Your Digital Architect.
For independent businesses, specialist practitioners and small SaaS founders whose operations don't fit an off-the-shelf platform. Discovery → blueprint → bespoke build → ongoing partnership. Part digital business architect, part AI solutions architect — one practice, one name on the project from discovery to steward.
Based in Farnham, Surrey. We're also an authorised SOFAKING reseller — most clients start there. If you're here, you've probably outgrown the moulds.
Architecture vs off the shelf.
If you've come from the homepage, you've seen the two-paths summary. Here's the long version: when each is right, what changes, what you walk away with.
| Aspect | SOFAKING (off the shelf) | Miaigi Architecture (bespoke) |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Pick a vertical and tier from the catalogue. | We start from your business — no catalogue. |
| Time to live | Days to a few weeks. Pre-architected. | Discovery + blueprint up front. 6–12 weeks typical. |
| Pricing | Fixed tiers. Published online. Configure in the assessment. | Discovery + blueprint fixed. Build quoted from blueprint. Retainer optional. |
| What you walk away with | A working SOFAKING tier, deployed. | Architecture documentation, custom Next.js stack, AI-agent governance, ongoing partner. |
| When to choose this | You match a vertical. The blueprints fit. | Your business is specialist, regulated, novel, or you want strategic input before code. |
Four signals you're past off-the-shelf.
Your business doesn't fit a template
Therapists, solicitors, multi-clinic practices, regulated industries, novel service lines. The off-the-shelf SOFAKING blueprints assume a recognisable shape; if your practice doesn't have one, you need a digital architect — for therapists, lawyers and specialist clinics, that's usually from day one.
You need systems to talk to each other
Web + booking + CRM + accounting + AI receptionist + content engine. Each one off the shelf. None of them coordinated. An architect designs the connections, not just the parts.
You're hitting a strategic decision
Add eCommerce or stay marketing-only? Build a SaaS or productise the service? Go all-in on AI or hold off? An architect's blueprint answers these before code is written — much cheaper than answering them mid-build.
You want a partner, not a vendor
Vendors disappear after launch. Architects stay on the project. If you want the same name on the project in five years — same brain, same notes, same Slack channel — an architect is the engagement model.
How an architect's engagement runs.
- 観
一 · Discovery
A 90-minute structured call. We learn the business model, the systems you already run, and the friction. You leave the same week with a written read-back — the architecture as we heard it, in your words. If it doesn't reflect the practice, we rewrite it until it does.
- 図
二 · Blueprint
A written architecture document. What systems exist, what's missing, where AI fits, what the connected stack looks like, what the build will cost, what the ongoing stewardship looks like. Yours to keep, even if you build elsewhere.
- 造
三 · Build
Bespoke Next.js, Azure-deployed, instant CI/CD. We design and code it; AI accelerates delivery; you review at the milestones written into the blueprint. Two formal review rounds, daily Slack contact.
- 出
四 · Go live
Migration, monitoring, handover. Documentation written for the next person — including a future you. Architecture diagrams, operations runbooks, AI-agent governance notes, full GitHub access.
- 守
五 · Steward
Ongoing partnership. Monthly system reviews, AI agents tuned, content + integrations evolved. The architect stays on the project — not a junior, not an account manager. You always have the same name on the other end.
Three doors. Same architect.
