Bygild is a studio that builds
digital products for small UK
ventures, with the data done
properly from day one.
Small UK ventures get offered two things: a cheap website with the data as an afterthought, or an agency invoice they cannot justify. Bygild exists for the gap between them: proper builds, at a fixed fee, with the privacy, consent, and security work done as part of the build, not as an optional extra.
The studio's real specialism is the layer under the website. Every form ships with a lawful basis. Every build has a retention policy. On data-sensitive work, a Data Protection Impact Assessment comes before the first line of code. That discipline is the same whether the client is a hair salon or a venture verifying identity documents.
Six operating principles
the studio is built on.
These are what Bygild is accountable for on every engagement, in every tier. If any of them stops being true, the studio stops doing the work that made them true.
Small UK ventures.
The same discipline at every scale.
Led by Khalid Mohamed,
remote-first, UK-wide.
Bygild started with a pattern. Khalid kept walking past small organisations running on Facebook pages, half-finished Wix sites, or nothing at all, quoted three-month timelines and four-figure fees for sites that should take ten days. He founded the studio in 2026, while reading for a degree in IT Management for Business at the University of West London. As the work grew, the specialism moved beneath the website: the data-protection and governance layer most small builds skip. That layer is now what Bygild is for, and the studio stays intentionally small so the person on the call is the person building the site.
The regulatory groundwork is authored in-house: a UK GDPR Article 28 processor DPA, PECR consent records, retention automation, and an AI governance policy mapped to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001. KeyProof, an identity and evidence tool for car hire firms, is built to that standard, with a DPIA before the first line of code. The thread through all of it: sensitive data handled properly, and a clean record when something goes wrong, the work Khalid is carrying into a 2027 placement year in cyber security and AI governance.
Full refund if the finished
site misses the agreed brief.
Every engagement includes a written proposal that defines scope, pages, integrations, and acceptance criteria. Where an engagement concludes with the studio unable to meet those criteria after the included revision rounds, the engagement fee is refunded in full, with no conditions attached.
The guarantee applies to every engagement. It is the studio's standing commitment on every project we accept.
