Building Websites That Actually Work

We started in 2018 because we kept seeing businesses struggle with websites that looked nice but didn't function properly on different devices. That frustration became our focus.

Seven Years of Figuring Things Out

We didn't have a master plan from day one. Just a commitment to solving real problems and learning from every project.

2018

Started in a Small Office

Two developers, one designer. We took on local business websites in Hsinchu and quickly realized how many companies needed better mobile experiences. Most sites back then were desktop-focused afterthoughts.

2020

The Pandemic Shift

When everything went online, businesses needed websites that could handle sudden traffic spikes and work flawlessly on phones. We rebuilt fourteen sites in four months and learned more about performance optimization than we had in the previous two years.

2022

Expanded Our Approach

Started working with manufacturing companies who needed B2B platforms that their partners could actually use in warehouses and on factory floors. This meant rethinking how forms work, how data loads, and what "responsive" really means in industrial settings.

Where We Are Now

Team of eight. Working with clients across Taiwan and a few international projects. We're focused on adaptive design systems that don't just resize but actually rethink content presentation based on context. Still learning, still improving.

How We Actually Work

Every project starts with understanding what your users need to do. Not what looks trendy or what your competitor did. We build websites around real user behavior, test them extensively, and adjust based on data.

Discovery Phase

We spend the first week just understanding your business flow. Who visits your site? What are they trying to accomplish? Where do they get stuck? This foundation prevents expensive redesigns later.

Design Systems

We create flexible component libraries that adapt intelligently. Your content doesn't just shrink on mobile—it reorganizes to prioritize what matters most on smaller screens.

Performance Testing

Before launch, we test on actual devices with real network conditions. Not just simulators. We've caught issues that never showed up in development but would have frustrated real users.

Ongoing Support

Most of our clients stick around because websites need maintenance. Browsers update, devices change, user behavior shifts. We monitor and adjust continuously.

Real Feedback Loop

After launch, we track how people actually use your site. The data often surprises clients—and us. Then we refine. Good web development is iterative, not one-and-done.

What Drives Our Decisions

We've worked on enough projects to know what separates websites that succeed from ones that get abandoned. It's rarely about the latest framework or trendy design. It's about fundamentals.

Function Over Flash

Animation is nice. Fast loading and intuitive navigation matter more. We'll choose boring and functional over impressive but slow every single time.

Real Device Testing

We maintain a collection of older smartphones and tablets because your users aren't all on the latest iPhone. If it works on a three-year-old Android with spotty 4G, it'll work anywhere.

Honest Timelines

We've learned to add buffer time because something always takes longer than expected. Better to deliver early than make excuses about delays.

Clear Communication

No jargon in client meetings. We explain technical decisions in plain language and show you exactly why we recommend specific approaches.
