# Corelo

> A small creative studio that builds websites, brands, and digital tools for local businesses and larger organisations across the UK.

Corelo is a design and technology studio run by a single operator out of the East Midlands. The studio specialises in low-overhead, pay-monthly websites for small local businesses, alongside brand identity and bespoke digital projects for SMEs and larger entities. Work is delivered through two models: a subscription-based retainer for websites and brand support, and a traditional project scope-and-quote approach for larger builds.

The site showcases a portfolio of client work, explains the studio's services and process, publishes a journal of thinking around brand and digital design, and provides a route to start a conversation or subscribe to a service plan.
