What founders and operators have said about working with Oratory.
“Working with Oratory on our homepage refresh was a game-changer. They took what we had, improved the structure, cleaned up the visuals, and made the site feel more intentional and aligned with who we are—and it’s been a hit with our employees, customers, and prospects.”
“The team at Oratory not only designed a site that looks sharp and works well, but also created custom product visuals that made our product much easier to understand at a glance. Their process was smooth, collaborative, and really elevated our brand.”
“We started with a website and ended up with a creative partner we trust. The team at Oratory really listens, challenges where needed, and always makes the work stronger.
"The team at Oratory delivered exactly what we needed: a brand and website that made Settel feel like an established company from day one. They made the whole process clear and collaborative. And they went the extra mile on the imagery—working with us to define what images to use to convey complex information. It has certainly helped gain the interest of enterprises looking for a credible partner.”
"We brought Oratory in to refresh one of our most visible properties, and honestly, I didn’t have to babysit a thing. Riley just handled it — I trusted him completely, and that let me focus on other parts of the launch."
"Working with Oratory is a no-brainer if you’re an early-stage startup in need of a nice, clean design."
Frequently asked questions
You’ll receive a Slack invite to a private channel for your project. We’ll confirm timeline, share an intake checklist, and schedule the kickoff workshop.
Slack is home base: quick questions, Loom walk‑throughs, and review links all live in one thread. For key touchpoints, we'll schedule a call as the need arises.
Most startups don't actually need a new logo—they need a visual identity refresh. When we say "brand and web refresh", we are talking specifically about everything around the look and feel of your startup from end-to-end. The logo is one small portion of that, which usually is not the limiting factor holding a company back.
If you really want a new logo, we can help with that; but it isn't a requirement by any means.
We focus on what early‑stage teams need most—a sharp homepage and a clear visual system—using a repeatable sprint framework. No bloated discovery phase, no junior hand‑offs, just senior‑level work done quickly and efficiently.
We work iteratively, so there's never a "big reveal", and we build in room for a couple of revisions at each step along the way. Our business runs on referrals and we strive to go above and beyond to make sure everybody is confident enough to refer us to their friends.
Yes, we have a bunch of work on our gallery page. We can share more specific work relevant to your industry or complete sites on our intro call.
We’re focused on our website refresh packages, but we know how critical great product marketing is—especially on your homepage. We highly recommend working with product marketing experts Fletch PMM, who run fast, fixed‑scope sprints that align perfectly with our process. Let us know if you'd like an intro.
We can help iterate on copy, page layout, and overall page structure—but if you are still trying to refine who you are targeting, how you talk about your product, and need higher level product marketing strategy, you should work with the team at Fletch before we start here.
