MiniIk · About
Two makers, one studio.
MiniIk is Steven Savarin and Alberto Prada. Two makers who both do the whole job - the design, the code and the automation behind it - and who answer you themselves.
How we work
You talk to the maker
You talk to the person doing the work. Nothing is relayed through an account manager, and nothing is quietly subcontracted.
How we work
We build our tools
When something is missing we make it, then reuse it. That is why a site with this much motion in it does not take six months.
How we work
Shipped beats perfect
Live and improving is worth more than immaculate and unfinished. We put things in front of real people early.
How we work
Own your platform
Your site, your list, your data. Social accounts are rented ground; we build on the part you actually keep.
Who you are actually talking to
Neither of us has a lane. We both design, build, automate and wire up the agents, so nothing in your project ever gets handed over halfway.
Steven Savarin
I design it and build it end to end, and I look after the motion library this site's animation came out of: close to 700 components, each one written up with the trap that breaks it. I would rather spend a week building the tool than a month doing the same job twice.
Alberto Prada
I move between the UI and the UX, the animation that gives a page life, the APIs underneath it and the SEO that gets it found. Getting those four to pull in the same direction is the part I enjoy most.
Why MiniIk exists
MiniIk started as a complaint. Two of us, in different countries, quietly building the same thing for the fourth time and calling that normal. At some point you either make peace with it or you start keeping what you make.
So we kept it. The library, the pipelines, the small machines that do the boring half. Not because tooling is exciting - it is not - but because we would rather spend a week building something once than a month building it again. That saved time goes straight back into the part you can actually see: how the thing feels when it moves.
The clients we like best are the ones with their own name on the door. A barber, a bakery, a shop somebody's family built. They do not need a marketing department. They need the site to be good, to be found, and to stop eating their evenings. That is the whole job, and we take it personally.
What we are aiming at
To make the kind of site and system that used to need a marketing department into something an independent business can simply have - and to make sure that when someone asks an AI about your trade, your name is the answer it gives.
