Studio 1947 Local
Websites, branding and digital support for shops, homestays and family-run services
across Mirik, Darjeeling and the surrounding hills, priced for small local businesses.
Why This Rate Card Exists
Many homestays, shops and family-run services around Mirik and Darjeeling need a website, a Google listing or a stronger digital presence, but standard agency packages can be beyond their budgets. Studio 1947 Local offers focused services with clear deliverables and practical prices, making professional support easier to access.
A business rooted in and run from Mirik, Darjeeling or the surrounding hills: a family renting out homestay rooms, a neighbourhood shop, an independent driver, or a small service run by one person or one family. This programme is designed around the everyday needs of independently operated local businesses.
Larger campaigns, custom platforms and projects with broader requirements need a different scope. Businesses, startups and NGOs with dedicated project funding or more extensive needs can work with Studio 1947 through our regular solutions. This keeps the local programme focused on the small businesses it was built to support.

Beyond the Basics
For understanding your guests, managing your business and building your team's confidence.
Short surveys and interviews with past guests and travellers, so you know what people actually want, before you spend on branding, a website or a new room. Comes back as a plain-language report with clear recommendations.
A simple live dashboard pulling together occupancy, stock levels and sales, so you can see how the business is doing at a glance instead of checking three different registers or apps.
A focused push for a specific season or launch, planned creatives, captions and posting schedule bundled together, on top of (not instead of) the monthly social media package.
Ongoing design support beyond the one-time starter set, menus, offer creatives, festival posts, print material, whenever you need something designed and don’t want to start from scratch each time.
A hands-on session for you or your staff on running your own Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp accounts confidently, posting, replying, and reading basic insights, without depending on us for every post.
A guided half-day session for your team to work through a real problem you are facing, using structured exercises rather than an open-ended brainstorm, and leave with a concrete next step.
