Orchestrix is industry-agnostic by principle. The list above reflects the local economy in Cardiff; it is not a claim that the bureau works only in those sectors. If your business sits outside the list, that is fine. Bring it to the triage.

Questions from Cardiff SMBs.
- Are you actually based in Cardiff?
- No. Orchestrix is one operator (Alex Sais) based in Nottingham. The bureau works with businesses across the UK; Cardiff engagements get the same fixed-fee, audit-first treatment as everywhere else. The site never pretends to be local to every city the work covers. ~170 miles south-west via M5/M50/M4; ~3h by train.
- Will you actually visit Cardiff, or is everything remote?
- On-site is available when it earns its place. The workflow audit typically benefits from a day in your office, watching the team work. Subsequent build delivery is mostly remote (the work is mostly code), with on-site review sessions at sensible checkpoints. Travel is built into the audit fee for Cardiff; nothing surprise on the invoice.
- What pillars do you run for Cardiff businesses?
- Same as everywhere: Strategy & Service Design (the workflow audit), Engineering (automation, integrations, internal tools, bespoke apps), Data & AI (dashboards, pipelines, LLM-augmented workflows), and Managed Delivery (ongoing hosting and evolution). Plus a parallel Hosted Website Plan for businesses that just need a working site. The audit comes first.
- Is there a minimum business size for Cardiff engagements?
- The bureau's ICP is UK SMBs with 5 to 50 staff and budgets between £2,000 and £25,000 per project. Smaller businesses, sole traders, and pre-trading startups usually don't fit the audit-first model and are routed honestly to a better fit. Larger mid-market and enterprise enquiries are a different conversation.
- How does pricing work in Cardiff?
- Same as every other engagement: free 15-minute triage, then a fixed-fee workflow audit from £2,500, then fixed-fee builds against the punch list. Travel to Cardiff is built into the audit fee. No hourly billing, no mystery line items.
