Multi-Tenant SaaS Platform
Apex Steward — AI-Augmented IAM Governance
Mid-market security teams (roughly 250 to 2,500 employees) are stuck in the IAM governance gap. Spreadsheets and Confluence pages don't scale, but enterprise IGA platforms like SailPoint and Saviynt routinely run $150,000 to $500,000 in implementation fees with six- to nine-month rollouts. The manual work itself is the bottleneck — an IAM analyst typically spends around 8 hours transcribing a single vendor doc or policy PDF into a structured role matrix, and a typical mid-market org has 30 to 50 of those documents. The result: governance projects stall, audits slip, and access reviews happen in spreadsheets that nobody trusts.
We built Apex Steward as a multi-tenant SaaS platform purpose-built for that gap. The core differentiator is an AI ingestion pipeline — Voyage AI for embeddings, Anthropic Claude for extraction, and a custom blend-diff algorithm that reconciles AI output with anything an analyst has already authored. Upload a PDF or DOCX and roles, applications, entitlements, and policy statements land in the workspace already structured. A live NIST CSF-aligned maturity dashboard scores the program across identity lifecycle, access governance, privileged access, monitoring, and compliance, and the phased implementation plan reorders itself based on what the data actually says.

Self-Serve AI Diagnostic Tool
Apex Audit — AI-Powered Automation Diagnostic
Most operators know they have manual work hiding in the business, but they can't quantify it. Traditional automation audits mean a 2- to 4-week consulting engagement priced anywhere from $5,000 to $25,000 — and most mid-market teams either can't justify the spend or can't wait that long for findings. Meanwhile manual work compounds: the same customer data re-entered across three systems, weekly reports rebuilt from scratch, approval chains living inside email threads. For a 50-person team losing roughly 5 hours/week/person to manual workflows at a $50/hr blended rate, that's around $650,000 a year of hidden operational drag — and nobody has a number on it.
We built Apex Audit as a two-tier diagnostic. The Quick Audit is free, takes about 4 minutes, and scores 9 operational categories — Data Entry, Document Processing, Communication, Customer Operations, Finance, HR, Sales & Marketing, IT, Reporting — into an A+ to F grade with the top 3 automation opportunities and a quick-wins count. The Deep Audit unlocks a 50-question assessment, an AI-generated personalized report with specific tool recommendations, an implementation roadmap with timelines, and ROI projections per automation. Both tiers run instantly, with no signup for the Quick path, and the Deep tier delivers in minutes what a consulting firm would deliver in weeks.
Read MoreJG Lighting & Design
Interior design is a visual business, and the old website wasn't doing the work justice. Prospective clients judge a designer by the imagery on their site within seconds, so a slow, cluttered WordPress theme was losing leads before the phone ever rang. The studio needed a modern interior designer website that felt as refined as the rooms they actually design — without trapping the owner in a custom build they couldn't update themselves.
We rebuilt JG Lighting & Design as a photography-first WordPress website with a clean grid, calm typography, and responsive layouts that behave on every screen. The content model is structured around projects and services so the owner can publish a new lookbook or room study without touching code. Performance, accessibility, and clean semantic markup were baked in so the site rewards both the reader and the search and AI engines that index interior designer websites.
Read MoreDr. Mary Lindahl
What should a therapist's website actually feel like? The old site answered that question with generic stock photos and dense blocks of text — the opposite of how a good first session feels. Prospective clients often visit in a fragile moment, and an overwhelming psychotherapy website pushes them away before they ever reach the services page. The practice needed something calmer, clearer, and noticeably easier to book from.
We redesigned marylindahlphd.com as a quiet WordPress site with restrained typography, generous spacing, and a tone that matches how Dr. Lindahl actually speaks with clients. Service pages explain psychotherapy, consultation, and supervision in plain English, and the contact flow is reduced to the smallest number of steps a nervous visitor can still complete. The structure also gives search engines and AI answer engines clean, well-labeled content about what the practice offers and who it serves.
Read MoreData-Clear
Data services is a high-trust category — buyers evaluating a vendor form an opinion about competence from the first screen. The previous data-clear.com was aging, generic, and didn't differentiate the firm from a dozen look-alike competitors. Leadership needed a digital presence that felt as serious as their actual operations and made it obvious what the firm does and who it serves.
We rebuilt data-clear.com as a crisper WordPress business website focused on service clarity, positioning, and a credible visual system. The information architecture walks a prospect from "what you do" to "who you do it for" to "how to talk to someone," with copy tightened so each page answers a specific buyer question. The WordPress stack keeps the internal team in control as services evolve.
Read MoreMeridian Data Pro
Analytics firms live and die on credibility, and Meridian Data Pro's site had to survive the skeptical glance of both marketing leaders and technical buyers. The old experience was either too corporate or too abstract — visitors couldn't tell which services were on offer or which use cases the firm actually served. Leadership wanted something that read as modern, technical, and competent without drifting into buzzwords.
We built meridiandatapro.com on WordPress with a clean service hierarchy, a clear point of view, and copy that respects a technical reader. Data analytics, omni-channel communications, and supporting services each get their own focused page, so someone searching for a specific capability lands somewhere that actually answers their question. The build is fast, accessible, and straightforward for the internal team to maintain.
Read MoreHealth Care for Real Life
Most healthcare websites are slow, clinical, and written in a voice that makes people feel worse about their questions. This platform needed to behave like a modern consumer product — fast, readable, and warm — while still meeting the accuracy and compliance bar healthcare content requires. A legacy front end was blocking that on every front.
