Websites for independent businesses
We build and look after individual websites for shops, makers, practitioners, studios and venues. No polished brief required: tell us the ordinary version, and we will get to know the business well enough to work with you as a team.
Choose your route
You do not need to find special website language. Tell us what you do, what keeps getting awkward, and we will shape the route from there.
Independent Commerce & Specialist Practice
Makers, shops, cafes, boutiques, astrologers, energy-work providers and other independent practitioners.
We help people find, buy, book or stock what you offer—and we look after the website for you.
Venues & Membership
Independent gyms, studios, clubs, bars, pubs and small venues.
Keep your timetable, menu, events, bookings and memberships current without becoming a website manager.
The technical bit
Worried about the technical side? With managed care, you give us instructions in ordinary English and get finished results. We ask the right questions instead of handing you homework.
No technical homework
No “site manager” handbook. No “technical overview.” Send the words you would use with a customer, a voice note, a phone photo or a rough list. We turn it into the finished change.
Nothing to get wrong
“What happens if I click the wrong button?”
You can’t click the wrong button if there are no buttons to click.
Bespoke, still affordable
Wix and WordPress themes are not the only way to keep a small-business website affordable. We design around your shop, products, customers and personality—then write lean, purpose-built code rather than squeezing you into somebody else’s layout.
Solianic is AI-hybrid: AI agents coordinate research, design and production, while human partners provide creative direction, verification, communication and practical support. That combination removes repetitive work and keeps a one-off build efficient. You still get a real person to speak to, and Solianic remains responsible for the result.
What happens next
You do not need polished copy, technical language or a folder of perfect images before you contact us. It is our job to understand you well enough that the site feels like something we built together.
Email what you sell or run, what is frustrating you and any useful links. A phone call is fine if talking is easier.
We agree the pages, features, schedule and what ongoing help you want before the work begins.
Phone photos, product lists, menus, voice notes and rough copy are all usable. We organise them and identify any gaps.
You see the site before it goes live. After launch, manage it yourself or simply send us the changes.
No lock-in
You own the finished work. Once the agreed invoices are paid, the custom site, supplied content and design files are yours.
Your domain stays yours. We prefer domains to be registered in your name. If we manage one, we will transfer it on request.
You can leave cleanly. Ongoing care can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice. We provide a practical handover and do not hold your website hostage.
Your first contact
Email is best: send whatever words, photos or links you already have. You do not need to package the problem neatly or sound like a web person. Lisa will come back with useful questions so we can understand the work properly.
