Your business, open all hours.
Websites, apps and AI that win customers while you're busy working.
Beautiful websites, apps, AI receptionists, marketing and custom software for independent businesses, from clinics and restaurants to trades and shops. If AI can build it, we can build it for you.
Twelve of our example designs, each made for a fictional business. Hover to pause.

Watch a concept of your new homepage build itself, right here. Change the style and colour until it feels like you.
A quick concept made in your browser with our photos. Your real site uses your own photos, services and reviews.
One studio for every piece of your business's tech.
Most small businesses juggle a website from one person, a booking system from another and a phone nobody can answer at 11pm. We build the lot, and make it work together.

CallerMy fuse box keeps tripping. Can someone come out this week?
Hive AISorry to hear that. I can book an electrician for Thursday between 8 and 10am. The call-out is £65. Shall I book it?
CallerYes please.
Hive AIDone. I've texted you the confirmation. If anything smells of burning, switch off at the mains and call 999.
Then we bring the customers in.
A great website only works if people find it. We run your marketing too: content, ads, Google, reviews and email, made with AI and checked by a person.

Example content for a fictional business, made by Hive.
Marketing is a monthly service, quoted for your business before anything starts. Ad budgets are paid directly to Google or Meta, so you always see exactly what's spent. We'll never promise a number of customers. We'll show you honestly what's working and what isn't.
Built for businesses like yours.
Different businesses need different things. A restaurant wants tables booked, a plumber wants quotes, a clinic wants consultations. We build for what you actually sell.
Don't take our word for it. Try it.
Most agencies show you screenshots. We'd rather you used the real thing. Every demo below works in your browser right now, with a made-up business.
Never miss the customer who calls at 9pm.
A friendly AI receptionist, trained on your services, prices and diary. It handles the questions your team answers twenty times a day, and hands over anything it shouldn't decide.
Drag to see the difference.
The same business, two websites. One sends people to the phone in office hours. The other books them at midnight.
BeforeAfter
Willow Aesthetics is a fictional business, used to show a typical before and after.
Every business has its own personality.
No templates. Each site is designed around the business, its customers and how they like to buy or book. Hover a design to scroll through it.
All of these are concept designs made by Hive for fictional businesses, to show our range. Designs we make for real businesses are shared only with that business.
You run the business. We handle the tech.
Clever, and careful.
Every industry has rules most tech companies have never heard of. We build them in from the start, so your website and AI never say something you'd regret.
“How much are anti-wrinkle injections?”
“Anti-wrinkle injections use a prescription-only medicine, so UK rules don't allow us to advertise or quote prices for them in messages like this. The first step is a consultation with our prescriber. Shall I book one?”

Good to know.
Which businesses do you work with?
Independent UK businesses of any kind: clinics, restaurants and cafés, salons and barbers, trades, gyms, shops, and professional firms like accountants. We know clinics especially well, and have a page just for them.
Do I have to change my booking system?
Usually not. Tell us what you use now and we'll explain the options by email before anything is agreed.
Will the AI receptionist say something it shouldn't?
It only answers from what you've approved: prices, times, services and policies. Anything else, like health questions, complaints or refunds, is passed to you.
Can we talk on the phone?
We work entirely by email. It keeps everything in writing, and you can reply whenever suits you.
Why did I get an email from you?
We email businesses that trade as limited companies, using the business email published on their own website, when we've spotted something on the site we can fix. We send one email and at most one follow-up. Reply "no thanks" and we'll never contact you again.
Do you guarantee results from marketing?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. We do the work properly, keep ad spend in your own Google and Meta accounts, and send a plain-English report every month showing what came in. If something isn't working, we'll tell you and change it.
Do you use AI?
Yes, openly. We use AI tools to help design, write and build, including the concepts we send and the photographs on this page, which are AI-generated. A person checks everything before it reaches you, and nothing goes live without your approval.
Who is behind Hive?
Hive is run by Aadam and is a trading name of Hive Technology Solutions Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales (company number 17555870).
Your next customer is booking at 11pm. Let's make sure they can.
Send us your website address. We'll reply with a free concept of your new homepage, and an honest view of what else would help.
