Shika Group

Bring us the idea. We’ll build the thing.

Websites, apps, platforms and digital experiences for companies that need more than a template.

A website is one of the answers. It is not the only one.

Built for clients. And built by us.

Every project below carries a label, because something we built for ourselves and a job we were hired for are not the same claim.

What Shika builds

What that actually means.

01

Websites and digital experiences

Corporate sites, product sites, launch pages and the cinematic, scroll-driven kind. The thing most people arrive asking for, done properly.

02

Apps and platforms

Software with accounts, state and a job to do. Interfaces for people who use them every day, not once.

03

Directories and data products

Ten thousand pages that each have to be worth landing on. Pipeline, structure, editorial voice and search, treated as one design problem.

04

AI tools and intelligence products

Diagnostics, decision tools and answer layers. Built so a person can tell what the machine actually knows, and where it stops.

05

Internal systems and prototypes

The unglamorous tool that removes a bottleneck, and the working prototype that settles an argument faster than a deck ever will.

How Shika is put together

Built for clients.
Built for ourselves.

The same studio that makes client websites also launches and operates its own digital products. That changes how we build.

Shika Studio

We build for other people.

Companies come to us with something to launch, something to fix, or something they cannot yet describe.

Shika Studio

Shika Group

We build for ourselves.

We own and operate our own products. That is why we know what a launch costs and what breaks at scale.

The brief can be messy.

You do not need a specification. Give us what you have got and we will turn it into something you can react to.

  • A deck.
  • A half-finished website.
  • Your company LinkedIn.
  • A folder of photographs.
  • A Word document.
  • Three websites you love.
  • A few sentences.

How we work

Less process.
More progress.

01

Show us the business

Whatever exists. We read it properly before we ask you a single question we could have answered ourselves.

02

Show us what you like

Three sites you love is a perfectly good brief. Pointing at something is faster than describing it.

03

See your website

Not a mood board. The actual thing, in a browser, on your phone. It is far easier to react to something than to imagine it.

04

Shape it together

You tell us what is right and what is not. We move it until it is yours, not ours.

05

Go live

Live, fast, readable by search engines and answer engines, and handed over so you are not held hostage to us.

Start a project

Give us what you have got. We will figure out the rest.

Tell us what you are trying to build. A website, an app, a platform, a directory, an AI tool, or something you do not have a word for yet.

Every project is scoped individually. Once we understand what you need, we will give you a clear fixed proposal before work begins.
