Shopper's Corner

Shopper’s Corner is a locally owned grocery store located in Santa Cruz, California that began in 1937. They're voted "best grocery store" year after year due to their fine wines, cheeses, and butcher shop. When Andre Beauregard came to us for a redesign, we knew it was time when we saw the broken flash player on the homepage. After going through our design process with him, we ended up building their new site on Craft CMS and migrated them over to fortrabbit hosting to modernize their digital ecosystem. During the pandemic, Andre reached out to us asking if we could help streamline the shopping experience for his customers, so we built them a custom shopping list component in React to help keep his business sailing smoothly.

Studio Schicketanz is a full-service architecture, interior design, and consultancy firm based in Carmel, California sought after for their ability to weave together deeply philosophical approaches to landscape, architecture, and interior design with a focused emphasis on livability. When Victor Schicketanz approached us to redesign their site, we were very excited to work with him, as we admired all of their work. Our streamlined design process allowed us to execute seamlessly as we bounced ideas off of their team. After we deployed their new site to fortrabbit, we trained their staff to maintain the site that we built on Craft CMS so they could easily update projects, staff members, videos, publications, ect.
