A one-person studio. I build with AI.
I build websites,apps and tools forhow you sell, teachand bring peopletogether.
Tell me what you need. I build it and look after it, with clear priorities and scope, for schools, retreats, studios, charities and brands. Start with one project, or work with me month by month.
Projects from $2,000. Ongoing partnership from $3,495 a month when you need regular work. →
Does this fit
where you are?
You’re launching something new
A program, a product, a season of events or retreats, or a new site, and it has to be clear, bookable and live by a date.
You sell bookings, sessions or memberships, and run them by hand
Signing up takes too many steps, nobody can see the numbers, and new clients or members drift away. I improve booking and enrollment, reporting, onboarding and retention inside the tools you already use.
You need someone technical every month
A steady list of things to improve, and nobody technical on the team to do them.
What I can
build for you.
Examples of the kind of work, not client results.
Clearer presentation
A site that says who you help, what you offer and how to start, in English and Spanish.
- Brand & Web
- Creative & Content
Fewer steps to enroll
From “I’m interested” to applied, paid and welcomed, in fewer steps and with nobody copying by hand.
- Apps & Platforms
- AI & Automation
- Systems & Infrastructure
Content you can keep up with
Your notes turned into posts, emails and launch pieces you approve, on a rhythm you can keep.
- AI & Automation
- Creative & Content
Better reporting
One place to see enrollments, payments and attendance, instead of four spreadsheets.
- Apps & Platforms
- Systems & Infrastructure
Help new members settle in, and stay
Welcome emails, a members’ area people can find their way around, a first week planned for them, and a reason to stay.
- Apps & Platforms
- AI & Automation
- Creative & Content
For a yoga teacher training: a cohort apply-and-deposit page, dates with places left and a waitlist, what’s included, teacher bios, in English and Spanish. More for yoga teacher trainings →
First, next,
later.
Possibilities, not a package. Each month we agree what fits.
First, fix what exists.
The enrollment path, the welcome, the numbers you can’t see yet.
Next, improve from results.
Once it’s running, we look at what actually happened and make the next change count.
Later, test something new.
A new course, channel or product, tried small first, when there’s a reason to.
Five layers,
connected.
Everything I build sits on one of five layers, and most organizations need a bit of each. Pick a kind of business to see what each layer means for it.
- 01Brand & WebWho you are, what you say and how it looks, and a fast site that turns visitors into inquiries.
- 02Apps & PlatformsMemberships people come back to, and apps for iPhone, Android and the web, with the accounts and payments that keep them running.
- 03AI & AutomationAssistants grounded in your own material, with a person approving what matters. And the tools you already pay for, talking to each other, so the copying stops.
- 04Creative & ContentPosts and launch content that sound like you, made with AI tuned to your voice. You approve what goes out.
- 05Systems & InfrastructureThe tools your team lives in all day, built to replace the spreadsheet rather than sit beside it, and everything connected underneath.
Build it the usual way, and you’d hire:
- a brand strategist
- a creative director
- a copywriter
- a designer
- a front-end developer
- a back-end developer
- someone who “does AI”
- someone to connect it all
- and a weekly meeting
Or me.
You work with me from the first call to launch, and after. I design, write and build it, using AI tools, and I review everything myself. When a project needs human expertise, like a photographer, we agree who, what and the cost before starting.
Founder, Astral Studio
Jordi Amat
Websites, apps and the systems behind them.
A senior full-stack engineer with 13+ years of production software behind me: apps with real users, enterprise systems in London, high-growth start-ups and two founding-engineer roles.
How we can work together.
Start with a project when there’s one thing to build or improve. Choose an ongoing partnership when there’s a real list of priorities each month. Not sure? We’ll work out the right starting point on a free call.
One job
A project
One thing built, connected and working.
From $2,000
A website, brand, campaign, booking setup, automation, app or platform.
We agree the scope, fixed price and delivery plan before starting. The quote includes testing and handover for the agreed work. Payments can be staged. The discovery call and the quote are free.
Every month
Ongoing partnership
For businesses with several things to build or improve over time.
from $3,495a month
Planning, communication, testing and agreed upkeep all fit within the time we reserve.
- Agreed priorities and reserved time each month, built from the top of your list.
- A written update every week, and a call each month to agree what’s next.
