Telaia

Website design & development

A website that knows what your business is doing.

We design, build and run websites for clients, and we connect them to the system that runs the operation behind them. Update a product once and it's live on the site. Nobody has to remember to update two places.

The problem

Your website is always slightly wrong.

Not because anyone is careless. Because the website is a second system, kept up to date by hand, by someone who already has another job. The business changes daily; the site changes when somebody remembers.
  1. 01

    The price went up in March. The site still shows February's.

  2. 02

    It sold out Friday afternoon and stayed "available" online all weekend.

  3. 03

    Holiday hours made it to the door and to Instagram, but not to the site.

  4. 04

    A new location means three edits — the locations page, the booking page, the contact page — and two of them get forgotten.

Every one of those is the same failure. The truth lives in one system, and the website is a copy of it, typed again.

What we build

Four shapes, mostly.

01Marketing sites
The public face: what you do, who you are, how to reach you. Fast, readable, and editable by your team without calling us.
02Storefronts
Catalogue, stock, prices and checkout — driven by the same product records your team already maintains internally.
03Client & customer portals
A login where your customers see their orders, invoices, service history or documents without emailing anyone for them.
04Booking pages
Availability that reflects the real calendar, so a slot disappears the moment it's taken — by the website or by anyone else.

The connected advantage

One system, two faces.

This is the whole argument. When your operating system and your website are the same system, the website stops being a thing you maintain and becomes a view of what's already true.

If your operation doesn't run on Telaia yet, we still build the site — it connects to whatever you do run, and at the walkthrough we'll tell you plainly how much of this is possible with your current tools.

  • 01

    Publish a price change once

    You change the price in the system. The site, the storefront and the price list your reps send all read the same record. No second edit, nothing left behind.

  • 02

    A sold-out item hides itself

    Stock hits zero and the product goes unavailable online the same minute — without anyone opening the website.

  • 03

    A new location appears everywhere

    Add the site once, with its hours and address, and it shows up on the locations page, the booking page and the contact page together.

Proof

A working example, open right now.

Wrayfield is a retail company whose catalogue is maintained in the operating system and publishes straight to its storefront. Change a product on the inside and the shop page changes. Open it and click around — no form, no email.
Open the Wrayfield demo

Fictional company and sample data. The system underneath is the real one.

Five more, all running.

Every one of these is a real build on the same system, loaded with sample data. Open any of them — no form, nothing to fill in.

How it works

Short version.

  1. 01

    The walkthrough

    Free, 60 to 90 minutes, one on one. We go through what you sell, what changes often, and what's being retyped by hand today.

  2. 02

    A scope and a fixed quote

    Written in plain language: the pages, the connections, who edits what. Nothing gets priced before that.

  3. 03

    Build, launch, run

    We build it, launch it, host it and keep it working. Changes join the same monthly queue as the rest of your system.

What it costs

No published price for this one. A five-page site and a storefront with 900 products aren't the same job, and a headline number would just be one we'd take back later. It goes through the same free walkthrough as everything else the studio builds.

The four phases, in depth

Start here

Tell me what's out of date.

Six questions, about two minutes — the same form the studio uses. Tell me what your site has to keep in step with, and I'll come to the walkthrough already knowing where the drift is.

Book the walkthrough.

Sixty to ninety minutes, one on one, no fee. Bring the pages that go stale and we'll work out what it would take to make them true.
