Working with Linshi
Linshi Studio is an independent, founder-led web studio operated from China and serving UK businesses remotely. It is not presented as a UK-registered company. The person discussing your brief is the person designing and building the work.
Our review approach is informed by recurring website patterns studied across 12 UK local-service categories. This is research experience, not a claim of paid client work.
You receive the agreed pages, inclusions, price, timeline and payment milestones in writing before work begins.
Each paid project has a written delivery checklist, including the agreed pages, checks, handover items and any client-owned account access.
Reported faults in the agreed delivered scope are reviewed for seven days after handover. If an agreed part remains undelivered and cannot be remedied, the undelivered part is refunded.