- Upkeep of what I’ve built, within the coverage we agree.
- A place in my queue. I take five ongoing clients at most.
Three months to start, then month to month. Stop with 30 days’ notice.
Only need one result? Start with a project.
We agree in writing what done means before any work starts. You approve every piece before it goes out. You own everything: the code, the content and the accounts.
After your build
Take it over yourself, ask me to look after it, or keep building together.
Optional Care from $350 a month
For systems already built, with an agreed, limited maintenance scope. We decide which system is covered, the support time and response arrangements before it starts. New features and third-party costs are separate.
You don’t need a monthly plan to buy a project. Corrections already owed under the build stay part of that project.
Been burned by a developer before? Everything runs in your accounts from day one, not mine. You get a written update every week. If a date won’t fit, I say so before we start, not after.
Partner. Need more of my time? Partner is $6,495 a month, with priority scheduling and a call every week. Ask about Partner →
What happens
after you pay.
The same steps for a project or an ongoing partnership. The scope and pace are agreed before starting.
We agree what done means.
In writing: the priority, the scope and what “done” looks like, before any work starts.
I check that it fits.
For monthly work I check what fits in the month. If you have a date, a launch or an enrollment deadline, I flag any conflict before we start.
I build it.
Usually what people meet first: the page, the offer, the way in. Built properly, in your accounts.
You review it.
A written update every week, and you see each piece before it goes live.
It goes live.
Connected to what you already use, and kept running while we work together.
Then I hand over, or we continue.
A project ends with a handover in your accounts. An ongoing partnership moves on to the next agreed priority.
A date is a date. If something time-sensitive won’t fit in the month, I say so up front, and we cut the scope, make it a project with a fixed date, or plan it across months. It doesn’t quietly slide to next month.
Questions people ask.
Who builds custom apps and automations on a monthly plan?
I do. I’m Jordi Amat. I build websites, apps, creative work and connected systems, using AI tools and reviewing everything myself. Start with one project, or agree an ongoing partnership for regular work.
I’m not technical. Is that a problem?
No. You describe what you want to exist, or what isn’t working, and I translate.
What happens after I write to you?
Book a free 30-minute call. If there's a job, you get a written quote with the scope and one price.
How fast can we start?
Usually within two weeks.
Do I own what you build?
Yes, always: the code, the content and the accounts it runs in.
Do you use AI to build?
Yes. I make everything with AI tools: the code, and the brand, design, copy and content too. I make the decisions, review everything before it goes out, and I’m responsible for the result. If a job needs a human expert, like a photographer, I bring one in.
Do I need a monthly plan?
No. You can hire me for a project with a clear finish line. Ongoing work is for businesses with a continuing list of priorities. After a project, we can hand over, agree optional Care or keep building together.
Can you help with something smaller than a project?
Yes. Tell me what needs fixing or improving. If it’s a focused, worthwhile piece of work, I’ll suggest a small fixed-scope engagement. A free quote does not require a paid session.
How much does it cost?
Projects start at $2,000, with a fixed quote after a free call. Ongoing partnership starts at $3,495 a month, with three months to start. Optional Care after a build starts at $350 a month, with maintenance and support scope agreed.
I already use Kajabi, Circle or a booking tool. Do I have to switch?
No. I start from what you have, and only build something new when it can’t do what you need.
I have a launch date. Will it be ready?
I check that before we start. If it won’t fit, I say so up front, and we cut the scope, make it a project with a fixed date, or plan it across months.
What if I stop?
For an ongoing partnership, after the first three months it’s month to month, with 30 days’ notice. You keep everything you paid for, and I hand it over.
Something urgent? Can you just fix it?
Yes. A 4-hour working session is $600: you leave with completed work and clear next steps, and the $600 comes off anything you book within 30 days.
Not a school or retreat. Can you still help?
Yes. Schools, retreats and communities are what I know best, but I build the same things for other businesses: websites, booking and payments, customer and members’ areas, connected tools. Tell me what you need on a free call.
What if it’s not a fit?
I’ll tell you on the first call.
Ventures & collaborations
A joint venture, now and then.
Now and then I build something with a founder as a joint venture instead of for a fee. If you have one in mind, tell me.
Let’s talk.
A few lines are enough. I reply within a working day.
