Capabilities
One studio connects the commercial problem to the product experience and the working software.
How we work
We map the problem, the users and the constraints. You get a written summary of what we heard and what matters most.
Scope, journey and priorities agreed. You get a delivery plan, a fixed first milestone and a price in writing.
Design and engineering in tight, visible cycles. You get working software to click through, not status reports.
Tested, connected to your tools and put in front of real users. You get the live product, the code and the handover.
Optional. We measure how it's used and keep refining — or hand it over entirely and step back.
Investment
Starting points, not fixed packages. We confirm the scope and the price in writing on the strategy call, before any work begins.
Product Blueprint
Starting from
£1,500
A paid strategy and scope engagement for founders and teams who need clarity before committing to a build.
Best for a validated idea, complex workflow, or business problem that needs a clear plan before development starts.
MVP Launch Sprint or first AI workflow
Starting from
£5,000
A focused first version of a product, or one costly workflow automated end to end.
Multi-workflow AI operations systems
Starting from
£15,000+
Larger internal tools and AI operations systems spanning several workflows.
Written scope, fixed price
Scope and price confirmed in writing before any work starts. No surprises mid-project.
Fixed first milestone
The first deliverable is agreed up front with a fixed price and date, so you can judge us on real output fast.
No-obligation strategy call
The first conversation is free. You leave with a clearer plan either way — even if we never work together.
Every project is unique. Final pricing depends on complexity, features and business goals.
Not sure which offer fits? Bring the workflow that slows you down and we'll map the shortest route to a working product.
Why Studio89
We help people create, automate and scale digital businesses using modern technology and AI.
You talk to the person doing the thinking, not an account manager relaying it. Plain language, no jargon tax.
We agree the smallest version that solves the real problem, then build that properly instead of half of something larger.
Working across the UK, South Africa, and international time zones with a practical, founder-led delivery model.
Scope, price and the first deliverable agreed in writing before work starts, with visible progress between them.
We design and build our own software ventures alongside client work, using them to test product decisions, user journeys, automation, and launch processes in the real world.
From a paid Product Blueprint through to focused MVPs and larger AI operations systems, with scope and investment agreed before work begins.

Web apps, mobile apps, AI-powered products, internal tools and automated customer journeys — for founders, service businesses, agencies, consultants and more.
Product Blueprints start from £1,500. Build and automation projects are scoped separately based on the problem, required workflow, integrations, and delivery complexity. You receive the price in writing before work begins.
It depends on scope — anything from a single day for a focused build to a few weeks for a launch sprint or a larger automation system. You get a clear timeline before we start.
We use a modern, best-fit technology stack chosen for the job rather than a fixed template, and AI-assisted tooling where it genuinely speeds up delivery. We keep the choices explainable in plain language.
No. Most people we work with run businesses rather than engineering teams. We translate the workflow into a plan and keep you updated in plain language.
You do. Ownership of the product, the code and the accounts transfers to you at handover — there is no lock-in to us.
Design and build run in visible cycles, and feedback within the agreed scope is part of the work. Anything that changes the scope is quoted separately before it starts, so nothing lands as a surprise invoice.
Work is split into milestones. The first milestone is agreed up front with a fixed price and date, and later stages are invoiced as they complete. Smaller packages can be paid securely online.
Usually, yes. If a tool has an API or an export, we can generally connect it. We confirm what is realistic during the strategy call rather than promising it blind.
We only handle the data needed to build and run your product, and it stays yours. Our privacy policy explains what the website itself collects.
That is normal, and the milestone structure exists for it. We re-scope the remaining work openly, agree the new price in writing, and carry on.
You own the product and the code. Ongoing improvement is optional — take it in-house or keep us involved.
Bring the idea or the manual process that costs your team time. You leave the call with a clearer plan either way — no obligation.
We only use your details to reply about your enquiry. Privacy policy
