Brand and website builds for businesses that need them to earn.

No handoff. The person who designs it builds it,
and keeps it working after launch.
Selected work


Everyone swipes on their own phone and it finds the overlap. No arguing, no spreadsheet. Designed and built by us, from a sketch to a live web app and native apps on iOS and Android, with paid subscriptions through Paddle.


Studio Rowan handed over their brand guidelines and their first product: a washable slider for hotels and spas, made to replace the disposable slippers that get worn for a few minutes and binned. We built it as one page that tells the story as you scroll. It opens on 70,000 dots, one for every pair a single hotel throws away in a year. Further down you can drag the slider round and look at it from every side, then put in how many pairs a hotel gets through and see the saving in pounds and in kilos of landfill. The last section takes pilot applications and preorders for the first shipment in April 2027.


A crew member with a fault at 8am wants 4 electricians in La Ciotat by 9, not a directory to scroll. So it works by port and by problem: 292 companies across 129 ports, quotes back the same morning. Or message Yotto on WhatsApp, an AI assistant that takes the problem and finds the providers for you. Separate logins for crew, management and providers, card payments through Stripe. Designed and built by us, and new features go live without breaking the ones captains already rely on.


Turn the wheel to a feeling, read what 5 traditions have to say about it. Small brief, finished in weeks. Loads instantly, installs on a phone like an app, and costs nothing to keep online, so it will still be there next year without anyone thinking about it.


A holiday home that wanted to take bookings directly. Guests check dates and book on the site, on a phone or a laptop, and the owner has a dashboard for the calendar, prices and enquiries. Live since 2020 and still taking bookings, which is the whole point.
Services
04- 01
Brand identity

Websites
Sites built to bring in enquiries and bookings, and measured on how many they bring in.
- 03
Web apps
Booking systems, client portals and internal tools, for when the site has to do more than describe the business.

Ongoing care
Hosting, updates and a monthly report on what the site brought in.
Process
04Every project runs in the same 4 phases. Each one ends with a sign-off and a payment, and nothing moves on until you're happy with it. Most design processes stop at the handover to a developer. This one ends with the site live and taking enquiries.

FAQ
What it costs
Each phase has a fixed price, agreed before it starts, so there are no open-ended invoices. Discover is a small fixed-price first step, and it ends with a firm quote for everything after it.
