A small studio with boutique attention.
Y & I Web Lab is a one-person web studio built around a simple idea: small businesses deserve websites that are as considered as their shops, salons and studios — and that actually run the business behind the scenes.
Studio of one
Direct. Hands-on. Answering you today.
Why a studio of one?
Studio Founder (placeholder — client will edit) started Y & I Web Lab after years of building sites and admin tools for independent businesses. The same story kept repeating: lovely premises, great service, and a website that didn't match — or worse, a site the owner couldn't update without calling someone.
Y & I Web Lab exists to fix that. Every site is bespoke, not a theme. Every project includes the real tools a business needs — bookings, schedules, consent forms, reminders — with an admin panel that doesn't require a manual.
Because it's one person doing the work, you don't pay agency overhead. You get direct communication, faster turnarounds, and a site that looks and feels like it was made just for you — because it was.
Three things we protect.
Craft
Typography, spacing, motion. Small details that add up to a site that feels considered — because it is.
Speed
Fast to reply, fast to ship. Most sites are live within two weeks, with no mystery about what happens next.
Partnership
You talk to the person building the site. No account managers, no tickets — just a direct conversation.
Six calm steps from hello to live.
Discovery
A free 20-minute call. We learn your business, clients, brand feel, and what the site actually needs to do.
Design preview
A personalised mock-up of your homepage before you pay anything. If you don't love it, we part as friends.
Build
Design, development, content, and functionality, with weekly check-ins and a shared preview link.
Review & refine
You get a full preview, we iterate on anything that needs it, and walk through how to use the admin panel.
Launch
We connect your domain, switch it live, and keep watch for the first week in case anything needs a nudge.
Support
Monthly plans include hosting, backups, updates, and a friendly human on email when you need one.
Boutique beats agency.
Agencies are built for enterprise budgets and scale. Small studios deserve a small studio — someone who actually cares, and who you can reach directly.
No overhead
No account managers, no handovers. You pay for the work, not the office.
Direct communication
Your designer, developer, and point of contact are the same person.
Boutique attention
We take on a small number of projects at a time so yours doesn't get lost.
Founder-grade care
You get the person whose name is on the studio — not a junior off a queue.
Let's make something you're proud of.
