Websites, branding, menus, SEO, automation, video — built fast, priced fairly, made by someone who actually picks up the phone.
What we do
We've built the studio around the work small businesses actually need — not the fashionable. AI sits underneath all of it, but the bar is the same as any decent agency: get it right, ship it fast, charge fairly.
Bespoke-feel sites for tradespeople, restaurants, salons. From £199 one-off, fully owned, live in 2 days.
Mobile-first menu pages for cafes, takeaways, restaurants. QR-code-friendly, Instagram-ready.
Logo wordmarks, full brand packs, print collateral. AI-assisted, human-finished.
Google Business Profile, citations, on-page, AI Overview optimisation. Page-1 ranking or refund.
Lead pipelines, review-response, WhatsApp automation, custom n8n workflows. Save 10+ hours a week.
UGC video, ad creatives, product photography, social packs, reels. AI-generated, hand-edited.
Google Ads + Meta Ads setup and management. AI-driven creative testing. Tight budgets, real returns.
Custom chatbots, internal AI tools, document automation. Tailored to your specific operation.
How we work
No briefs. No four-week kick-offs. We'd rather you see something and react than fill out a form.
Tell us what you actually need. Most calls land on a clear scope before they end.
Within 48 hours we send a working draft — not a deck. You react, we revise.
Live on your domain. Pay when it's done and you've signed off — not before.
Optional monthly hosting, edits, reviews and SEO. Cancel any time, take your domain with you.
Pricing
Pick a tier, pay when it's live, scale up the recurring side later if it's working.
For tradespeople and shops who need something proper, fast.
Site + the recurring stack that actually grows the business.
For businesses ready to grow with paid ads + SEO + content.
Need just a logo, a video, or some automation work? Drop us a line — we price all individual jobs on the call.
Why us
The reason we can charge £199 for a proper website isn't because we're cutting corners — it's because the right AI stack means the same job that took an agency two weeks now takes us two days.
We pass the saving on. You get a real Sussex studio's care and a national agency's tooling, at half the price.
Most websites live in 2 days. Logo packs in 24 hours. Automation builds in a week.
You pay when the work is live and you've signed it off. Not before.
Based in Sussex. Most of our work is within an hour's drive. We meet for coffee.
Your domain, your site, your code. No lease, no lock-in. Cancel hosting anytime and take it elsewhere.

About
Bourne Studio is small on purpose. One operator, modern AI tooling, low overheads — that's how we can charge what we do and still take care over the work.
We work with cafes in Eastbourne Old Town, plumbers in Hailsham, electricians in Bexhill, hairdressers in Lewes, and every other small business along the south coast that wants a proper online presence without selling a kidney for it.
Common questions
Yes. £199 one-off, paid when the site is live and you've signed it off. No setup fees, no contract, no hidden costs. The optional £49/mo hosting on top is genuinely optional — you can take the site to any host you want.
Hosting, domain renewal, monthly edits (text changes, new photos, opening hours updates), Google Business Profile monitoring, review-response service, and a monthly performance email. Cancel anytime, no notice.
AI tooling. The same site that took an agency designer two weeks now takes us two days, with the same quality bar. We're not cutting corners on the work — we're cutting corners on the time it takes to make it. We pass the saving on.
Mostly south coast — Eastbourne, Hailsham, Bexhill, Hastings, Lewes, Brighton, Newhaven, and a bit further if you want. We like being able to meet for a coffee. National work is possible but priced differently.
Yes — every service in the list is available standalone. Logos from £75, SEO from £99/mo, AI video from £40 a clip. The bundles just save money if you want more than one thing.
Don't pay. Seriously — payment is on sign-off, not before. If the draft isn't right we'll revise it. If after revisions you still don't want it, no obligation. We'd rather have a happy "no" than an unhappy customer.
30-minute call. No pitch deck, no homework, no hard sell. We'll talk through what you actually need and tell you straight whether we can help.
