Matta Ruiz Construcciones

Live

A bilingual brand home for one of Santa Teresa's leading builders — boutique and confident, with a project portfolio that lets their work speak across the whole Nicoya Peninsula.

Matta Ruiz has spent over twenty years building luxury homes, custom pools, and high-end finishes across the Nicoya Peninsula — but had never owned the brand presence to match. We gave them one: a calm, confident, bilingual site that looks as considered as the work it showcases. Clients explore services through a smooth flyout layer and browse finished projects — Casa Buenos Aires, Casa Delicias, Hotel Mint — in full-screen galleries that let the craftsmanship carry the sale. A clear four-step process sets expectations, and a contact form drops straight into WhatsApp, where their mostly-mobile clientele actually talks. Spanish-first, fast on a phone in the field, and built to grow as their portfolio does.

Technical Approach

Server-rendered and image-optimized so it stays fast on a phone with field signal, without compromising the photography a builder is judged by. The brand's identity is captured in a dedicated design package — palette, type, and detailing — so every page is unmistakably theirs and trivial to extend as new projects ship. Bilingual at the foundation, not bolted on.

Awaken Shop - Custom Shopify Theme

Live

A custom storefront that feels like a true extension of the author's brand — not a bolted-on widget — selling print-on-demand book merchandise in two languages.

Most authors end up with a generic embedded store that breaks the spell of their brand. We didn't want that for Awaken, so we built a complete custom storefront that carries the exact look and feel of the main site straight through to checkout. The hard part was the merchandise itself: print-on-demand products with dozens of size-and-color combinations, images that switch as you choose, prices that adjust per size, and a cart that updates without reloading. We made all of it feel effortless, in fully bilingual English and Spanish. The result is a shop readers never feel they've 'left the site' to reach.

Technical Approach

Rather than embed a third-party store, we rebuilt the commerce platform's base theme from the ground up to match the brand exactly, then solved the genuinely tricky parts: deep variant structures, dynamic media and pricing tied to selection, and an asynchronous cart. Localization runs through the platform's native language system so English and Spanish are first-class, not a translation layer.

Awaken to Life - Book Launch Site

Live

A bilingual launch home for a spiritual memoir — fast, beautiful, accessible to everyone, with its own signup and a dashboard the author actually uses.

Author Dorian Des Lauriers needed a launch platform that matched the spirit of his awakening memoir and worked for every reader — including those using a screen reader or a slow connection. We delivered both: a site that scores near-perfect on Google's quality checks and is fully keyboard- and screen-reader-accessible. Readers sign up through a custom system, and the author follows interest in real time from his own dashboard — live stats, one-click export, secure login — no spreadsheets, no developer required. The whole experience is bilingual, with animated light-ray visuals that hold up in both light and dark. A launch page that feels like the book it's introducing.

Engineered for accessibility and speed from the first line — every interactive element reachable by keyboard and announced correctly, with analytics offloaded so they never slow the page. The signup is a self-contained system with its own secure admin and exports, and bilingual routing is handled at the framework level so each language is a real page, good for search and for sharing.

LvlUp Handyman

Live

A handyman site for Sacramento that nobody forgets — a bold retro-arcade look that turns a commodity service into a brand, built to bring in leads.

Handyman websites all look the same — and all blend together. LvlUp wanted to be the one people remember, so we leaned all the way into a retro-arcade identity: sharp angles, pixel type, 3D touches, and not a single rounded corner anywhere. Underneath the personality, it's a serious lead-generation site: clear calls to action, fast on every device, fully accessible, and dark-mode ready. The look gets attention; the structure turns that attention into booked jobs in the Sacramento market. Distinctive on purpose — because being forgettable is the real risk.

The bold visual language is carried by lightweight, hand-tuned styling and selective 3D touches that stay smooth on a phone — personality without a performance penalty.

The Chorotega Hotel

Live

A bilingual home for a boutique eco-hotel in Montezuma — calm, grounded, unmistakably Costa Rica — that loads fast and turns visitors into guests.

