A design and engineering studio, Baku.
Brand, product, and web work delivered in weeks — not months. Human judgment, AI velocity. Said plainly, not as a slogan.
Three projects.
Three different problems.
One way of working.
-
End-to-end IT and business infrastructure for BYD Motors Baku
BYD's official distributor in Azerbaijan was scaling a national dealer network and needed every back-office layer to scale with it. We co-led a multi-year build covering servers, security, ERP, the call centre, the public website, and SEO — every layer running on one unified network.
-
AI-driven news aggregator serving 20 countries
The regional press landscape is fragmented, and a multilingual audience couldn't be served by manual moderation. We built a fully automated AI pipeline — today it runs live across 20 countries.
-
End-to-end IT and business platform for Sumqayıt Bağları Construction
A large construction company needed sales, site operations, and finance to run on one system instead of three. We delivered the data server, security systems, ERP, the call centre, the website and SEO — all on one unified network, under one ownership.
AI is how the studio works.
It is not the pitch.
Who decides, who executes — written down for every step. This table is a working reference; partners get the same one when a project starts.

for free. Twenty minutes.
The Qaynaq audit pipeline crawls the site, measures performance, SEO, security, and accessibility, runs the data through an AI synthesis layer, and Elvin edits the report by hand. A branded PDF lands in your inbox within five to ten minutes.
Positions, written down.

Why an AI-powered studio still ships things by hand
AI gives speed, not judgment. On every project we write down — explicitly — which decisions don't get handed to the model, and why that document matters more than the AI itself.
-
Working solo: when (and how) to bring others in
Founder-led isn't a marketing pose — it's a real constraint. Here's where the constraint bends, and the actual names of the contractors who get brought in: Lalə M., Bəxtiyar M., Aydan Ə.
-
Why your case study is not an image grid
Almost every Azerbaijani studio shows their work as a 'card + headline' grid. That isn't a case study — it's a screenshot album. A real case study requires a narrative.
-
Why this site is built on Astro
Stack choice isn't neutral. Astro was the right call once it became clear we were building an editorial surface, not a lead-capture funnel.
-
Inside the $0.50 free audit
How the site is fetched, what the AI actually sees, what the human edits, and why I personally read the first twenty reports.
-
Why no Azerbaijani studio is on Awwwards
I audited the top ten local agencies. None of them are on Awwwards or FWA. That isn't an accident — it's a system.
-
Why we don't list packaged prices
A fixed package either falls short of a real problem or overcharges for a simple one. Neither is honest.
-
The independent technical reviewer is the missing role
When you can't verify the work you've ordered, the vendor takes the decision out of your hands. Here's how to close that gap.
