A small studio that ships.
Search Design is a UK studio of AI designers and developers. We help founders and small teams get a credible site, product, or prototype live quickly.
Who we are
Search Design is a UK studio of AI designers and developers. We work with founders and small teams who need a credible site, product or prototype live in about a week.
The people who scope your project design it and write the code, so you talk to the practitioners doing the work. The structure is decided from how your buyers search before anything is designed, and the build is production-grade from the first commit.
We use modern AI tooling to move quickly. The design, accessibility, performance and search judgement is human and deliberate. You keep all of it — the repository, the analytics and the documented workflow, in your accounts from day one.
Who you work with
A small senior team, fractional or on-call where the work calls for it, covering positioning, growth, build and technical oversight. Between them they've worked across startups, D2C, B2B and B2B2C, and each was an early adopter of AI in their own craft.
Fractional CMO
An exited founder who sets the positioning and decides where growth comes from before anything is built, running the funnel and growth workflows on AI tooling.
Digital marketing specialist
Runs the search and campaign work that the positioning calls for and reports against it, having built AI tools, workflows and agents for Google Ads and SEO.
Full-stack AI developer
Designs in the browser and writes the production code you keep.
Fractional CTO, on-call
Reviews the architecture and is there for technical escalation when a build needs it.
How we operate
We name the trade-offs
We'll tell you what we don't know and where the trade-offs are. If a cheaper or simpler path gets you the same outcome, we'll point you at it, even when it means less work for us.
We build in production
We design in the browser and write production code from the first commit, so what you review is the working product.
Fixed scope
You get a defined scope before anything starts, and the number holds unless that scope changes.
You own everything
The repository, the analytics, the documentation: all yours, ready to run and grow without us.
If that sounds like your kind of studio —
