What alius does

Alius Business Solutions (operating as alius) is a privately held, individually owned digital creative agency based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, founded circa 1999 by sole creative professional Alexander Morales-Sang. The firm targets small businesses and entrepreneurs, delivering website design and development, branding and visual identity, packaging and print design, outdoor and digital advertising, motion graphics and video, and social media creative services. Its offering is organized as five tiered service packages (Basic WordPress site at $500, Interactive site at $1,500, Shopify eCommerce store at $2,750, Startup Branding from $1,200, and Premium Branding Total from $4,800) supplemented by à la carte services (logos from $395, redesign from $795, motion/video from $895, packaging from $795) and an AI-assisted social media advertising add-on from $495.

The underlying technology stack is conventional and non-proprietary: WordPress with custom templates powers the website builds, Shopify handles eCommerce implementations, and standard integrations cover payment gateways, inventory and shipping configuration, contact forms, live chat, Google Analytics, and basic-to-advanced SEO. No API, SDK, proprietary models, or patents are disclosed; the agency's primary intangible assets are its cross-discipline portfolio (logos, websites, print, packaging, motion graphics) and the founder's claimed 25+ years of design experience.

The business model is predominantly transactional: one-time project fees for design, branding, and web builds, with a thin recurring component from website maintenance subscriptions starting at $195/month (bundled into the Premium package as 12 months of 4-hour/month service). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the company website using portfolio, SEO, and free-consultation contact forms; no partners, resellers, or institutional channels are disclosed. The company is bootstrapped with no external funding, no parent entity, and a headcount of approximately 5, making it a micro-agency whose principal asset is the founder's individual creative capacity.

Direct peers

• 99designs (by Vista): Global freelance design marketplace connecting SMB clients with designers for logos, branding, web, and packaging work. Directly competes with Alius for the same small business customer and same service categories, though at a different delivery model (marketplace vs. agency).
• Fiverr: Global freelance services marketplace with deep offerings in logo design, branding, WordPress websites, Shopify stores, motion graphics, and social media ads. Competes for the same SMB buyers as Alius, often at lower price points driven by global freelancer supply.
• Shopify Partners (Agency Program): Global network of agencies and freelancers certified to build Shopify stores for SMB merchants. Competes with Alius's Shopify eCommerce package ($2,750) for online store design and setup work, often at varying price points.
• Design Pickle: Subscription-based graphic design service providing unlimited design requests for a flat monthly fee, targeting SMBs and startups. Competes for the same ongoing branding, social, and design work that Alius offers, with a more standardized subscription delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• Squarespace: DIY website builder with template-driven design, eCommerce, and built-in branding tools marketed to entrepreneurs and SMBs. Competes by enabling customers to bypass agencies like Alius entirely, particularly at the entry-level Basic and Intermediate package price points.
• Wix.com: DIY website and branding platform with Wix Logo Maker, Ascend business tools, and template-driven site builder. Targets the same entrepreneur segment as Alius's Basic and Intermediate packages and represents a substitution threat for budget-conscious SMBs.
• GoDaddy (Web Design Services): Large incumbent offering domain, hosting, DIY site builder, and managed web design services targeted at small businesses. Directly competes with Alius for budget-tier website design and maintenance contracts.

Emerging players

• Canva (Canva Pro / Canva for Business): DIY design platform with AI-assisted logo, brand kit, social media template, and motion graphics tools. Increasingly substitutes for entry-level branding and social media design services that Alius bundles into its Basic and Intermediate packages.
