Bespoke builds
Your digital architect.
For independent businesses, specialist practitioners and small software founders who do not fit a standard website, online shop or booking site. We start with a discovery, write you a blueprint, quote the build from it, and stay on afterwards if you want us to. You deal with the same person from the first call onwards.
Based in Farnham, Surrey. Our standard builds run on Sofakingsoft. This page is for businesses that have outgrown a standard build.
Standard build or bespoke
The two side by side, so you can see which one you are.
| Compared on | Sofakingsoft (standard build) | Miaigi Architecture (bespoke) |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | You pick a website, an online shop or a booking site. | We start from how your business works. |
| Time to live | Built in 7 to 14 days. | The blueprint sets the timescale, before any build work starts. |
| Pricing | Fixed and published. Price it yourself in the quote builder. | Discovery and blueprint are £495, fixed. The build is quoted from the blueprint. The retainer is optional. |
| What you walk away with | A working site, live. | The written blueprint, a custom build with its documentation, notes on how any AI agents are run, and us on hand afterwards if you want. |
| When to choose this | Your business looks like one of the standard builds. | Your business is specialist or regulated, or you want the thinking done before the building. |
When a standard build is not enough
01
Your business doesn't fit a template
The standard builds assume a familiar shape: a brochure site, a shop, a diary of bookings. Therapists, solicitors, clinics with several sites and regulated trades often do not have that shape, and need a design of their own from day one.
02
You need systems to talk to each other
Website, bookings, customer records, accounts, an AI receptionist. You can buy each of them off the shelf, and none of them will know about the others. Somebody has to design how they join up.
03
You have a big decision to make
Add a shop or stay as you are. Sell the service or turn it into software. Bring in AI now or wait. Working it out on paper first costs far less than finding out halfway through a build.
04
You want someone who stays
On a retainer, the architect who designed your system keeps looking after it, with the same notes and the same history.
How it runs
- DiscoveryA 90-minute call about how the business runs, the systems you already have and where they get in your way. You get it back in writing, in your own words. If we have got it wrong, we rewrite it until it is right.
- BlueprintA written document: what you have, what is missing, where AI fits, how it all joins up, what the build will cost and what looking after it will cost. It is yours to keep, even if you build elsewhere.
- BuildWe design it and build it, with AI speeding up the coding. You review the work at each milestone written into the blueprint. It is built on Next.js and hosted on Azure.
- Go liveWe move your data across, switch the system on and watch it. You get documentation written for whoever picks it up next: diagrams, a manual for running it, notes on how the AI agents are governed, and full access to the code on GitHub.
- CareIf you take the retainer, the architect reviews the system with you every month, tunes the AI agents and keeps the content and the connections up to date. It is the same person who designed it.
Three ways to work with us
Start with the discovery. Nothing gets built until it has been written down.
Start here
Discovery & blueprint
£495 fixed
A 90-minute call and a written blueprint: what to build, what to build it with, where AI agents fit and how it should be run. Yours to keep, even if you build elsewhere.
Book the £495 discoveryStep two
Bespoke build
Quoted from blueprint
A custom build that you own outright, on Next.js and Azure, with AI agents where the blueprint calls for them. The cost and the timescale are set in the blueprint before any work starts.
Start with discoveryOngoing
Architect on retainer
£495 a month
One day a month with the architect, and full care of what we built for you. For businesses that want the thinking to carry on after launch.
Ask about a retainerWe work from Farnham, Surrey, with independent businesses across the UK. If a standard website, online shop or booking site would do the job, the Sofakingsoft blueprints have fixed, published prices.
Get it on paper first.
Most decisions are cheaper made on paper than halfway through a build. The discovery is a 90-minute call and a written blueprint for £495, fixed. The blueprint is yours even if you build elsewhere.