The Chorotega is an eco-hotel and art retreat built around Blue Zone living and spiritual hospitality. The site had to feel like that — and still do the practical work of booking guests. We gave it room showcases, a contact form that reliably reaches the owners (spam-protected, with email that actually lands), and a deep teal-and-sage palette pulled from the jungle and ocean around it. Video sells a place like this, so we made sure every guest — on hotel wifi or rural mobile — gets a fast, beautiful first impression instead of a spinning loader. Proof that 'eco' and 'fast' aren't a trade-off.

Server-rendered for speed and search, with media delivered at the right size for every device and connection — so the imagery a hotel lives or dies on never costs it a visitor on a slow line. Contact handling is hardened against spam with reliable email delivery, and the site is bilingual at the routing level rather than translated after the fact.

ECOS Costa Rica

Live

An image-rich portfolio that lets a Costa Rican construction and architecture firm's built work do the selling — dozens of projects, every photo sharp and instant to load.

For a construction and project-management firm, the work is the pitch — so the site had to make their built projects look as good on a screen as they do in person, without ever feeling slow. We built seventeen individual project galleries with full-screen viewing, a featured-work grid on the homepage, and a contact path protected against spam with dependable email. The catch with a photo-heavy site is weight; we solved it so hundreds of high-resolution images load crisply and near-instantly, each with a smooth blur-up as it arrives. It became our reference point for doing image-heavy sites right.

All Star Realty Alaska

Live

We turned a small Alaska property-management firm into a team that runs like a much bigger one — one platform for their public site, their daily operations, AI agents that answer tenants around the clock, and social posts that publish across five networks on their own.

All Star came to us for a website. It grew into the system that runs their business. Their team now works from one dashboard to manage listings, tenants, and properties — while AI voice and text agents field the questions that used to eat the day, and a publishing engine keeps them visible across Facebook, Instagram, X, Bluesky, and Google Business without anyone writing a post. Behind it, live listings sync from ShowMojo, records flow in from AppFolio, text messaging stays compliant, and Google performance surfaces in plain language — so the owner makes decisions on what's really happening, not guesswork, and can see progress without touching a technical tool. It's the most ambitious thing we've built: a dozen connected systems and seventeen outside services working as one — so a small team can compete like a large one.

Architected to grow with the business instead of being rebuilt a year later.

Camino a Casa CR

Live

A warm, reassuring home for a Costa Rican adoption-consulting practice — built to feel like a steady hand for families at an emotional moment.

Families arriving here are often anxious and unsure where to begin. The site's whole job is to lower that anxiety — to feel like a calm guide, not a brochure. We built it around a single idea: a 'teal thread' of color that runs through the site the way the practice runs alongside a family through the journey. Clear, detailed service pages answer the questions people are afraid to ask, in a warm navy, teal, and soft-white palette that feels human and trustworthy. One of our most polished builds — fast, accessible, and meticulously documented — but what matters is how it leaves a nervous first-time visitor feeling: in good hands.

Vector Bookings

Our own hotel-management platform in active development — bookings, payments, and operations for independent properties, built from the ground up.

Independent hotels are stuck between clunky legacy software and per-room commissions that eat their margin. Vector Bookings is our answer: one platform to handle room bookings, payments, and the day-to-day operations of running a property. It's built so each hotel runs in its own isolated space — their data, their rules — while sharing a foundation we can improve for everyone at once. Currently in active development as part of our product suite, with real properties in mind.

The platform that runs Vector — clients, projects, invoicing, and operations in one place. We don't just build software; we run our own company on it.

Orion is the system that runs our studio. It manages clients and projects, handles invoicing, keeps our email in sync, and powers the content behind our blog — all in one place, built exactly the way we work. It also feeds the live activity you see on this very site. We built Orion because the best proof that we can run your operations on software is that we run ours on software we built ourselves. In continuous development — it grows as the studio does.
