Sivusto Digital

What Sivusto Digital does

Sivusto Digital Oy is a privately held, bootstrapped Finnish digital services agency headquartered in Helsinki (Business ID 2420156-0), operating with a headcount of 1–10 and a single publicly identified contact (Kim Westerberg). It delivers bespoke digital solutions — concept design, UI/UX design, visual and corporate identity design, backend and frontend development, integrations, continuous development, and maintenance — built on React for application surfaces, WordPress and WooCommerce for content and commerce, and custom CMS implementations with specialized content types (recipe systems, booking systems, scalable Q&A hosting). Its revenue model is project-based professional services with no public pricing, acquired through direct enterprise and mid-market engagement rather than channel or partner motions.

The company's visible book of business consists of six case studies: a multi-year cybersecurity extranet for F-Secure since 2014 with weekly releases and expanding country coverage; the 'Kysy mitä vain' Q&A platform for Helsinki City Library handling ~100,000 Q&A items and delivering 3x–4x visitor growth; a unified website and lunch-menu system for Ravintola Factory; a blog plus WooCommerce store plus identity and book layout for Makeaa Baking; a React-integrated booking platform plus identity for Namina Day Spa; and a 40+-location website plus React membership form for Fressi24. Customer segments span enterprise (F-Secure), government (Helsinki City Library), mid-market (Ravintola Factory, Fressi), and SMB (Namina, Makeaa Baking), with a horizontal segmentation approach. The firm's current public positioning emphasizes AI process optimization for developers and autonomous agent-based system maintenance, though no proprietary AI products, models, patents, or disclosures support a deeper AI stack beyond tooling integration.
