Consiliuma / About the studio

Good digital work is still personal.

I’m Chris, founder of Consiliuma. I combine more than 25 years of design and development experience with a small team, carefully built systems and modern automation to do thoughtful, effective work for businesses that care about getting it right.

Working worldwide

British studio. Working between the UK and Thailand.

Chris divides his time between the UK and Thailand. We welcome projects from businesses and organisations worldwide, with remote collaboration, agreed meeting times and a direct point of contact.

We agree the project scope, currency, hosting requirements and ongoing support before work begins. Tell us where your team and clients work so those decisions fit your business.

01 / The beginning

It started in a factory, with a first website and a lot of curiosity.

I built my first website in Microsoft Publisher in 1999, sitting in my father’s factory and teaching myself how the pieces fitted together. Dreamweaver, hand-written code, WordPress and every major shift in the web followed.

02 / The practice

Twenty-five years of learning what digital work needs to do after launch.

I have worked across design, websites, content, search, commerce and software. The tools keep changing. The responsibility does not: make the business clearer, easier to choose and better equipped for the work ahead.

03 / The studio today

Human thinking, strengthened by serious technology.

Today I lead Consiliuma with a trusted team supporting selected projects. We build and use our own CRM systems, email tools, outreach workflows and automation. AI is part of the toolkit, but it is not the identity of the business.

How we work

No agency theatre. Just useful work.

01

Begin with a conversation

A phone call and a notepad usually reveal more than a long specification. We want to understand what you are building, what is getting in the way and what better would look like.

02

Make the invisible clear

Good design gives shape to the thing you already know is valuable. It makes the offer easier to understand, trust and act on.

03

Build what stays useful

Your website, content and systems should belong to you, work properly on every screen and leave room for the business to grow.

04

Use technology with judgement

Automation and AI can increase what a small studio can do. They do not replace taste, responsibility, or the human conversation at the centre of the work.

The next conversation

Tell me what you are building.

A first conversation can be informal, practical and completely free of agency theatre. Tell us about the business, the ambition and what is getting in the way.
