Independent web + AI studio Derby, UK

Websites up front. Smarter systems behind them.

A UK web + AI studio in Derby. Fast websites, and the systems that run the business behind them.

01 / Capabilities

One studio. Two sides of the work.

Websites change how a business is presented, found and chosen. Systems change how the work gets done. Mapletree handles both as one connected engagement.

Web 01

We design the place customers meet your business.

  • Strategy & messaging
  • Web design
  • Astro development
  • Landing pages & full websites
  • Performance & technical SEO
  • Ongoing website improvement

Fast Astro builds, search-ready structure, and copy that helps the right visitor say yes.

AI & systems 02

We improve what happens after they arrive.

  • Internal tools
  • Workflow automation
  • Knowledge systems
  • Reporting & operational dashboards
  • Enquiry routing & qualification
  • Human-approved content & research

Practical integrations that cut repetitive work, always with a human approving the output.

03 / Why Mapletree

A senior studio, not a factory.

Mapletree is led by Jake Haynes, who stays hands-on across strategy, design and build. When a project needs a specialist, a small trusted network steps in, so the work stays sharp without inflating into an agency you pay for but never meet.

  • 01

    Clearer positioning

    We get the message right before a single pixel, what you do, for whom, and why it beats the alternative.

  • 02

    Fast Astro builds

    Static-first sites that load quickly, score well and stay cheap to run and easy to extend.

  • 03

    Search-ready structure

    Clean semantics, schema and internal linking so the right pages get found for the right queries.

  • 04

    Useful automation

    Systems that remove repetitive admin (routing, reporting, follow-up), not novelty for its own sake.

  • 05

    Human review

    AI drafts and gathers; a person checks and approves. Nothing goes live unseen.

  • 06

    Direct senior involvement

    You work with the person doing the work, not an account layer passing messages along.

04 / Process

One process, both kinds of work.

Whether we are building a website or an internal system, the path is the same, and it keeps you in the loop at every stage.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    We map the goal, the audience and the friction, both on the website and in the work happening behind it.

  2. 02

    Design

    Structure, message and interface for the site; the shape of the tool or automation for the system.

  3. 03

    Build

    Astro build, content and QA for web. Integration, testing and sensible guardrails for systems.

  4. 04

    Improve

    Measure, learn, refine. Sites get sharper over time; automations get safer and reach further.

05 / Signal

Don't take our word for it.

Your website should bring in work. Your systems should make it easier to deliver.
