The Studio

Small by design.

We are a small studio in Catalonia, working with businesses and organizations in Spain and the United States. We take on only a handful of clients a year, and we look after their websites, email and social pages the way we would our own. Small is on purpose. You talk to the people actually doing the work, and nothing gets passed down a chain. Behind the studio is thirty years running everything behind a national travelling ministry, from the website and the backend to the payroll, the shipping and the live streams, plus fifteen more across property, publishing and platform businesses.

Content, social, talking to you

The part everyone sees. Posts planned, written and scheduled. Enquiries answered, comments replied to, and your tone kept consistent across every platform. It should sound like your business, not like an agency, and that only happens because someone sat down and listened to how you talk about it. Ruba has spent years running social pages, customer conversations and content for small businesses and ministries, so she knows how to make the online side of a business feel like a person, not a broadcast.

Design, building, upkeep

The part nobody sees. Sites built, hosted and kept running. Backups, security, updates, and a short note at the end of every month telling you what actually happened. Done properly, this is the work you never have to think about. Michael pastored and led worship for thirty years while running the website, email, media and back office for a national ministry, so he has been the person all of this fell to.

Why We Started

Where Ashera comes from.

We started Ashera because of how it felt to be on the other side of it. We hired people to look after our own businesses, and every time it was somebody else's rushed project. The same template as everyone else, nothing that fitted how we actually worked, and nobody really listening. We were a number on a list.

What we wanted was simple. Someone paying attention. Someone who understood that a business only grows when the person looking after it actually cares whether it does.

Not a spreadsheet at the end of the month counting how many likes you got. That tells you nothing about whether anyone walked through your door.

We know what small business owners need because we are small business owners. We know what it takes to get people through that door, and what it costs you when nobody comes. It is also why we do both halves of the job: the part everyone sees, and the part nobody does. Most studios pick one.
