Our Story

Started in 2013. Still here. Still shipping.

What began as one designer freelancing custom WordPress themes turned into a full studio that now builds for five major commerce platforms.

2013

The Beginning

Founded as a one person WordPress theme studio in Toronto. First client was a local fashion boutique that wanted something better than a marketplace template.

2016

WooCommerce Era

Pivoted to focus on conversion focused storefronts. Shipped our first six figure WooCommerce build. Started hiring developers full time.

2019

Going Multi Platform

Added Shopify and BigCommerce expertise. First Adobe Commerce project shipped for a global cosmetics brand. Team grew to seven.

Today

Where We Are

A focused team of designers and developers shipping work across five platforms, three time zones, and forty plus countries. Still independent. Still answering email.

How We Think

Boring opinions, clearly held.

What we believe, after a decade of shipping themes for clients of every shape and size.

Speed is not optional

If your site loads slower than your competitor’s, you lose customers before they see a single product. Performance is a feature, not a polish item.

Design serves business

Beautiful that does not convert is a portfolio piece, not a result. We measure designs against your business goals, not just our taste.

Code outlasts trends

The fashionable framework today is the legacy code in two years. We pick stacks that will still be supported when your CFO asks why we picked them.

Clients deserve the truth

If your idea is a bad one, we will tell you. If our scope is wrong, we adjust. No agency theatre, no padded estimates, no surprise invoices.

Documentation matters

Every project ships with a Loom walkthrough, a written handover, and a 30 day warranty. You should never feel locked in to your agency.

Smaller is better

We stay deliberately small. Fewer projects, more attention per project. You will know the people building your site by name, not by ticket number.
