The Tech Genius

Website development, SEO and digital marketing for Los Angeles businesses

Los Angeles sells things that photograph well — entertainment, beauty, apparel, creator brands — and a large share of it sells direct to the customer on Shopify. Search 'web design company Los Angeles' and you get agencies priced for studio budgets; we are a web design agency working from India that builds the same stores at published prices, with the Spanish-language version scoped in rather than bolted on afterwards.

In one paragraph

The Tech Genius builds websites, Shopify stores, SEO campaigns and software for Los Angeles businesses from India, and works as a white-label social media marketing agency and build partner behind LA agencies. Delivery is remote, invoices are in US dollars with a W-8BEN-E supplied and no US withholding under the India–US treaty, and the company is GST-registered in India with its prices published.

What Los Angeles businesses run into, and what we do about it

  • Creator and D2C brands need a store, not a brochure

    Los Angeles is dense with beauty, apparel, wellness and creator-led brands that sell straight to the customer, most of them on Shopify. Those stores live or die on page speed, how product photography is handled and a checkout that does not leak. We build Shopify stores with those three things treated as the job rather than as add-ons, and the Shopify price is on the pricing page.

  • Spanish is not an optional language here

    A very large share of Los Angeles County speaks Spanish at home, and an English-only site quietly turns away customers in Boyle Heights, East LA and the San Fernando Valley. We scope a Spanish version as a real line item — translated copy, hreflang tags, Spanish search terms — rather than running the English through a plugin and calling it bilingual.

  • Social is where LA brands get discovered

    For a creator or fashion label in this city, Instagram and TikTok are the front door and the website is where the sale closes. A social media marketing agency that cannot fix the landing page, or a web team that ignores the feed, leaves half the funnel broken. We do both — a digital marketing agency Los Angeles brands can hand the whole funnel to — and we price the social retainer separately so you can see what each part costs.

  • Studio-town agency pricing

    Agencies in Santa Monica and Culver City price for entertainment and studio budgets, and a small business in Long Beach or Pasadena is quoted from the same rate card. Our rates are Indian rates, published; the SEO agency Los Angeles brands would otherwise pay studio money for is, from us, a monthly retainer with the figure shown before you enquire.

Why Los Angeles clients work with us

  • Shopify D2C is most of what we build

    Ecommerce is where much of our work sits — Shopify builds, migrations from other platforms, subscription set-ups, WhatsApp order flows. For Los Angeles that means product-heavy catalogues, bundles and limited drops handled properly, with page speed measured rather than promised.

  • An AI agency, without the Silicon Beach markup

    Playa Vista and Santa Monica have no shortage of firms selling AI. As an ai agency we build the unglamorous version: a customer-service agent grounded in your product catalogue, automated order updates, content workflows with a human sign-off — priced as a sprint, with model usage billed at cost and shown separately.

  • No office in Los Angeles, said plainly

    There is no LA address on this site because there is no LA office. Delivery is remote — a video call in your early morning, WhatsApp through the day, a shared project board — and in return you get published prices, a GST registration in India you can check, and repositories and ad accounts held in your own name.

  • White-label behind LA agencies

    Creative agencies in Los Angeles are usually strong on brand and thin on build capacity. We sit behind them as the web and seo services team, sign non-circumvention first, and never contact their client directly.

Questions from Los Angeles clients

Do you have an office in Los Angeles?

No. We are in India and we say so on every page of this site. You will not meet us in Culver City; you will meet us on a video call at the start of your day, and the work, the code and the accounts will all be in your name from day one.

Are you a digital marketing agency in Los Angeles or a web design company?

Both, plus software. The website development company Los Angeles brands come to for a Shopify build is the same team that then runs the SEO, the social retainer and any AI or WhatsApp automation — one contract, one project board.

Do we need to withhold US tax on your invoices?

No. Under the India–US treaty there is no 30% withholding on payments for our services, and you receive a completed W-8BEN-E for your files. Payment goes to local USD account details, so from your side it is a normal domestic transfer with no wire fees.

How does the timezone work from the West Coast?

Los Angeles is twelve and a half hours behind India in summer and thirteen and a half in winter. The 8am-to-noon Eastern window we cover for East Coast clients lands at roughly 5am to 9am Pacific, so most LA work runs on written daily updates, with a call held in your first hour when one is genuinely needed.

What does a website cost for a Los Angeles business?

A single-page site starts at $350; multi-page business websites typically run $1,800 to $4,500 depending on page count and complexity; Shopify stores are priced separately on the pricing page. Everything is quoted in US dollars and the figures are public before you email.
