Featured work

• AGM Products

  For AGM, we completely redesigned their site from the ground up. AGM had been on a very slow, poorly optimized theme that didn't fit their store at all and didn't allow them to properly feature videos. My team moved them to an entirely new theme, redid the store, performed SEO and Speed Optimization and completed an intuitive and engaging design.

• Elven Forest Creations

  We moved Elven Forest off of Etsy to provide them with a professional, secure platform and to let them escape Etsy fees. Over 20 hours of custom code went into the site design, product pages, unique features, mobile/iOS optimization, and SEO/Speed Optimization. This site is image focused and beautiful, but more importantly it's highly functional and tailored to this business in every way possible.

• Koa Yoga

  Koa Yoga has a very unique and important brand message that we wanted to carry through the site design. We coded in custom fonts, and each section on the homepage is custom HTML. We used a custom page building application to create beautiful landing pages following the business's brand, and implemented SEO & Speed Optimization to make the site perform and rank well!

• Raebird

  Raebird is a handmade jewelry artisan who came to me for a custom Shopify store. My team designed the layout and selected images corresponding to her color palette to create a beautiful and dynamic homepage that led into her pieces. To this day, she continues to sell out every collection within 24 hours, and the ease of Shopify + AfterPay give her a competitive edge.

• Amelia's Handcrafts

  Amelia is a one-woman-show who makes gorgeous handmade leather goods. She was looking to transition off of Etsy and move onto her own website so that she could control the look and design of her site, and escape Etsy's high fees. We created a stunning site using her beautiful imagery and brand colors to show off her creations and make easily-shoppable categories.

Ratings and reviews

• Hellström PrintsSEOAug 19, 2022

  After some unpleasant experiences with big outsourced companies, I was happy to find a boutique company with their team in California. Nicole is a great communicator and answered all my many questions. They did SEO for our site. From what I can see they did a great job and all keywords were implemented in well crafted sentences and in proper English :) Looking forward to working with them again.

• shop.txikiStore build or redesignMar 10, 2022

  They were super helpful and flexible with my website development requests. They were totally willing to readjust components after the initial modification - working with me until I got an end result that I liked. Super grateful.

• Sow's EarLogo and visual brandingNov 24, 2020

  I was very pleased with the process, they helped me understand the aspects that were intimidating to me. Fear of going online with my products was keeping me from taking my small art business to the next level. Making the decision to pay an expert to help was the best thing I could have done. Courteous, professional, and friendly. They helped me design the web store I could only contemplate, Thanks for taking the pain out of the process! Nicole and her team are the best!!
