Websites and apps that fit the way your business works.

Introductory studio pricing

Three small beginnings.

These are intentionally modest first offers. A project can stay small, or grow through clearly priced additions after the first useful version.

From a customer-facing catalog to software that runs the work.

Draft for client approval · not a published quotation

Shiba made it easier for customers to explore our large catalog and get useful local product guidance, while giving us an administrative system for the information behind the site.

Draft for client approval · not a published quotation

Shiba preserved the personal phone-based way we serve riders while building a booking and operations system that can expand with our drivers and staff.

05 / Look + feel

A useful amount of choice

Four visual foundations. No infinite design maze.

01

Paper & Light

Watercolor, warm paper, organic linework

02

Warm Modern

Friendly color, useful hierarchy, open spacing

03

Clear Professional

Quiet, precise, and familiar

04

After Dark

Focused, high-contrast, operational

Shiba App Studio uses Paper & Light: expressive watercolor details with restrained, readable structure.

06 / Client project room

Facts, not status-chasing

Clients can sign in and see what is true about their project.

Approved client users receive a private project room. It can hold the current phase, agreed scope, next action, decisions, provider ownership, important links, launch facts, and handoff notes.

This is a private example—not a real client record.

07 / Management + handoff

The client chooses the relationship

Own it, share the work, or let me manage it.

Production accounts can be client-owned from the beginning. When Shiba temporarily hosts something, that arrangement is disclosed and kept transfer-ready.

08 / Begin

Start with a rough idea

What would make the business a little easier?

I’ll look for the smallest useful first version and explain the price before work begins. There is no requirement to turn it into a large project.
