Websites and software that take the busywork off your plate.

For small businesses and nonprofits still running on phone calls, paper and apps that don't talk to each other. You get a written scope and price before any work starts.

  • A two-minute form, then you pick a time
  • A written price before any work starts
  • Phase one fits a small budget

Here's a day at a pet care facility that runs on software we built.

We built Animal Lovers App, and it runs bookings, payments and client records for the facility. Open any step to see the full screen.

  1. Two dogs expected today on the front desk, Wally for grooming at 14:00 and Rocco and Wally for boarding. The Check In button beside each dog. Dogs arrive. One tap checks each one in.
  2. Tonight, beds occupied: 4 of 12 beds. Maple in Run 1, overnight boarding, night 3 of 4, September 21 to 25. Overnight guests each get a bed.
  3. A saved AIM chat: Who's working tomorrow? AIM, the AI manager, offering How's today looking, Any compliance issues and Who's working tomorrow. The owner asks AIM how today looks.
  4. The pet parent app greeting Elena with 290 loyalty points. An upcoming booking: Doggie Daycare on September 23, confirmed. Pet parents book and earn points from their phone.

Start with the problem in front of you

Which one is yours?

Most projects fit one of these. If yours spans two, that's common, and the scoping call sorts it out.

Websites

Is your website bringing in customers?

New sites, redesigns and moves off an agency. You get a simple tool to update events, news and hours yourself, so the site stays current without a phone call to anyone.

Recent work: a venue's website, and a pet care business moved off its marketing agency.

The pet parent app home screen: loyalty points, quick actions and upcoming bookings.
Quick actions: book daycare, boarding or grooming, manage pets, rewards and messages. An upcoming booking: Doggie Daycare on September 23, confirmed.

Apps and portals

Do your customers or members need more than a website?

Web and mobile apps, client and member portals, booking, and a branded app people install straight from your website.

Recent work: Brother Arnold and the Animal Lovers App pet parent app.

Lodging for tonight: four of twelve beds occupied, each boarder assigned to a run with the nights of their stay.

Custom software

Is your team running on spreadsheets?

Dashboards and reports, internal tools for your team, automations that connect the software you already pay for, and full platforms that serve many businesses, each with its own data.

Recent work: Animal Lovers App.

Technical assessments

Not sure where to start? A paid, fixed-scope look at what you have, what it's costing you and what to do next. It's the low-risk first step.

Care plans

After launch, we look after it. Each month we handle updates and a set amount of small changes, and we can manage your domain and email too, so a quick edit never means hunting for a developer.

Animal Lovers App

A dog daycare runs its day on it.

Our platform for dog daycare, boarding, grooming and training businesses. Bookings, payments and client records live in one place, and the facility signed on for two years.

  • Moved over. 500+ pet owner records brought across from the facility's old system.
  • For the owner. An owner dashboard, the front desk, lodging and staff scheduling.
  • For pet parents. A branded app with the facility's own logo and colors.
  • AI manager. AIM answers an owner's questions, like how today looks, who's working tomorrow and what's out of compliance.

  • Brother Arnold

    A world-class personal trainer in your pocket.

    It asks about your goals, sleep and meals, plans every workout from the training research and logs each set, even offline.

  • Our design studio

    You're in control of your design, before we build it.

    You get a private link and see each design direction as real pages. Pin a note on the exact spot you mean, then pick one. Changes happen here, before the build, which saves time and money.

    Private client links
  • Small business websites

    Websites the owner can keep current.

    For a venue, a performer, an independent travel advisor and a consultant and speaker brand.

    Live, in build and in design
  • Agency migration

    The owner holds the keys to their website now.

    We moved a pet care business's website off its marketing agency, onto hosting and DNS in accounts the owner controls.

  • Nonprofit rebuild

    Built so donors can give online and the team can post its own updates.

    A nonprofit's website rebuild with online donations and a self-serve posting tool, plus a partner and donor portal.

How a project works

From the first call to launch.

  1. Book a free scoping call.

    A two-minute form, then pick a time that suits you.

  2. Tell us more before the call.

    An optional questionnaire, about 15 minutes. It makes the call count.

  3. The scoping call.

    We talk through what you have today and what you want to build.

  4. A written scope and price.

    For the first phase, in writing, before any work starts.

  5. Design, then build.

    You see design directions as real pages in our design studio and pick one, then we build it phase by phase.

  6. Launch and care.

    We launch, train your team, and look after it on a care plan if you want one.

Our scoping call form: your name, email and organization, then what you want built.
Step 1 of 12 of the optional questionnaire, with a progress bar and the list of sections.

It's in our name

Built with our own AI design system.

International AI Design builds every project with an AI design system we engineered for our own work. It designs, writes, tests and checks software alongside our team, so a small business gets the engineering depth of a platform company at a small business price.

Inside Animal Lovers App

An AI-native platform, with an AI bus at the center.

Every part of the platform is a single-purpose module: payments, booking, staff scheduling, lodging, the front desk and the pet parent app. Each one plugs into a central AI bus that orchestrates the platform, and every module inherits its intelligence from the bus. The AI is the center of the platform, built in from day one.

  • Designed as real pages first.

    You see each design direction as a working page in our design studio, and pick one, before anything is built.

  • Checked on every change.

    Automated tests and checks run on every change, and nothing ships until they pass.

  • Built to grow.

    Animal Lovers App runs many businesses on one platform, with each business's data kept separate from the rest.

  • Security in the foundation.

    Each business's data is walled off from every other, secrets live in a vault and never in the code, and the platform has had a full security review.

  • A system that learns.

    Our system keeps what each project teaches it, so every build starts further ahead than the last.

  • AI where it saves your staff time.

    In Animal Lovers App, AIM answers an owner's questions about today's bookings, tomorrow's schedule and what's out of compliance.
