Websites for independent businesses
We build and look after individual websites for shops, makers, practitioners, studios and venues—so customers can find you, buy, book or join without you becoming a website manager.
Choose your route
Tell us what kind of business you run. We will show you a sensible starting point, what it costs and what happens next.
Independent Commerce & Specialist Practice
Makers, specialist shops, astrologers, readers, 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. No jargon. No homework.
No technical homework
No “site manager” handbook. No “technical overview.” Send a plain-English email, 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.
Changes can be this simple: “The Saturday class is now at eleven. Please move it up the page.”
Tell Lisa the ordinary-English version →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.
Selected builds & example briefs
A mix of live work and clearly labelled examples of how we would solve common independent-business problems.
A custom boutique catalogue and shopping journey for artful editions—built to let the objects and visual identity lead.
View the prototype →A lightweight custom system for collecting and presenting stories without asking the owner to wrestle with a bulky page builder.
View the build →A calm, credible home for an independent astrologer, bringing remote appointments, deposits, preparation notes, courses and repeat bookings into one clear journey.
A character-led neighbourhood venue site with opening times, seasonal menus, live events and table booking in the places visitors actually look—and one simple route for owner updates.
What happens next
You do not need a brief, polished copy or a folder of perfect images before you contact us.
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, price, schedule and what ongoing help you want before the work begins.
Phone photos, price 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 a few rough notes, photos or links and Lisa will come back with useful questions. If you would rather talk, include your number and a good time to call. No polished brief and no hard sell.
