Mike Ching's studio
About CHING 7
CHING 7 is my studio for helping clients kick goals. Ching is the name. Seven (7) is my rugby jersey number, back when my knees still cooperated.
We partner with owners who need digital solutions that pay off in real business terms: more enquiries, more bookings, more sales, and stronger trust.
CHING 7 delivers custom solutions built in house: tailored brands, websites, and business tools shaped around how you price, sell, and operate. No generic packages. No template forced to fit.
Mike Ching leads design and delivery for trade businesses, professional services, hospitality, tech startups, and growing teams across Sri Lanka, Australia, Europe, and beyond.
Practical and outcome-led. Less jargon. More clarity for your customers and more confidence for you.
