What types of businesses does Shelter 84 work with?

Founders launching new brands, local LA businesses (restaurants, dentists, real estate, retail), and operators modernizing existing companies. We have shipped work for peptide brands, sober living operators, family-run businesses, and entertainment-industry clients. If you can describe what you are building, we can scope it.

How much do projects typically cost?

Engagements start at $1,500. A logo and brand identity package starts at $5,000. A full e-commerce store with payments and SEO starts at $10,000. A complete brand identity program with brand book is $30,000 and up. We send a fixed-price proposal after a 30-minute call. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

How fast can Shelter 84 launch a brand?

Most projects ship in 2 to 4 weeks. We offer Brand In A Day for founders who need a name, voice, identity, and landing page in a single week. Our Storefront Sprint delivers a live e-commerce store with payments and age verification in 2 to 3 weeks. Speed is one of our edges.

Do you help local restaurants get on Uber Eats and DoorDash?

Yes. That is our Local Modernization Pack starting at $3,000. We optimize your Uber Eats and DoorDash catalogs or set them up from scratch, clean up your Google Business profile, build SMS automation, and audit your Google reviews flow. Most local operators see meaningful revenue lift in 30 to 60 days without changing their menu.

What makes Shelter 84 different from a regular agency?

We do brand, web, AI, and operations under one roof. Most founders hire four different vendors to do what we deliver as one connected system. We have launched our own ventures, a peptide brand, a wellness app, a sober living operation, and a holding company, so we build for founders the way we build for ourselves. You own everything when we are done. No agency lock-in.
