A small studio for small businesses.
Automica builds websites and web apps for the people who run their own business day to day. Plumbers, dentists, cafes, accountants, clinics, trades, consultancies. The kind of owner who pays the invoice out of their own account and wants to know exactly what they are paying for.
The old way priced you out.
A proper website used to mean a five-figure quote, three months of meetings and a developer you never spoke to directly. For a chain of clinics, fine. For a sole trader with a van and a phone, ridiculous.
The cheap end of the market is not much better. Template builders, monthly subscriptions that creep up every year, and a site that looks the same as every competitor on the high street.
AI changed the maths. The boring parts of building a site (boilerplate, forms, payment plumbing, login flows) now take hours, not weeks. That makes a properly built, properly designed site affordable for an owner paying out of their own pocket. That is the gap we fill.
Four things we do not budge on.
One price, agreed up front
You know what the site costs before we write a line of code. No hourly clocks ticking in the background, no scope creep dressed up as a change request.
Talk to the builder
Whoever picks up your brief is the same person designing and building it. No account manager sitting between you and the work.
Ship in days
AI takes the slow parts (boilerplate, layout, integrations) and turns them into hours instead of weeks. We use that time to get your site live, not to pad the timeline.
Your site, your data
You own the domain, the code and every record in the database. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, the door is open.
Big brands, agencies, brochure projects.
If you have a marketing director, a procurement process and a brand guidelines PDF that runs to 80 pages, we are not the right shop. Hire a proper agency, they earn their fees.
If you are another agency or freelance designer wanting us to white-label the work, also not for us. We work direct with owners. That is where we add value, and that is where our prices make sense.
We are for the people running the business, signing the cheques and answering the phone themselves.
