Achill Studios
Two people · no outsourcing

Two people. No middlemen.

We're Louise and James. We started Achill Studios because we kept building the software our own businesses needed — and realised other people were being quoted £50,000 and six months for the same thing.

Between us we've built and run The Louk, Nook, Iryss, CraicMap, GigMap and Ladle — so we're not guessing at what a business needs from a booking system or a dashboard. We use ours daily.

You deal with the two of us from the first call to launch. Nothing is passed to an account manager, and nothing is sent out to developers you'll never meet.

Work with us, wherever you are

Your country doesn't matter — your idea does. We build with clients all over the world, working directly with the two of us over video. No agencies, no time lost in translation.

Between us we've delivered work across the UK & Ireland, Europe, and the Middle East & North Africa — so we're used to different markets, currencies and time zones. If we can get on a call, we can build it.

How working together works

The same simple process whether you're a street away or ten time zones over.

A first video callTeams, Zoom, Google Meet — whatever suits you. We listen, ask the right questions, and tell you honestly if we're the right fit.
A fixed quoteA clear price in your own currency, agreed before anything starts — so there are no surprises and no exchange-rate games.
Regular check-insShort video updates and a link you can open any time to see progress. You're never left wondering where things are.
Built around your zoneWe schedule calls to suit your working day and reply the same day. Distance has never been the hard part — clarity is, and that's on us.
Launch & handoverWe put it live, walk you through it on a call, and stay on hand afterwards — the work is yours, wherever it's hosted.
Paid your wayInvoiced in USD, GBP, EUR and more, paid securely by card or bank transfer. Simple for you, wherever you bank.
