Sites we've built. How they work.
Every tile below is a live site we built - most of them we also operate. Each one carries a method line, because the how is the product: the scrapers, the pipelines, the integrations, the models. If a method here would solve something for your business, that's the conversation to have.
What we've built lately.
Content that keeps itself current
Publishing pages that carry numbers - prices, benchmarks, "updated for 2026" posts - and dreading the refresh backlog? We built a statistics site where every figure recomputes from its source, and a Claude routine reads the prose against the data each morning. The patterns transfer to any site.

The parts Shopify Plus B2B doesn't do
Running trade pricing through an ERP and wondering whether Shopify Plus can hold it - the negotiated specials, the volume breaks, the carton rules? We moved around seventy price lists across natively, and built the one piece the platform can't do, so every customer sees the price their rep agreed.
One custom app · nothing extra to host
