A small studio means we can be choosy. Here's a few of the organizations we've partnered with.
EYOLF
Custom e-commerce & connected business tools
- Stack
- WordPress
- WooCommerce
- InvoiceNinja
- Laravel
- Cloudflare
EYOLF makes climbing gear that lets professionals work safely at great heights.
We designed a website built around their brand's verticality and momentum, then connected the front-end to a custom Laravel inventory portal and a tailored InvoiceNinja deployment; together they quietly streamline the operations behind the storefront.
Belwood Lake Sailing Club
Brand refresh + member portal
- Stack
- WordPress
- Laravel
- Cloudflare
Belwood Lake Sailing Club is a member-run sailing organization in Belwood, Ontario.
We rebuilt their online presence end-to-end and shipped a member portal where sailors renew memberships, register for events, and stay current with the club. The Laravel backend gives administrators the controls they actually need.
Jarvis Ryan Associates
Secure client portal & redesign
- Stack
- Laravel
- PHP
- Microsoft Server
- IIS
Jarvis Ryan Associates is a Mississauga accounting firm serving individuals and organizations across the GTA.
We redesigned their public-facing site around their existing typography, then built Client Cloud: a secure Laravel portal where clients access tax documents and exchange large files with the office. It plugs directly into their existing Microsoft Server / IIS infrastructure.