We contributed to a modern React front end served through Nginx, rebuilding the key user flows with a component library that stayed consistent across every page. The design emphasizes readable typography, meaningful whitespace, and a tone that talks to patients instead of at them. Performance, accessibility, and SEO fundamentals were treated as non-negotiable from the first commit.
Read MoreWorkouts and Studio Classes (iFit)
Fitness platforms live on how quickly a user can find a workout they actually want to do. If class discovery is slow, the next tab wins. iFit needed a browsing experience that could handle a large, growing library of classes and instructors while still loading instantly on a phone propped on a treadmill. The older flow was making users work too hard to find the next workout.
We contributed to the React front end and Node services supporting class discovery and scheduling, focusing on performance, filterability, and a layout that rewards casual browsing. The goal was a consumer-grade feel: smooth scrolling, meaningful previews, and information architecture that makes "what should I do today?" a one-tap answer. Backend interactions were kept crisp so the front end never stalled on data.
Read MoreGoWild Community and Gear Platform
Community platforms are hard because two very different jobs have to happen on the same screen: social content that invites scrolling, and commerce flows that close a sale. Most sites do one well and pay for it on the other. GoWild needed both — a feed that felt social and a gear store that felt decisive — without the architecture collapsing under its own weight.
We contributed to the Next.js and React front end with Node services and Tailwind styling, focused on keeping both sides of the product fast and legible. Social feeds were optimized for scroll performance and rich media, while product pages were rebuilt for clarity and a straightforward purchase flow. A shared component library kept the community and commerce experiences consistent rather than feeling like two different apps bolted together.
Read MoreMarymount University
A university website is really hundreds of websites with one URL — programs, admissions, campus life, faculty, research, news. Every department has its own audience and its own content calendar. Marymount needed a WordPress environment that kept everything on-brand while letting distributed teams publish without breaking the site.
We contributed to WordPress work for marymount.edu, focused on editorial workflows, template consistency, and page performance across a large content footprint. The structure lets program pages, news, and landing content each serve its own audience without forking into a dozen different visual dialects. As an Arlington, Virginia institution, local search and higher-education SEO were treated as part of the core work, not an afterthought.
Read MoreJOCO Cups
Lifestyle brands need a site that tells a story as well as it sells. A rigid template pushes the brand toward the same look as every other ecommerce site, which is the opposite of how a differentiated product wins attention. JOCO Cups needed a WordPress foundation flexible enough to publish campaigns, stories, and product content without fighting the CMS.
We contributed to jococups.com as a content-led WordPress build, shaping page templates and content patterns that let the brand publish lifestyle stories, campaigns, and product pages with the same ease. The visual system is quiet enough to let photography lead, and the editorial experience is simple enough that the marketing team can ship a new story without a developer in the loop.
Read MoreAirport Experience by OTG
Travel content has a hard job: the reader is stressed, on a phone, possibly roaming, and just wants a clear answer to a specific question — where do I eat, what's in this terminal, how does this work? A heavy, cluttered travel website fails the moment a traveler opens it. OTG needed a site that respected the reality of a traveler's attention.
We contributed to otgexp.com as a WordPress site tuned for fast, clean content delivery across terminals, amenities, and partner experiences. Page templates are structured so a traveler can answer one question quickly and move on. The editorial system is built for a marketing team that publishes often, across many properties, without breaking consistency.
Read MoreDesigning for Radical Transparency
A product built on transparency can't hide behind vague marketing pages — the site itself has to prove the claim. That means real data, real interaction, and a build that performs under scrutiny. The team needed a platform that could present detailed, sometimes-complex information without losing the casual reader, on a stack that could scale with the product.
We contributed to a Vue and Nuxt front end with Node services on AWS, optimized for interactivity and server-rendered content that search engines and AI crawlers can actually read. The interaction model lets a visitor go as deep as they want — from a summary headline to the underlying detail — without jumping between disconnected pages. AWS handles the infrastructure side so the team could focus on the product story.
Read MoreRent for Flexible Living
Renting is a fundamentally mobile, high-anxiety decision — people compare units in tabs, lose track of what they liked, and abandon sites that make them work too hard. The rental journey had to feel closer to a shopping experience than a spreadsheet. An aging front end made that impossible.
We contributed to an Angular and TypeScript front end on AWS, focused on fast search, smooth unit discovery, and a comparison flow that respects how people actually shop for rentals. TypeScript kept the codebase safe as features multiplied, and AWS gave the team the reliability they needed for a platform used at high-intent moments. The UX was shaped around the specific questions renters ask: what can I afford, where is this, what's nearby, can I tour it.
Read MoreSK Gaming
Esports audiences are young, mobile, and fast to leave anything that feels slow or dated. The existing SK Gaming experience needed a step up — more dynamic, more app-like, and capable of delivering news, rosters, and schedules without the full-page reloads a 2015 site would rely on. It had to feel like a product, not a magazine.
We contributed to a PHP and Laravel backend with jQuery-driven interactivity, wrapped in a PWA shell so the experience could install on phones and feel app-like without a native build. Pages for teams, matches, schedules, and editorial content were each tuned for speed and shareability. The PWA layer let power-fans come back to skgaming.com the way they'd open an app, not a bookmark.

