Maiwen’s Studio · Lewiston–Auburn, Maine
Booking, CRMs, donations and client portals, designed around how you actually work. One developer, Wol Maiwen, from the first call to launch and after.
Taking on new projects · two clients at a time
Prime Cuts, a concept build: the website and the owner dashboard behind it.
Concept builds
Concept builds are complete, working sites for fictional businesses, made to show what I can build for yours. The businesses, people, reviews and numbers in them are invented.
Concept buildBarbershop· website + owner dashboard
Online booking out front, the whole shop run from one dashboard behind it.
Concept buildReal estate· website + owner dashboard
A listings site that feeds an agent CRM: every enquiry lands in a pipeline.
Concept buildArtist & gallery· website + owner dashboard
A portfolio that sells, with the inventory and collector list behind it.
Concept buildRestaurant
A dining room you can feel before you arrive, and a table you can book.
Front door + back office
Most small businesses glue a site to three other tools and a spreadsheet. I build the site and the tool behind it as one thing, so a booking, an order or a donation goes straight to where your team works.
On the website
They pick the barber, the service and a free slot. No phone tag.
In the dashboard
The owner sees the day at a glance: who's in, what's open, what's done.
Behind both
Visit history, spend and loyalty, with no second spreadsheet to keep in sync.

Working with me
I built the system this studio runs on. From the proposal to the last invoice, everything about your project is in one place you can sign in to, not scattered across email.
Read it, ask for changes or accept, all online.
Signed in the portal, with a record of who signed and when.
Pay by card. Receipts and balances in one place.
Every stage of the build, and what's waiting on whom.
Approve designs and send revision notes against the exact version.
One thread per project, with every file kept and versioned.

Real work
Alongside the concept builds: a nonprofit's website and the platform it's growing into, the studio's own client system, and a product of my own.
The studio's own platform
Live
The system this studio runs on: a staff workspace, a client portal and the API behind both. Every client project lives here.

How it works
Answer a few questions about your customers, your team and what gets in the way, then pick a time for a 45-minute call. You don't need the technical answer.
Scope, price and timeline arrive in your own portal. Accept it there, then sign the contract there too.
Previews, approvals and feedback rounds all happen in your portal, so nothing gets lost in email.
We go live on your domain. A care plan keeps it hosted, secure and changing as your business does.
Who you’ll work with
I design and build every project myself. You won’t be handed to an account manager, and the person you explain your business to is the person writing the code. That’s why I only work with two clients at a time.
I’m based in Lewiston–Auburn, Maine and work with clients locally and remotely. Besides client work I build and run my own software, including the portal every client project runs in.
Questions
Yes. Once the final invoice is paid, the design, the code and your content are yours, and I'll hand over the repository if you ask for it.
Your domain renews with your registrar. Hosting, updates and small changes are covered by the care plan, or you can host it yourself.
Usually a deposit to start and the rest at milestones, all set out in your proposal. You pay by card from your portal.
It depends on the scope, so your proposal gives real dates before you commit. Plain websites move fastest; a site with a system behind it takes longer.
Two. Every project gets my full attention, so I only work with two clients at a time. When both spots are taken, booking a call pauses, but you can still send your project and I'll reply about when I can start.
Your logo, photos, the facts about your business and someone who can answer questions. Your portal gives you a short checklist so you know exactly what's needed.
Yes. I can rebuild what isn't working, or connect what is: Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Workspace, calendars and the forms you already use.
No. Local clients can meet in person, and everyone else works through the portal and video calls. It works the same either way.
Accessibility is part of the build, not an overlay added afterwards: readable contrast, real form labels, keyboard navigation and alt text, tested on phones as well as desktops.
A few questions about your customers, your team and what gets in the way, then a 45-minute call with me to talk it through.
