Small studio · Real products · Live today

Software small businesses actually run on.

We design, build and keep running the everyday systems behind a business: the website and menu, the bookings and queue, the tools staff reach for. One person to talk to, no agency layers, no commission on your sales.

Four products, four problems, one way of working.

Every one of these is a real product in day-to-day use, not a template. Here's what each one does.

Thai Kitchen UK

An independent Thai restaurant in Croydon. Before: a dead Wix site and menus retyped by hand in three places. Now: staff change a price once and it's right everywhere.

  • Public website with a live menu, allergens and deals
  • One admin feeds the website, printed menus and leaflets
  • Window TV screen with dated promos and seasonal animation
  • Phone order pad and kitchen screen, in English and Thai
  • Staff accounts with permissions, two-factor login, nightly backups

PDF Toolkit

Private browser tools · subscription productLive

An alternative to Adobe and Smallpdf. Everything runs inside your own browser tab, so contracts and payslips never touch a server.

  • 15 PDF tools: merge, compress, redact, fill & sign, OCR, compare and more
  • Zero network requests while your files are processed
  • Sister apps: invoices & quotes, expense log, dividend tax, image tools
  • £5/month subscriptions through Stripe, verified on the server

BarberBot

Booking & walk-in queue for barbershopsDemo on request

Barbershops run on walk-ins and bookings at the same time, and most booking apps only handle one. BarberBot plans every chair across both, so the wait it shows customers is the real wait.

  • Online booking, with no app for customers to download
  • Live walk-in queue with honest wait times, on phones and a shop TV
  • SMS confirmations and reminders to cut no-shows
  • Pick-your-barber with each barber's own weekly schedule
  • Owner panel, deposits and subscriptions through Stripe

RealPattayaBars

Directory & local SEOLive

A directory of real, currently open bars in Pattaya. Listings come from public map data, get checked for recent signs of life, and are approved by a person, so visitors never turn up at a bar that closed last year.

  • 642 bars listed, each with its own page built to be found on Google
  • Browse by 26 areas and 12 styles, or search near you, in English and Thai
  • Owners claim their listing for free, with paid upgrades; the first owner has already claimed
  • Sourcing pipeline that merges duplicates and filters out closed bars before review