Hipcamp
Outdoor travel discovery is different from hotel booking — people browse in bursts, often near the edge of cell coverage, and need to trust that a campsite looks like its photos. A mobile app for this job has to handle imagery-heavy discovery, location-aware browsing, and booking with equal weight. The experience had to feel like a travel product, not a form.
We contributed to Hipcamp's iOS and Android experience, focused on smooth discovery, strong imagery, and flows that hold up on weak mobile data in rural areas. Native components handle the interactive parts — maps, galleries, booking — so the app stays responsive even when the network doesn't. The design keeps the outdoor feel of the brand without sacrificing the tight UX mobile commerce requires.

Whoop Triggerz
A mobile-first product has no place to hide. If the app stutters, lags, or ignores platform conventions, users churn on day one. Whoop Triggerz needed an experience that felt at home on both iOS and Android without flattening into a cross-platform lowest-common-denominator feel.
We contributed to iOS and Android builds focused on native engagement patterns — platform-appropriate gestures, transitions, and performance. Shared logic was isolated from platform-specific UI so each version could feel like a real member of its platform. Interaction details were tuned for responsiveness, since product apps live or die on how fast they feel.

Createful
An iOS-only product has the luxury of being truly native — which also raises the bar. Anything less than a polished, Apple-grade feel shows up immediately against the apps it sits next to on the home screen. Createful needed an experience that respected iOS conventions and read as a product a designer would actually use.
We contributed to an iOS build focused on platform-native interaction: proper navigation patterns, legitimate use of system components, and a visual language that matches the current iOS design sensibility. The UX favors clarity over cleverness — each screen has a single obvious action — so the app rewards quick, confident use rather than exploration.

WVFV Radio
Radio and streaming apps have one job: get audio playing quickly and keep it playing. Anything between the listener and the sound — load times, awkward players, confusing navigation — is a reason to switch apps. WVFV needed an iOS and Android experience built around that single truth.
We contributed to iOS and Android builds focused on a fast path to playback and reliable background audio. Native players handle streaming so the app behaves correctly with the lock screen, Bluetooth, and external audio devices. Navigation is tight — listeners hit play in the first screen and move from there.

Rocket Homes Real Estate
Home shopping happens in stolen moments — on a couch, in a car, in line somewhere. A real-estate app that can't render a listing quickly, save it reliably, and come back fresh the next time loses users to faster competitors. The app had to carry the brand's trust while feeling as quick as any consumer product people already use.
We contributed to the Rocket Homes iOS and Android apps, focused on listings that render quickly, maps that behave natively, and a saved-properties flow that never feels broken. Native components handle the heavy parts — imagery, mapping, filters — so the app stays smooth in the short sessions home shoppers actually spend with it.

Fanner Cam
Camera-first apps have to get out of the user's way. If the camera doesn't open fast, the moment is gone. If capture feels clunky, people reach for the stock camera. Fanner Cam had to feel like a first-class iOS camera experience, with content tools that add value without slowing the capture.
We contributed to an iOS build focused on fast camera launch, native capture, and a content flow that keeps capture and review within easy thumb reach. The app uses Apple's native camera and media frameworks so it behaves the way iPhone users already expect. Content tools live around the capture moment, not in front of it.

Cloud Operations / Managed Services
Automated Website Backup & Monitoring Infrastructure
It's frustrating how often websites just go down. SSL expires, someone forgets to renew the domain, backups never actually run. Worse, nobody realizes there's a problem until the site is already broken. Our clients wanted to offer managed website services but couldn't without knowing their sites were actually safe.
We built an automated system that watches every client's site 24/7. Backups happen automatically, SSL expiration gets flagged before it's a problem, and there's a clear monthly health report. It's running on AWS S3 with UpdraftPlus and Better Stack doing the heavy lifting. The clients sleep better, and we can offer real managed services instead of crossing our fingers.
