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.

We build brands.

Identity, photography, motion, e-commerce, apps, operations, AI, and the systems behind them. Built end-to-end for founders shipping real things.

What We Build

Nine areas, all under one roof. Most founders hire four different vendors to do what we do. We do it as one connected system, in weeks, not quarters.

Names, logos, voice, visual systems, decks, brand books, OG images, packaging, print collateral, retail displays. The work that makes a brand recognizable and consistent across every surface. Standalone naming starting at $5K. Logo and identity package starting at $5K. Full identity program with brand book starting at $30K.
Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace, or custom — whatever fits the brand's category and constraints. Including the parts most builders skip: alternative payments, age gates, affiliate plumbing, libraries, inventory tied to actual physical stock.
Single-file React apps with AI throughout. Internal tools, admin dashboards, scheduling apps, inventory consoles. The kind of tools founders pay engineering teams to build over six months. We ship in weeks.
Inventory workflows. Onboarding briefs. Vendor evaluations. Hiring shortlists with real candidates ranked. SOPs. The work that turns a chaotic startup into something a new hire can actually understand on day one.
Pro formas with real formulas, not Notion tables. Capital structure visualization. Profit-split models with scenario testing. Real estate flip models with editable inputs.
Claude installed as an operator inside the business. Project memory, working rules, weekly automated briefs that catch what's slipping, scheduled tasks that run in the background. The OS we built for ourselves first.
Uber Eats and DoorDash catalog optimization. SMS automation (Twilio). Email automation audits. Google Business setup. The unglamorous work that doubles a local business's revenue without changing the menu.
Pipeline trackers. Outreach templates. Prospect lists pulled and qualified. Weekly sales scorecards. The system underneath sales, not just the sales themselves.
Capital sheet digitization. Partnership operating-agreement review and reframe. Networking event shortlists with outreach plans. Niche, but where the buyers have real money and almost no good vendors.
High-end product, lifestyle, and editorial photography. We art-direct, shoot, and deliver. Includes body double photoshoots and full casting (we find the right faces and bodies for the brand). Shoots happen on-location or in studio space we coordinate. Half-day shoot starting at $1,500. Product photography starting at $3K. Lifestyle and editorial campaigns starting at $8K. Founder portraits starting at $2K. Casting and body doubles starting at $2K standalone or priced into the shoot.
Motion posters, brand films, social cutdowns, motion graphics, hero loops for websites, animated logos, transitions, product demos, and short-form commercial work. The thing that makes a brand actually move on social and in pitch decks. Motion posters: $2 to $5K each. Brand films and short commercials: $8 to $25K. Motion graphics packages: $3 to $10K.
Custom websites for individual property listings and for real estate agents. Single-home microsites for off-market or premium listings (photography, video tour, floor plans, neighborhood context, agent contact). Full agent and team brand sites with listings, market reports, and lead capture. Built for the kind of agent or seller who refuses to look like everyone else on Zillow. Listing site from $1,500 setup + $99/mo. Agent and team brand site from $3,500 setup + $399/mo. One-time pricing also available.

Nine ways to start.

The bundles below are packaged engagements. Most projects start as one of these and expand as we go.
