StellMare Studios
Helping Gibraltar Busineseses Level Up Their Processes & Reach Their Customers.
The platforms that were supposed to help small businesses have spent the last decade quietly making things worse. Despite investing thousands on social media, businesses are now finding it harder than ever to reach the customers who've already chosen them. Subscription prices climbed while features got cut. Customers stopped trusting the platforms, and businesses found they could no longer reliably reach the people who'd already chosen them. StellMare's easy-to-use tools are a response to that. Our custom tools are built with fully European infrastructure, to support the businesses whose values align with ours, and to reduce reliance on American tech monopolies that have abused our trust for profit. Our platforms ensure you own all your own data and give you user-friendly tools to run your business and serve your customers.
Your Business
We work alongside you to remove what's slowing you down and build only what will actually make a difference.
Practical Business Support
Before recommending any tool, we look at how your business actually works. We sit with your team, map out where time is lost, and help you decide what to fix first — introducing technology only where it will make a genuine difference.
- Process review & mapping
- Workflow redesign
- Make vs. buy decisions
- Change management
Website & Digital Presence
Your website should represent your business, not a template. We build sites you can update yourself, designed so features can be added over time without starting from scratch. Your brand, your content, your control.
- Custom design
- Self-service CMS
- Mobile optimised
- Grows with you
E-Commerce
An online store built around how your business works, not a generic template. Payments run through SumUp, a European provider. Once it's set up, you run it: add products, process orders, handle refunds — no developer needed.
- Custom branding
- SumUp payments
- Inventory & orders
- Sales reporting
Search Engine Optimisation
If people can't find you, nothing else matters. We make sure your site is structured correctly, loads fast, and targets the searches your customers are actually making. Ongoing reporting shows you what's working.
- Technical foundations
- Content strategy
- Core Web Vitals
- Ongoing analytics
Process Improvement & Automation
Most processes made sense at some point. We help you find where things slow down and redesign them to be simpler. Where repetitive work can be automated, we set that up so your people can focus on the work that actually needs them.
- Value stream mapping
- Lean redesign
- Workflow automation
- Team capability building
Project & Task Management
A full project management tool built into the same platform your team already uses. Kanban boards, backlogs, milestones — Agile, waterfall, or whatever works for you. We also deliver projects directly, having shipped regulated technology across the UK and EU.
- Kanban & backlogs
- Milestones & sprints
- Team assignments
- Delivery consulting
Your Customers
The tools to reach people directly, keep them informed, and give them reasons to come back.
GDPR Customer Management
Customer data built around compliance from the start, not bolted on later. Consent tracked, interactions logged, retention policies automated. You own the data — we make sure you handle it correctly under Gibraltar's legislation.
- Consent management
- Audit trails
- Data retention policies
- Right to erasure
Newsletters & Email
Email is still the most direct channel to customers who already want to hear from you. Build campaigns, segment your list, schedule sends. Delivery through MailerSend, entirely within European infrastructure.
- Branded templates
- Audience segmentation
- A/B testing
- Open & click reporting
Discounts & Promotions
Create and run promotional campaigns without raising a support ticket. Percentage or fixed discounts, usage limits, customer targeting. See which promotions generated sales so the next one is based on real data, not guesswork.
- Discount codes
- Loyalty rewards
- Usage limits
- Redemption analytics
Events
Tickets, sign-ups, reminders, attendance — all in one place, no separate platform needed. After the event, everything feeds back into your customer records. Works for workshops, launches, networking evenings, whatever you're running.
- Ticket sales
- Automated reminders
- Attendance tracking
- Post-event analytics
Subscriptions
Memberships, retainers, recurring plans: set them up and the platform handles billing and renewals automatically. Subscribers manage their own details through a self-service portal. Less admin for you, less friction for them.
- Recurring billing
- Flexible plans
- Member portals
- Auto-renewal
Built on European Infrastructure
Every provider we use is European-headquartered. Your data stays on European soil, processed under European law, with no dependency on US cloud platforms. That's not a marketing point — it's a deliberate decision that affects every part of how we built this.
We Know Gibraltar
Operating in Gibraltar means dealing with a regulatory environment that has its own rules, its own timelines, and its own quirks. We've built the platform around that reality, not around somewhere else's compliance requirements.
Company Formation & Management
From initial registration through to ongoing corporate governance, annual filings, and board administration, we provide practical guidance through the whole process. No surprises, no hand-holding gaps between phases.
We know Companies House, we know the licensing frameworks, and we know the practical realities of running a business on the Rock.
Local Regulatory Compliance
Gibraltar's regulatory framework spans data protection, financial services, electronic commerce, and employment law. Our compliance tools and advisory services are built around the jurisdiction's specific requirements, not adapted from somewhere larger and hoped for the best.
We keep track of legislative changes and flag the ones that affect your business before they become your problem.
AML/CTF Compliance
If your business requires Anti-Money Laundering or Counter-Terrorism Financing compliance, we've built the tooling for it — KYC procedures, risk scoring, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting, all built into the platform rather than requiring a separate system.
Aligned with the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission's requirements and the current EU AML directives, so your compliance records are in order without needing a dedicated compliance officer to maintain them manually.
Let's Talk
If you're tired of paying for tools that don't quite fit, relying on external developers for changes you should be able to make yourself, or struggling to reach customers you've already won over, we hope you'll get in touch. We'll have an honest conversation about what you actually need.
