Sailors Ski Trip

The Sailors Ski Trip is a not for profit initiative meant to keep Tall Ships Race’s sailors connected during the winter season. This initiative has grown since 2011 into a successful recurring event which has been taking place year on year without interruption. From the Italian Dolomites to the Swiss and Austrian Alps, the Sailors Ski Trip gathers each years between 16 and 20 people from international horizons who enjoy skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, sledging, or just walking, cooking, drinking and having fun.

Our client required us to create a website that would allow them to promote their annual events, while showing how fun and dynamic this group is. In addition to creating an easy to browse multi page website using parallax technology, we integrated a ticket system allowing visitors to book their trip directly from the website. We also created an inspiring logo for all Sailors Ski Trip participants to identify themselves with. Furthermore, the website has been optimized to offer a speedy and flawless browsing experience, and benefits from the best security plugins and services (daily backups, SSL, Cloudflare DNS, iTheme Security).

Flea Market Insiders

Flea Market Insiders is a top-rated travel & lifestyle blog, which receives over 145,000 page views per month from 75,000 visitors (150+ countries). The blog is regularly featured as a reliable source of information in the travel & lifestyle industry, and has appeared in publications like the Wall Street Journal, Homes & Antiques, Refinery 29, NPR, HGTV Magazine, Forbes and the Huffington Post. With a fast growing monthly readership, the editorial team of Flea Market Insiders needed a complete revamp of their blog interface, brand, structure and content organization, while ensuring their site followed web’s best practices. We migrated their database and web content to a more efficient service provider, and optimized their site by enhancing their WordPress installation through site speed optimization (5x faster than before), SEO, and WP security measures. Plugins and WordPress core files updates, security scanning, and backups are part of the day-to-day maintenance service we also provide to Flea Market Insiders.

Sam-architects

Sam-architects is an architectural firm based in Vienna, Austria, which provides a wide range of architecture services for private individuals, businesses and local administration. The firm needed a full revamps of its website, in order to offer its suppliers and prospect a more “visual” and interactive platform, as well as an accurate showcase of its competencies and achievements. We set-up and customized a highly-functional and responsive template, that complied with the firm’s expectations in terms of speed, accessibility and mobile friendliness. Plugins and WordPress core files updates, security scanning, and backups are part of the day-to-day maintenance service we provide to the firm.

Vintralab

Vintralab is an e-commerce website that sells digital downloads of enhanced quality images from original vintage luggage labels. Our client wanted a minimalist and lightweight platform that would load fast even with low bandwidth, look just as great on desktops as on mobile devices, and which would offer a seamless shopping & checkout experience (with a client management module). After investigating and testing a variety of plugins, we implemented a solution that would offer an advanced shopping experience combined with a secure checkout system (PayPal and Stripe), while ensuring that the speed imperative and multi-device user experience where respected.

VintageLab

VitangeLab was launched in May 2015 by two home decor and second hand furniture enthusiasts. They reached out to us to help them create an online marketplace, specifically dedicated to showcasing a selection of very specific merchandises from a handful of trusted professional eBay antiques dealers. The particularity of this marketplace is that it had to be able to store up to 1,000 carefully sorted and referenced items, and rely exclusively on eBay’s Affiliate program. On top of that, we implemented a technology that automatically “vacuums” a very specific range of eBay items, therefore helping dramatically reduce the website’s daily maintenance cost.
