdTech, PropTech, retail, and other industries. The company develops services, internal systems, educational products, and applications, while also building its own software products. Its portfolio includes medical training systems, employee development platforms, and mobile solutions for construction quality control.

The stack clearly shows KTS’s engineering profile: React and TypeScript on the client side, Python, Django, and Go on the server side, PostgreSQL and Redis for data, and Kafka for messaging. Infrastructure includes Kubernetes, cloud platforms, Keycloak, Vault, Ansible, and Terraform. This is a team for startups and large businesses that need a complete digital product with a complex backend.

Uplab works with corporate websites and digital services for large businesses. The company showcases hundreds of completed projects and a separate specialization in aviation: its portfolio includes more than a dozen airport websites. Other cases include digital projects for OCS, MTT, Severstal, Kept, and public information systems.

In one project for OCS, the team designed more than twenty page types and migrated around 6,400 records. For data-driven systems, Uplab uses Vue.js, Nuxt, PHP, Node.js, Laravel, 1C-Bitrix, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis. The company also has DevOps and CI/CD expertise. The studio is suitable for corporate websites, B2B portals, and services that require ongoing website development and evolution after launch.

ARTWELL has worked since 2003 and specializes in large digital systems for government and major businesses. Its portfolio includes projects for Rosstat, NLMK, and public organizations. The company handles architecture, development, implementation, and ongoing support of software systems, including solutions involving large-scale data analysis and artificial intelligence.

The Rosstat portfolio includes Big Data and AI projects, while public-sector systems involve automated processing of citizen requests and complex information services. This is a different market segment from a conventional website studio: ARTWELL is a logical choice for a large portal, government platform, or corporate system with a long life cycle.

ADV specializes in the development and evolution of large digital products. The company showcases hundreds of projects and a team of more than one hundred specialists. Its areas include B2C and B2B e-commerce, personal accounts, mobile applications, business process automation, and systems for working with large volumes of data.

Public projects include real estate sales platforms with booking, contracts, mortgage calculators, and personal accounts, insurance services, automotive marketplaces, and remote consultation products. The economics of this segment are illustrated by ADV’s published dedicated-team model: the starting configuration costs around one million rubles per month. ADV makes sense for a long-term project where the client needs a permanent development team and technical support under an SLA.

Intaro has specialized in complex e-commerce since 2006. Its projects include SuperStep, Ralf Ringer, Amazing Red, re:Store, Baucenter, Tvoy Dom, IDOL, Finn Flare, and Xiaomi. The company is especially interesting for its architecture, which combines the capabilities of 1C-Bitrix with a modern interface and separate backend logic.

In the Xiaomi project, 1C-Bitrix and Vue.js were used together with ERP, 1C, CRM, payment, and logistics integrations. For IDOL, the backend was built on Symfony, while the interface used Nuxt.js. Its own Symtrix technology base also combines Symfony with Bitrix administration capabilities. Infrastructure includes MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Kafka, and ClickHouse. Intaro is suitable for retailers that need an online store with large catalogs, integrations, and a high pace of further development.

Kokoc.tech is a Moscow digital integrator working with development, design, support, and dedicated teams. Its clients include Sber, PIK, Vnukovo, Lenta, Lemana PRO, Alfa-Bank, the Moscow Exchange, Gazprom, X5, DHL, Geely, and Rehau. Its case studies include flight planning systems, online stores, corporate products, WebApps for retail, and digital products for real estate developers.

For Atomstroykompleks, the company used React and Next.js, Symfony and GraphQL on the backend, a unified API, and integration with 1C. Other projects include Laravel, OctoberCMS, PostgreSQL, Nuxt, Django, and RabbitMQ. The company has published a fast landing page development format with a fixed price of about 250,000 rubles, although its core portfolio is significantly more complex. Kokoc.tech is suitable for businesses that need anything from a standalone website to a large integration-heavy system.

Корпоративный сайт остаётся распространённым московским продуктом, но лучшие портфолио показывают его в более сложной форме. У QSOFT это корпоративные порталы с десятками внутренних сервисов, у Uplab — сайты и B2B-системы с большими массивами контента, у Only — цифровые площадки промышленности и девелопмента. Заказчики всё чаще требуют связать публичную часть с личным кабинетом, CRM, базами данных и внутренними системами компании.

