Yes, but as part of a product, not as a standalone logo project. At The Blank Works, brand strategy, naming, identity and design systems are built to run across the platform, the store, the content and the ads. Ellomatt and baba, two brands built in the studio, went from naming and identity through to Shopify storefronts and paid acquisition.

Shopify for commerce; modern web architectures such as Astro and headless setups on Cloudflare for platforms; custom application development; n8n and custom integrations for automation; and the Claude, OpenAI and Gemini model families for applied AI. The studio is a Shopify partner and a member of the Claude Partner Network.

In two ways. Inside client products, as applied AI: automation workflows, co-pilots, AI search and agentic commerce integrations that remove manual work or open new channels. And inside The Blank Works itself, across research, prototyping, creative production and campaign optimization, so a small senior team ships at the pace of a much larger one. Every AI system is human-directed and measured.

Yes. Custom software used to require enterprise budgets because it required large specialist teams and long timelines. AI has removed most of that cost. Mid-sized companies can now own the systems their business actually runs on instead of bending operations around off-the-shelf tools. Lobby Mill, an architecture studio, runs on a custom web application, CRM and automation layer built by The Blank Works.

Founders, CEOs and growth leaders at DTC brands, SaaS companies and established businesses that want to own their product and their growth rather than rent them. Sectors include ecommerce and fashion, sports and wellness, hospitality and architecture, SaaS and professional services. Geographically, the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe.

Companies looking for the cheapest build, a template with a logo swapped in, or a last-resort partner to rescue a business already in crisis. The Blank Works takes on a limited number of projects and commits a senior team to each, which only works for clients planning to build and operate something for the long term.

Deliberately few. The roster is limited so that every engagement has senior people on it, not a junior team running templates. If The Blank Works commits to a project, the founders and leads are in it.

No. The studio works best alongside a senior internal owner of product or growth and acts as the engineering and operating capacity that team does not have. Internal teams keep ownership of strategy and brand; The Blank Works builds, instruments and operates the systems underneath.

With a conversation and a diagnostic, not a proposal template. The first weeks with The Blank Works map the business, the existing stack and the real constraints, then define a scope with measurable outcomes. Contact is through the form on the site, and the team replies within 24 hours.

At The Blank Works, simple automations and tools ship in two to four weeks. Integrated systems, such as a Shopify store with ERP, email and shipping connected, take six to eight weeks. Larger platforms and applications take eight to twelve. Growth work is continuous and reviewed on a monthly cycle.

Through shared dashboards and a monthly review tied to the metrics agreed at the start. For commerce that is usually conversion rate, CAC, ROAS, revenue per visitor and retention; for software and B2B, activation and pipeline. The Blank Works connects each build or experiment to its revenue impact rather than listing activity.

Product builds are scoped as fixed projects. Growth services run on monthly retainers. Starting points are published on the services pages, from 1,490 euros per month for paid media to 4,490 euros for software and application builds, and every scope is priced against the outcome it is meant to move, not against hours.

Sometimes. Through its venture studio, The Blank Works co-builds and co-invests alongside founders, contributing brand, product, engineering and growth from day one in exchange for equity. Ellomatt, a DTC sleep brand, was built this way, from concept to a European market in months.
