How do you translate the feeling of five-star hospitality and in-person luxury into a digital e-commerce experience? This was the central challenge presented by Courtyard Grand, a top hotel brand seeking to bring its traditional gourmet boutique online. They appointed us to solve this, tasking our studio with designing and developing a new online store that was not only visually elegant but also infused with the hotel's signature sense of personalization and world-class service.

UI/UX design with meticulous precision for a luxury brand.

Our UI/UX design for Courtyard Grand was an exercise in digital craftsmanship. To mirror the hotel's refined aesthetic, every element was meticulously considered—from the sophisticated typography and bespoke color palette to the pixel-perfect layout. We believe true luxury lies in the details, and our focus was on creating a visually stunning interface that felt as intuitive and effortless as it was beautiful.

Future-proofing a Shopify product catalog for scale and easy management.

As a growing gourmet boutique, Courtyard Grand needed to add new products without technical hurdles or compromising their brand's elegance. We delivered a highly flexible product management system in Shopify, built around reusable templates for their products and collections. This empowers their team to effortlessly introduce new, exquisite offerings, allowing the online store to evolve and grow seamlessly.

A Proof-of-Concept (PoC) is an internal project where we develop and refine our technical solutions. We believe client projects are for flawless execution, not live experiments. This reflects our commitment to never testing unproven processes with your time or budget.

Our process begins by researching real-world business challenges. We then build a complete solution for a hypothetical scenario, allowing us to validate our technical approach with key platforms and tools in a controlled environment. By the time we recommend a solution, it has already been rigorously tested and proven to be reliable and effective.

What you see in this project is a tangible demonstration of an in-house capability we can confidently deliver for you. We showcase our PoC projects alongside client work to give you a broader, more transparent view of our full range of expertise.
