AI consulting & integration
More capability. Same judgement.
AI means artificial intelligence. Another acronym to remember, but used properly, this one can earn its keep.
Practical AI consultancy for businesses in Cornwall, Devon and across the UK. Used well, AI reduces repetitive work and cognitive load, leaving more time to explore and refine.
Stormy Studios’ strongest AI consulting work brings business strategy, design and development together: shaping the experience, connecting systems and turning capable technology into something genuinely useful.
Discuss AI opportunitiesHuman-led by design
AI amplifies the direction it is given.
AI finds patterns in language and data, producing an output from the context it is given. It can work with everyday text and images, but clear, structured information improves reliability. Useful results still need an understanding of the business and its systems. AI can accelerate the process, but design, accessibility, performance, security and search visibility still need human direction, testing and appropriate restraint.

AI consulting
Identify where AI could add real value, where straightforward automation would be better and what a sensible first version should include.
Chatbots & assistants
Useful website and knowledge assistants built around approved information, clear limits and a straightforward route to a person.
Automation & integration
Connect forms, email, bookings, payments, portals and internal tools, using AI where interpretation or summarising genuinely improves the flow.
Measured performance
Nearly there isn’t the standard.
Fast, stable websites make a stronger first impression, keep people engaged and make it easier for them to enquire, buy or book. They build trust, improve usability and can support stronger search visibility. Google Lighthouse measures loading speed, responsiveness and visual stability against a clear benchmark.
We build fast websites and speed up existing ones.
Performance should be demonstrated, not just promised.

Frequently asked questions
Useful answers to common questions.
Every project is different, but a few practical questions come up often. Here are the short answers. If there is anything you would like to discuss in more detail, please get in touch.
01What kind of projects does Stormy Studios take on?
Projects range from focused promotional and content-managed websites to ecommerce platforms, web applications and client portals. We also create integrations with other websites, apps and services, digital design systems and supporting tools. We can lead a new idea from the start, shape something less conventional or improve an existing site where its structure, design, content, functionality or performance need attention.
02Do you only work with businesses in Cornwall?
No. Stormy Studios is based in Pelynt, near Looe, and works with businesses throughout Cornwall and Devon, as well as clients across the UK. Local meetings are available when useful, with a simple remote process for projects further afield.
03How much does a website cost?
There is no one-size-fits-all package. Cost depends on scope, content and functionality. After an initial conversation, we provide a clear estimate and recommend what is genuinely needed, with later changes discussed before they become extra work.
04How long does a project take?
Timing depends on scope, content readiness and feedback. We agree a realistic schedule before work starts and can phase more involved projects so progress stays clear and manageable.
05Will we be able to update the website ourselves?
Yes, where regular updates are needed. We choose and configure the content management system around the content and the people using it, so day-to-day editing feels straightforward without compromising structure or performance.
06What happens after the website launches?
Launch includes final checks and handover. Hosting, maintenance, performance monitoring and ongoing improvements can then be handled through a care plan, while core accounts and project assets remain under your control.