The corporate website remains a common Moscow product, but the strongest portfolios show it in a more complex form. At QSOFT, these are corporate portals with dozens of internal services; at Uplab, websites and B2B systems with large volumes of content; at Only, digital platforms for industry and real estate. Clients increasingly expect the public-facing website to be connected with a personal account, CRM, databases, and internal corporate systems.

The second major segment is e-commerce. AERO, Greensight, AWG, and Intaro build projects where an online store includes PIM, ERP, loyalty programs, mobile scenarios, pricing and stock management. Such a project differs significantly in complexity from a store based on a ready-made template. WordPress and WooCommerce remain relevant in the small and mid-market segment, while WordPress development is well suited to content-driven and relatively compact commercial websites.

Moscow also generates steady demand for web applications. Banking accounts, insurance services, HR platforms, real estate marketplaces, public-sector systems, and SaaS products require dedicated backend architecture. In these cases, the website becomes an interface to data and business processes. Laravel, Symfony, Python, Go, and Node.js handle backend logic, React and Vue.js handle dynamic interfaces, while PostgreSQL and other database systems handle data.

Landing pages remain a separate commercial product. They are used for launching residential projects, banking products, advertising campaigns, new services, and events. A Moscow landing page from a strong design studio may include 3D, advanced animation, and a custom visual concept, while another project may be a compact page optimized for rapid campaign launch and lead generation.

There is no single dominant technology stack among the twenty studios reviewed. For content websites and corporate pages, 1C-Bitrix, WordPress, and MODX are prominent. MODX remains a practical option for projects that require a flexible content structure without a heavy ready-made commercial platform; this approach is described in more detail on the MODX development page.

Complex services are more often built with a separation between frontend and backend. AWG uses React, Vue.js, Laravel, Symfony, Java, Python, and Go. QSOFT uses Laravel, Symfony, Django, React, Vue.js, Next.js, and Nuxt. KTS combines React and TypeScript with Python and Go. CreativePeople publicly lists React, Vue.js, Next.js, PHP, and Node.js. At Intaro, Vue.js or Nuxt works on top of backend architecture built with Symfony and 1C-Bitrix.

The chain Vue.js → REST API → Laravel → PostgreSQL or MySQL is typical of web services where the interface must operate independently from the CMS and communicate with backend business logic through an API. This approach is also used in projects by Big Fish Digital. It is convenient for personal accounts, CRM systems, internal tools, and services with many user states.

The larger the Moscow project, the more important the infrastructure around the application code becomes. The stacks of the companies reviewed include Redis, Kafka, RabbitMQ, Docker, Kubernetes, Elasticsearch, and ClickHouse. These technologies support caching, queues, search, analytics, and scaling. Visitors rarely notice them directly, but backend architecture often determines whether a service can handle load and continue evolving for years.

Несколько кейсов особенно хорошо показывают диапазон московского рынка. Здесь есть финансовая платформа, городская цифровая экосистема, крупный e-commerce, корпоративный личный кабинет и сервис девелопера. Эти проекты различаются отраслью и интерфейсом, но во всех случаях веб-разработка тесно связана с данными, интеграциями и длительным развитием продукта.

Discuss a project

Several case studies illustrate the range of the Moscow market especially well. They include a financial platform, a citywide digital ecosystem, major e-commerce, a corporate personal account, and a real estate service. The industries and interfaces are very different, yet in every case web development is closely connected with data, integrations, and long-term product evolution.

The Finuslugi project for the Moscow Exchange shows how far a modern financial web product has moved beyond a conventional website. Users select financial products, go through identification, and interact with the service through digital scenarios. For AGIMA, this is part of a large fintech and insurance portfolio where web and mobile applications evolve as one product environment.

The work around mos.ru is particularly interesting because of the scale of the information architecture. The task involved bringing a huge number of separate websites and services into a system that city residents could understand. Hundreds of thousands of search queries and hundreds of real-life situations were analyzed during the design process. The case clearly demonstrates the role of research and content architecture in a project serving a mass audience.

In its work for Gloria Jeans, Greensight dealt with e-commerce infrastructure and the replacement of SAP Commerce Cloud. For a major retailer, a migration of this kind affects the catalog, product data, user scenarios, and connections with internal systems. The value of the case lies in the architecture and management of the transition between platforms, while the visible store interface is only one layer of the overall system.

