Design and development studio

Websites, apps and the systems between them.

A small studio of designers and engineers. We build the website, the app and the connections between them, so your business runs as one system instead of five tools.

  • Designed by people, sped up by AI
  • Fixed price per milestone

Websites and online stores

Websites that do the selling.

Designed around what customers need to know before they buy. Fast on a phone, found in search and in AI answers, and edited by your own team without calling us.

Mobile apps for iOS and Android

Apps your customers keep.

For the things a website cannot do: live order tracking, a loyalty card that is always in the pocket, a booking in two taps. Built on the same accounts and data as your site, and taken through both app stores.

Integrations, APIs and internal tools

All of it, connected.

Most businesses run on tools that don't talk to each other. We connect the ones you already use, Shopify, Stripe, Xero, HubSpot and their kind, and build the one screen your team opens every morning. An order placed in the app shows up in stock, accounts and the courier's queue without anyone retyping it.

How we use AI

Built faster with AI.
Finished by people.

AI drafts, checks and clears the routine work. Your budget goes where it matters: understanding your customers, designing something that is yours, and engineering it properly.

Your dashboardEvery client gets a private project dashboard: what shipped this week, what is in review, what is next and the hours used. Live, not a weekly email.

A site builder gives you a template in minutes. We give you a product built around your business, that you own, and people you can call when it needs to change.

Every design decision and every line of code is reviewed by a person before it reaches you.

For small and growing businesses ready to step up.

Every input you have, orders, bookings, payments, invoices and messages, pulled into one custom dashboard. The morning check takes five minutes, not five tabs.

  • Founders

    Launching a first product and need design and engineering under one roof.

  • Online stores

    Ready to move past a template theme and sell across web and app.

  • Service businesses

    Bookings, field crews and client portals, running on one system instead of a calendar, a group chat and a spreadsheet.

  • Growing teams

    Replacing spreadsheets and copy-paste with software built around how they work.

About

A small studio, on purpose.

Majural Studios is led by one designer-engineer, working with a small circle of specialists when a project needs them: a photographer, a copywriter, a second developer. AI does the routine work. People decide what ships.

That shape is the point. You talk to the person doing the work, every week, and nothing is lost between a sales call and a build team. It suits small and growing businesses that want one accountable partner rather than a roster.

We build our own products too (WindowFinesse, ThisSimple, Chronos), so we live with the same decisions we ask you to make.

  • Clinics and practices
  • Trades and home services
  • Restaurants and cafes
  • Retail and ecommerce
  • Professional services
  • Real estate and property
  • Hospitality and travel
  • Fitness and wellness
  • Education and training
  • Not-for-profits
  • Manufacturing and wholesale
  • Startups and founders

How a project moves through the studio.

  1. Discover

    1 to 2 weeks

    We talk with you and your customers, look at what you run today, and agree a scope with a fixed price for the first milestone.

  2. Design

    2 to 4 weeks

    Wireframes, then clickable prototypes you can tap through and test with real users before any production code.

  3. Build

    4 to 12 weeks

    Weekly releases to a private preview link, so you see progress and give feedback as it happens.

  4. Launch and care

    Ongoing

    We run the launch, watch it for the first weeks, and hand over a runbook your next developer could work from. Then a monthly plan for fixes and new features, if you want one.

Standard pace: one milestone at a time, weekly releases

Questions people ask us

Will the site show up in Google and in AI answers?

We build for both. Technical and local SEO, structured data on every page type, fast pages, and content written so that ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers can find it, quote it and link back. Rankings cannot be promised by anyone honest; the groundwork and the measurement can, and the quarterly review in a care plan keeps it moving.

Where is the site hosted, and who owns it?

On your own accounts: Cloudflare, Vercel, Shopify or a WordPress host, whichever fits. Domains, hosting, analytics and code are in your name from day one. If you leave us, nothing has to move.

What does a project cost?

Marketing sites start around $2,500, online stores and booking sites from $7,500, and apps, portals and custom systems from $12,000, quoted on scope. Prices are in Canadian dollars, plus tax. Every price is fixed per milestone and agreed before any work starts. After discovery you get a fixed price for the first milestone, so there are no open-ended bills.

Do you use AI to build websites?

Yes, as a tool. It helps us draft, test and move faster on routine work. People design, decide and review everything, so you get something made for your business rather than a generated template.

How long does it take?

A marketing site takes about 4 to 8 weeks. An app or custom system usually takes 3 to 6 months, released in stages so you can use parts of it sooner.

Do you work with startups and small businesses?

Yes. Most of our work is for founders and growing businesses, and we scope projects to fit an early-stage budget.

Can you work with our existing site, app or developers?

Yes. We can redesign or extend what you have, connect to the tools you already use, and work alongside your in-house team.

Who owns the code and designs?

You do. Everything we make for you, including source code, design files and accounts, is handed over in your name.

What happens after launch?

We watch the launch for 30 days and fix anything that comes up at no charge. After that, a monthly plan for updates, new features and support, if you want one.

Do you handle hosting?

Yes. We set up hosting on accounts in your name, so you stay in control and pay providers directly.

Why hire a studio rather than a freelancer or an AI site builder?

You get design and engineering in one team, plus the systems work that builders and single freelancers rarely cover: integrations, apps and internal tools that grow with you.
