Shika Studio

Need us to build for you?

Shika Studio is the client services arm of Shika Group. We work with companies to design and ship websites, products and digital experiences.

What Studio ships

More than a website, when the job asks for it.

01

Corporate and product websites

The site that has to make a serious company look serious, and the one that has to sell a specific thing. Including rebuilds of something that no longer fits.

02

Apps and SaaS interfaces

Software with accounts, state and a daily user. Screens designed for the tenth visit, not the first.

03

Platforms and marketplaces

Two-sided products where the hard part is the flow between the sides, not the landing page in front of them.

04

Directories and data products

Thousands of pages generated from a dataset, each one worth landing on. We have built our own at this scale, twice.

05

AI tools and decision tools

A diagnostic, an answer layer or an internal assistant, built so the user can tell what it actually knows and where it stops.

06

3D and motion experiences

Scroll-driven, cinematic and art-directed, for launches and for products that need to be felt rather than explained.

07

Internal tools and prototypes

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

Starting from nothing tidy

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

You do not need a specification, a brand book or a finished plan. Most projects start with a mess, and that is normal.

You send

  • A deck.
  • A half-finished website.
  • Screenshots and notes.
  • Brand assets, or none.
  • A folder of photographs.
  • Three examples you like.

You get back

  • A website.
  • An app.
  • A platform.
  • A working prototype.
  • A product experience.
  • Something real to react to.

Client work

The work is the argument.

How we work

Less process.
More progress.

01

Show us the business

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

02

Show us what you like

Three sites you love is a perfectly good brief. Then we come back with a shape and a fixed proposal, so you see the number before any work begins.

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, and readable by search engines and answer engines. The domain, the hosting and the code are yours.

Industry entry points

Different worlds, different rules.

If one of these is you, start there. If none of them is, that changes nothing about what we can build.

Biotech and life sciences

Complex science, made credible to investors, partners and regulators.

Professional services

Firms whose website has to carry the authority the partners already have.

Salons and aesthetics

Beauty businesses that need to look as good online as they do in person.

Startups and technology

Launches, product sites and the thing you need live before the raise.

Healthcare and clinics

Clear, calm and trustworthy, for people making a decision about their health.

Hospitality

Places people choose with their eyes, then book with their thumbs.

Common questions

Before you ask.

What does a project cost?
Every project is scoped individually, because a one-page launch site and a data platform are not the same job. Tell us what you need and we will come back with a clear fixed proposal before any work begins. No hourly billing, no surprises at the end.
How long does it take?
Faster than you expect, because we skip the theatre. You will usually see a real working version early, then we refine together. The honest answer depends on how much content exists and how quickly you can react to what we show you.
What if I do not have content, photos or a logo?
Very common, and not a blocker. We can write, structure and art-direct, and we will tell you plainly where a photographer or an illustrator is worth paying for and where it is not. Tell us what you have on the enquiry form and we will plan around it.
Do I own what you build?
Yes. The domain, the hosting and the finished build are yours. We do not hold anything hostage.
Do you use AI to build things?
We use good tools, including AI, the same way any modern studio uses good tools. It is not what you are buying. You are buying judgement about what your business should say, and the execution to make that look and work like it was made on purpose.
Will it be found in Google and in AI answers?
Everything we ship is checked before launch for clean structure, correct metadata, sitemaps and crawler access, including the crawlers behind AI answer engines. We will not promise you a ranking, because nobody honest can. We will make sure nothing on your side is in the way.
Can you build something that is not a website?
Yes, and we would rather you asked. Shika builds and runs its own apps, directories, AI tools and data products, so an unusual brief is normal here rather than an exception.

Start a project

Tell us what you have got.

You do not need a polished brief. Send the deck, the half-finished site, the folder of photographs, or three sentences about what you do.
