Custom websites, software, and a retainer.
Built for how you run the business.Foundry Studio works with Hong Kong SME bosses who want a studio relationship, not a SaaS trial or a HK$4,800 package grid.
Consultative · Bilingual · WhatsApp-first
Sound familiar?
Package grids look cheap until bilingual content, integrations, and post-launch support are extras.
Consultative scoping — one studio, one proposal
The agency disappears when you need updates, fixes, or someone who remembers how the site was built.
Retainer — the studio stays on after launch
One shop builds the site; another quotes custom work — nobody owns the whole relationship.
Websites, software, and the retainer under one studio
Thin English pages bolted onto a Chinese site — or the reverse — when your clients expect both.
Full zh-HK and English equivalents
Discovery to launch —
Four steps owner-operators can follow, with costs settled before we build.

We learn how you sell, operate, and maintain the site or tool today — WhatsApp, booking, bilingual needs.

- What must the site or tool do
- What you already have to reuse
Proposal
Scoped pages, integrations, timeline, and a consultative quote.
- Clear deliverables and ownership
- Timeline you can plan around
- Optional retainer after launch

Built to be found — by people and by AI
A site nobody can find is a brochure. Discovery is part of the build.
Found on Google
Semantic structure, metadata, sitemaps, and local signals — set up on day one, not as an afterthought.
Cited by AI search
AI answers (AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) cite sites with clear facts and clean structure. We build for that — GEO.
Full bilingual parity
zh-HK and English as complete equivalents — both locales indexable, both worth citing.

Questions owner-operators ask
Straight answers — no invented package prices or fake case studies.
Most SME sites run roughly 6–12 weeks from signed proposal to launch, depending on content readiness and integrations. We confirm the timeline in the proposal, once scope is settled.
