Case studies · Orchestrix

Real work.
Real numbers.

Every case study here is a real engagement. The big-number studies are anonymised; the client wall further down is named, live, and clickable. The numbers are accurate, from a 4-person UK practice to a global aerospace group, and the method is the same at every size.

The rule

Real cases. No logos.

Clients don’t always want to be used as marketing. Some would be fine with it; others wouldn’t. Rather than cherry-picking the ones who said yes, we anonymise every corporate case study. Each one keeps the sector, the size, the geography, the problem, and the result, all accurate. The name, the logo, and anything that would identify the specific business, all removed. (The client wall further down is the one honest exception: when the work is a public website, the work names itself.)

The numbers are the anchor. More than £2M found at an aerospace group. £481,855 a year off a licence bill. 14 hours a week per worker back at a recruitment operation. An 85% network cost cut. These are documented outcomes with real invoices behind them, and if you ask when we chat, Alex can share the detail under NDA. The public site keeps it clean.

One honest caveat: these are proof the method works, not a promise of your return. The same approach, sized for a small business, is how we work every day.

Client work

Named clients. Live sites.

Not everything gets anonymised. These are the small businesses we build for today: websites and systems on our hosted plan or as fixed-fee projects, all live on the open internet right now. Most we host and care for month to month; one runs on a server of its very own, handed over in full. No mock-ups, no portfolio screenshots. Click through and kick the tyres on the real thing.

Driving school · NottinghamWebsite plan client

ACG Driving School

Automatic driving lessons in Nottingham. We rebuilt the old WordPress site from scratch: fast, mobile-first, with pages built to be found across the city, an instructor franchise page, and Instagram reels playing right on the site.

Sleep consultancy · UK-wideWebsite plan client

Rest & Reassured

Baby and toddler sleep support for exhausted parents. We built a calm, mobile-first site for people reading on a phone at 3am, with an enquiry form wired straight to her inbox and a one-tap WhatsApp line.

Florist & gift shop · BakewellWebsite plan client

The Bramble Hollow

A wild and woodland flower and gift shop in the Peak District. We built a site with a weddings page and a seasonal section that turns itself on and off by the calendar: the Christmas range appears in November and packs itself away again without anyone touching a thing.

Holiday caravan hire · Skegness coastWebsite plan client

Scrumptious Holiday Caravans

Six holiday caravans across Ingoldmells and Skegness. The site pulls live availability straight from their booking system, and a self-service editor means they update their own prices, photos, and captions. No tickets, no waiting on us.

Vehicle recovery · RotherhamWebsite plan client

A.O Recovery

24-hour vehicle recovery and roadside assistance out of Rotherham. We built the site around the phone number, with local coverage pages for Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, and Derbyshire so stranded drivers searching nearby actually find them.

Electrical & renovation · East MidlandsOwn server + site

Luxe Haus Living

An electrical and renovation firm. We set up their own hardened server, built a 12-page site on it, and handed the lot over in their name: domain, server, code, everything.

Every link above goes to the production site, not a staging copy. What you see is what their customers see, today.

Industries we’ve touched

Same method, any trade.

The case studies above span recruitment, aerospace, manufacturing, and a four-person professional practice. Day to day we’ve also built for driving schools, care providers, florists, trades, and holiday accommodation. The industry changes; the mess (systems not talking, work re-typed by hand) barely does.

More on request

Not everything gets published.

The published studies don’t cover every engagement. The track record also includes network builds, hosting migrations, custom software, a heavily regulated onboarding process for a care provider made to run itself, and operational audits for businesses from four users to global groups. Some clients prefer to stay off the site entirely, and that’s fine by us.

If you’re wondering whether we’ve worked on something like your problem before (a particular sector, a particular tool, a particular scale of mess), just ask. You’ll get an honest answer, and it costs nothing either way.

Got a similar mess?

Tell us what’s slowing you down and we’ll say straight whether we can fix it, and what the fixed price would be. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll point you at someone who is.
