Iceman Festival

Iceman Festival

Cinematic brand site for "Africa's coldest under-18 festival" — an immersive ice-themed landing experience, live countdown, a shareable ICEMAN ID generator, and Howler-powered ticketing.

Iceman Festival is a strictly-under-18, alcohol-free winter festival landing in Ballito on 27 June 2026. We built the entire web property as a single, high-impact experience designed to sell out phased ticket releases: a frozen-resort preloader, a live countdown to doors, an interactive "before / after" drag-slider that freezes the beachfront, and a cursor-driven "ice meets fire" hero that melts the scene from ICEMAN-by-day into FIREMAN-after-dark. Below the fold, an experience grid sells the line-up, cryo production, photo moments and the under-18 safety story, and a "Mint your ICEMAN ID" tool lets fans freeze their name into a custom share card to hype the event on socials. Phase-based scarcity messaging drives urgency, with real ticket purchasing handed off to Howler. Built ice-blue-on-black with heavy motion to match the cold-club aesthetic, and tuned to stay smooth on the phones the under-18 crowd actually uses.

GTSA Paper & Labels
Business Website · Lead Gen2026Featured

GTSA Paper & Labels

GTSA Paper & Labels

Conversion-focused supplier site for a South African thermal-paper, till-roll and label business — product showcase, custom-print pitch, and instant WhatsApp / call / email quote requests.

GTSA Paper & Labels is a nationwide South African supplier of thermal paper, till rolls, self-adhesive labels and custom-printed receipt rolls. We built their web presence as a lead-generation machine: a clean, trust-building brand site that positions GTSA against bigger suppliers on pricing, quality and real-world experience, a product section covering standard roll sizes, labels and custom branded rolls, and an industries grid (retail / POS, hospitality, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, commercial) that helps every visitor self-identify. The whole site funnels toward a single action — getting a quote — with one-tap WhatsApp, call and email contact wired throughout, a dedicated quote-request flow, and an FAQ that pre-answers the questions that usually stall a sale. Built mobile-first and fast, because most of these enquiries come in from a phone on a shop floor.

Creed Supreme
E-commerce · Fighter Brand2026Featured

Creed Moyo

Creed Supreme

Official fighter-and-merch storefront for pro boxer Creed Moyo ("Big Fish") — cinematic brand site, Yoco-powered checkout, WhatsApp ordering, and a self-serve admin.

Creed Supreme is the official brand and merch store for South African professional boxer Creed Moyo, known in the ring as "Big Fish". We built the whole web property end-to-end: a cinematic, dark-first landing experience (marquee ticker, animated hero, fight gallery and a stat strip) that does the storytelling and marketing job, a premium streetwear shop with limited-run drops, per-product instant Yoco payment links, and a hybrid checkout that lets fans either pay securely on the spot or confirm the order and receive a Yoco payment link over WhatsApp. Customers can reach the team instantly via WhatsApp, email or call, leave reviews, and follow the movement on Instagram. Behind it sits an admin login where Creed's team manages products, drops, orders and content without touching code. Built neon-green-on-black to match the undefeated, championship-hunger brand identity.

4 Youth Experience

4 Youth Experience

Cinematic festival brand and ticket platform for Africa's most premium under-18 festival — multi-tier ticketing, agent referrals, and a real-time admin panel.

We built the entire web property for 4 Youth Experience: a high-impact landing page that does the marketing job (animated countdown, immersive parallax sections, lazy-loaded gallery, pre-launch line-up reveals), a three-tier ticket flow (General · VIP · VVIP Elite) with secure card processing, capacity caps and QR-code tickets, and a partner-and-agent program with a public application form plus a referral tracking system that pays street-level agents commission on every ticket they sell. Behind it sits an admin panel where the festival team manages line-ups, gallery uploads, sponsor logos, agent applications, and ticket-sales analytics in real time. Built dark-first to match the under-18 club culture: bold type, neon green accents, heavy motion.

CompanyHub
B2B SaaS · Operations2026Featured

CompanyHub

CompanyHub

Multi-tenant business operations platform — staff, payroll, invoicing, tasks and analytics in one workspace, with a separate Staff Portal for employees.

CompanyHub is a multi-tenant SaaS that lets small and mid-sized South African businesses run their entire operation from one workspace: staff records, payroll runs (PAYE / UIF / SDL calculated server-side with full audit trails), invoicing and quoting, task assignment, internal messaging, and a real-time analytics dashboard. We architected hard tenant isolation — every query is scoped by company_id at the database layer with row-level security, so a developer mistake can't leak one company's data into another's. Owners, managers and staff each get role-aware permissions, and employees access a separate Staff Portal that exposes only what's relevant to them: clock-in, payslips, leave, assigned tasks. The platform now hosts dozens of businesses on a single Supabase Postgres with sub-100 ms median response times.

GymFreaks
E-commerce · Storefront2026Featured

GymFreaks

GymFreaks

Premium gym-and-supplements e-commerce for SA's gym-creator culture — Yoco-powered checkout, age-gated peptides catalogue, and a self-serve admin for the team.

GymFreaks is a direct-to-consumer brand selling premium gym gear, peptides and sports nutrition to South Africa's gym-and-content-creator community. We shipped the storefront end-to-end: brand identity (dark / neon-green / aspirational), an age-verification gate that's legally required for adult-only product categories, the full product catalogue with variants and reviews, a Yoco-powered checkout (we picked Yoco over global processors specifically because it accepts SA peptide merchants), country-wide shipping rules, transactional emails for order confirmations and shipping updates, and an admin panel where the GymFreaks team manages products, inventory, orders, customer support tickets and refunds — all without needing a developer in the loop. The store is content-creator-first: every product page is built around photo and short-form video so creators can shoot directly off-screen.
