Studio / Services

Five core services.

Most of our work falls into one of these five categories. Every project is handled directly by the in-house team that designs it — no hand-offs, no outsourcing.

01 — Design

Brand-aligned web design.

A site that looks like your business — not like a template. We build a dedicated design system—typography, color palette, layout and component library—structured around the exact content you need to publish.

Brand architecture + sitemap development
Three visual mockups built in real HTML
Editorial typography and layout configurations
Documented design library you can keep using

02 — Development

Custom web development.

When off-the-shelf templates won't cut it. We write hand-coded PHP and JavaScript. Whether we are building a public marketing site or a private internal tool, the project is structured specifically for your company needs.

No unnecessary framework bloat
PHP & MySQL backends
Internal management tools and custom reporting
Lightweight code built for speed

// Group registrations by festival public function getFestivalBreakdown($seasonId): array { $rows = $this->db->query(" SELECT f.id, f.name, f.starts_on, COUNT(DISTINCT r.id) AS riders, SUM(a.dinner_count) AS dinners, SUM(a.party_size) AS guests FROM festivals f LEFT JOIN registrations r ON r.festival_id = f.id LEFT JOIN activities a ON a.registration_id = r.id WHERE f.season_id = ? GROUP BY f.id ORDER BY f.starts_on ", [$seasonId]); return array_map(fn($r) => [ 'festival' => $r['name'], 'riders' => (int) $r['riders'], 'dinners' => (int) $r['dinners'], 'guests' => (int) $r['guests'], ], $rows); }

03 — Commerce

E-commerce build & migration.

A real online shop, not a standard Shopify install. We build custom catalogs for products, variants, digital goods, including taxes and shipping — powered by the same engine used for Pascale's Kitchen, with Square integrated at checkout.

Custom commerce engine
Drag-and-drop product creation
Payment Merchant integration
Migrate from Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce

05 — Integrations

Integrations & APIs.

The pieces that connect a website to the rest of the business. Payment processors, email services, CRM, and custom internal APIs — engineered to handle data securely and report errors clearly.

Payments — Square, Stripe (custom links and subscriptions)
Transactional email — AWS SES, ZeptoMail, and Postfix
Analytics & Automation — Clicky, Google Analytics, and Power Automate
Custom internal APIs — built with rate limits and audit trails

Your stack

How we engage

Three ways to work together.

Project-based for one-and-done builds. Retainer for ongoing work. Iluvana hosting & care for the long haul. Most clients use a mix.

A.

Fixed-price project

You know what you want built. We scope it, price it, schedule it, and deliver it. Best for new sites, redesigns, and custom tools.

Fixed scope & timeline
50% to start, 50% on launch

B.

Monthly retainer

A reserved block of design + development hours each month. Best for sites that evolve continuously, growing product teams, and small businesses without an in-house developer.

Reserved block of hours each month
Same-day response on critical issues

C.

Hosting & care

Your site lives on Iluvana, on cloud infrastructure we monitor and patch. Plans from $9 to $200/mo depending on scale. Bundled with retainers or stand-alone.

Cloud infrastructure, optional multi-region
SSL automation and daily backups

Process

The whole arc, step by step.

01

Discover

A 30-minute call. We discuss your business operations and define your target audience so we can establish an accurate project scope.

02

Plan

We define the site architecture, outline the exact deliverables, and provide a fixed price and schedule. Everything is agreed upon before any code is written.

03

Design

We provide three visual directions built in real HTML. At least one mockup is fully interactive, allowing you to test the layout and navigation directly in your browser.

04

Build

Custom, hand-coded front-end and back-end development. We build the custom site and share a private link when it is ready for final review.

05

Launch

We go live! From there, you can manage the site independently or utilize our optional subscription for cloud hosting.
