Example designs for fictional businesses, demos that work in your browser, and how we compare. Every real project starts with a free concept of your own homepage.
Every business has its own personality.
No templates. Each site is designed around the business, its customers and how they like to buy or book. Hover a design to scroll through it.
All of these are concept designs made by Hive for fictional businesses, to show our range. Designs we make for real businesses are shared only with that business.

You run the business. We handle the tech.
Agency quality. Not agency prices or waiting lists.
