The short answer
WebFX is a strong choice if you want one large agency to run your website, SEO and paid ads together, with an account manager and reporting platform, and you have the budget: its web design starts at $8,000 a site.
Hungry Ram is the better fit if your priority is the website itself: a custom design from the people who build it, a CRM included, a launch in 4–6 weeks, and a site you own outright, starting at a lower price.

Size
A large agency vs a focused studio
The bottom line
WebFX brings scale and many services. Hungry Ram brings focus on your website and direct access to the people building it.
Large agencies are built for breadth: SEO, paid ads, content, social and websites, managed through account and project managers. That suits companies that want one partner for all of their marketing.
A studio works differently. You talk with the people designing and building your site, decisions happen faster, and the website gets the full attention instead of being one line in a larger marketing retainer.
Cost
What a new website costs
The bottom line
WebFX’s web design starts at $8,000 a site. Hungry Ram’s starts at $5,000, with a CRM included in the care plan.
WebFX publishes a starting price of $8,000 per site, with copywriting and features like ecommerce or integrations priced on top.
Hungry Ram custom websites start at $5,000 for the build, then a care plan from $149 a month that covers hosting, updates and HungryHub, including a CRM for your leads. If you later want SEO or Google Ads, they’re available as separate services rather than bundled in.