In the Si-Leasing project, the public website and the client account are technologically separated. The website runs on 1C-Bitrix, while the client account is built with Laravel and Vue.js and integrated with 1C. Users access leasing company data through the web interface, while the backend handles business logic and data exchange. This architecture works well for services where a content CMS should not control complex transactional scenarios.

Kokoc.tech used React and Next.js, Symfony and GraphQL, a unified API, and integration with 1C for the real estate developer’s project. This architecture allows the user interface, backend services, and connections to the company’s internal data to evolve independently. For the Moscow real estate market, this is a characteristic type of project: a residential development website gradually becomes a service for selecting properties, working with a catalog, and transferring data into an internal sales system.

Public market statistics provide a useful starting point for Moscow pricing. The average cost of a corporate website among Moscow contractors is around 579,000 rubles, a promotional website around 412,000 rubles, and an online store around 863,000 rubles. For services and portals, the average rises to roughly 3.25 million rubles. In common market segmentation, projects below 200,000 rubles belong to the lower range, 200,000–500,000 rubles to the mid-range, 500,000–1 million rubles to the upper range, while budgets above one million rubles form the premium segment.

These figures explain why the answer to “how much does it cost to build a website in Moscow?” varies so widely depending on the class of contractor and the product itself. A landing page with an established structure can fit within a few hundred thousand rubles. Kokoc.tech has published an express landing page development format at around 250,000 rubles. At BFD, the cost of a turnkey website starts at 190,000 rubles, a corporate website from 290,000 rubles, and an online store from 490,000 rubles.

For a large corporate website, the range quickly moves above the market average if the project requires audience research, new information architecture, a custom design system, CRM integration, migration of thousands of content items, and interactive functionality. Uplab’s OCS project, for example, included more than twenty page types and the migration of around 6,400 records. In a project like this, the price of website development reflects the amount of design, engineering, and data validation work, while the number of pages becomes only one of many parameters.

An online store built by AERO, Greensight, AWG, or Intaro may effectively be an e-commerce platform. The catalog is connected to PIM and ERP, prices and stock levels come from internal systems, customers use loyalty programs and personal accounts, and orders move into CRM and logistics platforms. The average figure of 863,000 rubles provides context for the overall market, but development of a system like this belongs to a much higher budget category.

Web applications have a different economic model. The average Moscow service or portal already costs several million rubles. If an analyst, architect, developers, and a project manager work on the product continuously, the monthly budget becomes a separate metric. ADV, for example, publishes a starting dedicated-team configuration at around one million rubles per month. For a product that evolves for a year, the cost is no longer the price of a single website version but the cost of a permanent team.

Discuss a project

The difference between a proposal for 300,000 rubles and a project worth several million often lies in work that visitors will never see directly. Before the first visual mockup appears, the team studies the business, competitors, and users, develops the information architecture and user scenarios. Then come the prototype, visual concept, and design system with component states, responsive versions, and rules for future product expansion.

Once the design is approved, frontend development and backend engineering begin. On a conventional corporate website, the server may mainly manage content. In a web application, it handles user permissions, transactions, documents, statuses, calculations, and data exchange. Databases, REST API or GraphQL, job queues, and integrations with CRM, ERP, 1C, payment systems, telephony, and external services are added. In projects with this architecture, CRM and process automation become part of the development scope rather than a separate add-on.

Для сложного корпоративного портала в первую очередь стоит смотреть на QSOFT, Notamedia, Uplab и АРТВЕЛЛ. Их портфолио включает внутренние системы, государственные сервисы и крупные корпоративные платформы. Если проект связан с несколькими десятками сервисов, большим объёмом контента или длительной интеграцией с внутренней инфраструктурой компании, опыт такого класса полезнее количества красивых промосайтов в портфолио.

Before launch, the project is tested on real devices and browsers, forms and integrations are checked, performance is optimized, and security is reviewed. For an existing website, content and URLs must also be migrated correctly. Redirects, canonical tags, metadata, sitemap.xml, robots.txt, Schema.org, and HTTP status codes need to be preserved or rebuilt. Otherwise, an expensive redesign can lead to the loss of accumulated search traffic. These issues are covered separately in BFD’s technical SEO work.

