Rootless

A direct-to-consumer seaweed snack brand. Shopify 2.0, working together since 2025.

The problem

The store had outgrown its theme. One product page was doing four jobs: one-time purchases, subscriptions, limited editions, and holiday bundles, each with its own template and its own bugs.

What we did

We built the new theme beside the live store, tested every purchase path, and switched over on one morning in April 2026. Then we stayed on as their development team.

What changed

  • 200+requests completed on their shared board
  • 4 → 1purchase templates merged into one
  • Zerodowntime at launch

“We've already learned so much from them about how to optimize our website.”

Spectrum Medical Care

A primary and specialty care clinic in Phoenix. Two-week cycles since late 2025.

The problem

The clinical side moves fast: new service lines, timely announcements, pages clinicians sign off on. They needed a team that was already there when something came up.

What we did

We refreshed the site, rebuilt navigation around how patients search, and built a block library for new service pages. A fifth of every cycle stays open for the urgent.

What changed

  • 40requests in a typical two-week cycle, give or take
  • 20%of each cycle held for urgent requests
  • <1 dayto publish a press page when the paper ran a story

The problem

Enrollment, attendance, and family records lived in four tools that didn't talk to each other. Every funder report meant a weekend of copying and pasting.

What we did

We evaluated 52 vendors the same way, recommended and configured DreamClass, and connected it to Salesforce with a Make.com flow the staff can maintain.

What changed

  • 4systems replaced
  • 52vendors evaluated side-by-side
  • Nocustom build needed

“You set us up well for success.”
