What We Offer

studio teknabu builds human-centred software for solo operators and small teams. From a small fix to a full build or redesign, we focus on clarity, control, and practical workflows.

Custom Software & Micro-Apps

We design around what you want, the real job to be done. We work fast, flexible and design to solve real problems, not adding complexity!

Internal Tools & Business Systems

We audit your workflow, cut wasted steps, and add the right mix of redesign ,automation and integrations. One clear system your team can actually use.

Technical Guidance & Digital Planning

Not sure where to start? We’ll help you map out your system or product idea and turn it into something real. Independant advice, not an upsell. We will compare buy-vs-build, choose the tools that fit, outline and flag the risks and costs, you can execute with or without us.

Frontend Development & UI Logic

Clean, fast, purposeful User Interfaces. We can build end-to-end or provide templates, components, and small design kit that match your brand so you can move quickly.

Backend & Integration Work

We connect your systems, automate the repetitive bits. Your data moves itself, so your team can spend less time clicking and more time doing. Clean data in, tidy data out.

Documentation & Support Materials

We don’t just build and hand it over. We provide onboarding guides, walkthroughs, and docs to help you stay in control long after launch.
