A Fresh New Look for Any Other Biz: Luminar Digital Delivers a Clean, Modern Overhaul

Luminar Digital has completed a thoughtful and carefully balanced redesign of the Any Other Biz website, bringing a fresher, more contemporary feel while staying true to the brand’s existing identity. The brief was clear: refresh the site without reinventing it. The result is a cleaner, more intuitive experience that feels new without feeling unfamiliar.

A Subtle Transformation With The7 and WordPress

To achieve this, Luminar Digital rebuilt the site using DreamTheme’s The7 framework on WordPress, a combination chosen for its flexibility, design control, and long‑term maintainability. The7’s powerful backend allowed for a modernised layout that enhances usability while preserving the structure that existing visitors already recognise.

QuickBooks or Xero? Why We’re Giving You the Power to Choose

When I started Any Other Business, my mission was simple: to take the "boring" out of your bookkeeping so you can focus on your craft. For a long time, QuickBooks was our primary tool for making that happen. It’s intuitive, powerful, and excellent for many of the sole traders and SMEs I work with.

That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that Any Other Business is now a Certified Xero Partner. Whether you’re team QuickBooks or team Xero, I’m here to support you with AAT-qualified expertise on the platform that fits your workflow.
