The story

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.

What we delivered

  • Bilingual EN/ES
  • Custom Vela Theme
  • Drawer + Lightbox
  • Forms
  • Sitemap

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

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.

The story

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.

What we delivered

  • Web Development
  • UI/UX Design
  • SEO
  • Cloud Hosting

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

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.

The story

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.

What we delivered

  • Web Development
  • UI/UX Design
  • SEO

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

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. Underneath it's a fast, accessible, search-ready foundation with conversion paths placed where they earn their keep, so the design never gets in the way of booking a job.

The story

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.

What we delivered

  • Web Development
  • UI/UX Design
  • SEO
  • Cloud Hosting
  • Email Integration

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

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.

The story

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.

What we delivered

  • Web Development
  • UI/UX Design
  • SEO
  • Cloud Hosting

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

The whole engineering challenge here is delivering hundreds of high-resolution images without a slow page. We serve modern, right-sized formats with lightweight placeholders and dominant-color backfills, so galleries feel instant and stable as they load. It's the build we point to internally as our reference for media-heavy sites done properly.

The story

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.

What we delivered

  • Web Development
  • UI/UX Design
  • SEO
  • Cloud Hosting
  • API Development

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

Built as a modular platform so each capability — listings, agents, publishing, analytics — evolves on its own without destabilizing the rest. We integrated proven real-estate and communications services rather than rebuilding them, put the operations side behind secure single sign-on, and kept the public site fast and server-rendered. Architected to grow with the business instead of being rebuilt a year later.

The story

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.

What we delivered

  • Web Development
  • UI/UX Design
  • Cloud Hosting

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

Fully pre-rendered for instant loads and rock-solid reliability — exactly right for a small practice that shouldn't pay for or worry about heavy infrastructure. Accessible by default, built on a disciplined component structure with fluid, responsive type and spacing so it reads beautifully on any screen and stays simple to maintain.

The story

The site you're looking at right now. We built it to show our work and to convert visitors into clients — and we held it to the same standard we'd hold yours.

It's fully bilingual, scores near-perfect on Google's quality checks, and runs on our own design system so every page is consistent and quick to extend. The portfolio and blog you're browsing are driven by a real content backend, and the live activity reflects what's actually happening inside the studio. It's both our storefront and our showroom — the clearest example of how we work.

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

Server-rendered and bilingual at the routing level, built on our own component and design system so the whole site shares one consistent, fast, accessible foundation. Content — projects and blog — comes from a managed backend, so the site stays current without code changes and new work appears the moment it's published.

Vector Bookings

Ongoing

Jan 2025
Started

Want something like this? We'll scope it with you for free.

Why we built it

Independent hotels in Costa Rica were paying a slice of every stay to booking platforms and running the rest on paper and WhatsApp. We wanted one system of our own that a small property could actually run.

What it's for

Reservations, payments and day-to-day operations for independent properties: rooms and rates, direct bookings from the hotel's own site, guests, check-ins and the numbers at the end of the month.

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

Designed as a multi-tenant system where each property is fully isolated, so one hotel's data and configuration never touch another's — the right foundation for trust and for scaling to many properties on shared, maintainable infrastructure.

Started

Want something like this? We'll scope it with you for free.

Why we built it

Running Vector on a handful of tools meant the same client lived in five places. We built the one place where everything about a client, a project and an invoice sits together, and made it the model for the systems we build for others.

What it's for

Our own operation: clients, projects, quotes, invoices and collections, support tickets, the client portal and the automation that keeps them in step.

How we built it

Technical approach, stack and infrastructure

A single operational backbone that integrates the tools a studio actually runs on — communications, project tracking, billing, and content — behind one secure system, with clean data flowing out to power live dashboards on our public sites. Built to be the source of truth, not another silo.