The work continues after launch. New sections appear, business processes change, integrations and CMS versions are updated, and traffic grows. On a large Moscow project, turnkey website development usually means the complete cycle from research to several subsequent releases rather than merely the date when the first version goes live.

For a complex corporate portal, QSOFT, Notamedia, Uplab, and ARTWELL are among the first companies worth considering. Their portfolios include internal systems, public-sector services, and large corporate platforms. If the project involves dozens of services, large volumes of content, or long-term integration with internal infrastructure, experience of this kind is more useful than a portfolio dominated by visually strong promotional websites.

For a major online store, AERO, Greensight, AWG, and Intaro have the clearest specialization. Their case studies cover PIM, ERP, loyalty programs, service architecture, and high-load integrations. For a more compact store or corporate project, BFD and Kokoc.tech may also be relevant depending on architecture and budget.

For a bank, insurance company, or fintech service, AGIMA, AIC, Chulakov, and Pinkman show strong specialization. AGIMA is strong in full-scale product development, AIC and Chulakov in complex user scenarios and research, and Pinkman in projects where interface quality is evaluated through product metrics.

If the central task is a strong visual system and brand positioning, ONY, Only, and CreativePeople deserve attention. Only is especially visible in real estate and industrial B2B, ONY combines branding with digital products, and CreativePeople has its own frontend and backend development capabilities.

For a technologically complex web application, the choice is broader. QSOFT, AWG, and KTS demonstrate large engineering stacks and high-load experience. BFD is suitable for Laravel + Vue.js projects involving databases and APIs, especially when the service needs to be connected with 1C or CRM. Kokoc.tech shows React, Next.js, Symfony, GraphQL, and Laravel in real integration-heavy projects.

A landing page should be assigned to a team that matches the purpose of the project. For a sophisticated image-driven real estate launch, Only’s experience is relevant; for a project where brand identity is central, ONY or CreativePeople may be a better fit. When the landing page is part of a larger system and is expected to evolve into a full service after the advertising campaign, it is usually more practical to choose a team with backend and API expertise from the start.

Discuss a project

The Moscow market shows a strong preference for long-term product development. AGIMA works with individual client services over many years, Pinkman shows multi-year work on banking products, and ADV offers permanent dedicated teams. This is a natural model for large systems: after launch, product ranges change, new services appear, external platforms are connected, and both data and user requirements evolve.

Technical support involves more than fixing bugs. The team updates CMS platforms and libraries, maintains infrastructure and security, improves performance, develops APIs, connects new payment and logistics methods, adds sections, and changes user scenarios. A website enhancement may take a few hours when it involves a form or content block, or turn into a new project when the company launches a personal account or moves a business process from offline to the web.

Ongoing development also matters for organic search. New pages need to be added to internal linking, indexing must be monitored, and duplicate content and technical errors need to be removed. Website promotion becomes more effective when developers and SEO specialists work with the same technical model of the project and interface changes are reviewed before release.

Moscow’s main distinction is the concentration of clients for whom the website is part of a much larger digital infrastructure. Banks, insurance companies, federal retail chains, real estate developers, industrial groups, and public-sector organizations create demand for products with dozens of integrations and large audiences. Among the twenty companies reviewed, a significant share showcases projects that are difficult to describe simply as “website development.”

Kazan and other major regional centers also have strong product teams, but Moscow portfolios are much more densely filled with federal banks, the country’s largest retail chains, and public digital platforms. In London, a comparable level of complexity is more often associated with international financial and commercial companies. Moscow more strongly combines the public sector, Russian fintech, federal retail, industry, and real estate.

The second distinction is agency specialization. Clients do not necessarily need to look for one universal web studio. AERO, Greensight, and Intaro focus on e-commerce; AIC and Pinkman on fintech interfaces; Only on B2B and real estate; Notamedia and ARTWELL on major public-sector systems; QSOFT, AWG, and KTS on technologically complex product development. This segmentation is useful for business because contractor selection can be based on the architecture of the future product rather than on a place in a general ranking.

Moscow remains an expensive market, but a high price alone says little about quality. It is more useful to compare the budget with the actual scope: research, architecture, design, backend development, databases, integrations, testing, and ongoing support. This is why two web studio proposals that appear similar on the surface may differ in price several times over.
