Astral Studio Start a project

For startups & growing businesses

A senior technical partner, without hiring a CTO.

You need a product built, or the systems under a growing business made to work as one. We take it from the first decision to production, and stay accountable for it.

Sound familiar?

  • There’s an idea, a deck and a deadline, and no one senior to decide how to build it.
  • An agency quoted a big build. You’re not sure it’s the right one.
  • The business runs on spreadsheets, inboxes and tools that don’t talk to each other.
  • Every new hire means more copying between systems, not less.
  • The person who knew how it all fits together has left.

What we build for you.

  • A product, from zero to launch

    Architecture, mobile and web, payments, and the boring parts that make it work in the real world.

  • Operations that behave like one system

    Internal tools, integrations and automations that replace the copying.

  • Senior ownership, ongoing

    Someone who holds the whole technical picture, for as long as it’s useful.

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 us.

Two people, one studio. Nina leads what people see, read and feel. Jordi leads what has to work behind it. Nothing gets lost in between, because we plan it at the same table.

Don’t take our word for it.

Two working prototypes with fictional content. Open one and click around.

Enrolment desk

Every enquiry, from first message to enrolled.

One queue for forms, email and chat. Follow-ups drafted on time, and a person approves each one before it goes.

The Companion

A certification school’s manuals, turned into a teacher’s daily tool.

A library, a class builder, a live session timer and a plan students take home. Works offline on a phone.

Most client work lives inside other organisations’ operations and stays theirs. Jordi’s longer engineering record, with enterprise systems, high-growth start-ups and two founding-engineer roles, is on jordiamat.com.

What it costs.

Start small. Every price is fixed and agreed before any work starts, in US dollars.

  • You own the code, always.
  • Each price says what it includes, in writing.
  • Third-party costs, like hosting and subscriptions, are separate.

How it starts

  1. Write to us, or ask for a $350 working session. A few honest lines about what you need are enough.

  2. We reply within two working days, then talk for thirty minutes about your project, not about us.

  3. If there’s something worth doing, you get a one-page proposal: what you’ll have, the dates and one fixed price. A deposit starts the work; the rest is due at handover.
