Booking systems, staff dashboards, stock control and customer portals built around your processes - not a generic template.
Bespoke software studio
Generic software wasn't built for your front desk, your workshop, or your kitchen.
We build websites, apps and AI around how your business actually runs.

FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
No jargon, no runaround - just the information you need to decide if we're a good fit.
Every project is different, so we provide a fixed quote after our initial free chat. Simple brochure websites typically start from a few hundred pounds, while bespoke web apps and booking systems are scoped individually. You'll always know the full cost before any work begins - no hidden fees or surprise invoices.
A straightforward website can be live within 2 - 4 weeks. More complex web apps, payment integrations, or AI tools usually take 4 - 12 weeks depending on scope. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout.
Yes - we don't disappear once your project goes live. We offer maintenance plans covering updates, security patches, backups, and small content changes. If something breaks, you call us directly and we fix it.
You do. Upon full payment, ownership of your project transfers to you as set out in your agreement. We don't hold your site or data hostage - it's yours to keep, move or develop further.
We focus on practical AI that saves you time - automated email replies, smart scheduling, document summarisation, and chatbots trained on your business info. We integrate tools that fit your workflow and explain exactly what they do.
Often, yes. We regularly connect websites and apps to booking tools, payment providers, CRMs, spreadsheets and industry-specific software. Tell us what you're using and we'll be upfront about what's possible.
That's who we built AKA for. Salons, trades, clinics, restaurants, retailers and other local businesses with tight budgets, busy teams, and software that should just work without fuss.
