Who we are:

We are a fast-growing web development agency headquartered in downtown NYC.

We specialize in partnerships with other agencies that provide creative and marketing services, but don’t have web development expertise and resources.

Our project engagements are either white-label OR client-facing in collaboration with Account Managers at our agency partners.

We only partner with premium agencies that offer custom solutions – they expect the best of the best from us so we practice a white-glove approach to web development. This allows us to work on a wide variety of projects for some really cool brands and unique businesses!

What we do:

40% WordPress

Custom theme development, API integrations, ongoing support and optimizations.

Our strategic UI designers provide wireframes, workflow diagrams, functional requirements and visual designs for you to develop into a custom theme and component based backend.

40% Shopify

Custom theme development, API integrations, ongoing support and optimizations.

Our strategic UI designers provide wireframes, workflow diagrams, functional requirements and visual designs for you to develop into a custom theme. For Shopify projects, we also often integrate with client ERP systems and configure a variety of apps to interface with the site.

10% Frontend

Popular JS frameworks (typically Angular, React.js, or Vue), static site generators, Bootstrap, modular development techniques.

These types of projects typically require us to hand off HTML/CSS/js to end-clients so their in-house team can integrate with their own backend.

10% Custom Applications

Web apps in PHP with Laravel, hybrid apps with React Native, native iOS and Android apps.

We generally can choose our own tech stack when it comes to these types of projects, what I listed is what we’ve worked with up to now.
