We Create Things Worth Talking About

Work Pieces

We've curated a selection of websites, themes, and plugins we've built over the years. From enterprise websites to landing pages to bespoke custom code solutions, we'll take on any size project.

rmff.org

A data-rich foundation site that is easy to explore and simple for the team to keep up to date.

The Challenge

RMFF already had a website, but visitors needed to work through a huge volume of information. We had to organize that data so people could browse it easily, without overwhelming them, and build the site so staff could maintain it from the back end without a fight.

The Result

The new site offers a much better UI and UX for exploring RMFF’s content. Navigation is clearer, the experience is more enjoyable, and ongoing updates stay manageable as the site grows.

indianacap.org

Clear paths for career seekers at every stage, from first visit to next step.

The Challenge

Visitors come to the site at different points in their career search. They need to understand how the program works and where to go next. The site had to support those different journeys instead of sending everyone through the same confusing set of pages.

The Result

The new site explains how Indiana CAP works in plain terms. It includes helpful landing pages and microsites tailored to different audiences, all run from one back end. Whether someone is browsing or ready to enroll, the next step is easy to find.

The Spewnicorn

A deck building roguelike card game inspired by Slay the Spire

How It Was Made

Coded entirely in vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS (with a minor cameo from jQuery), this browser game even made its way to Steam via Electron.js.

Why It Was Made

As a two-year passion project, it was the ultimate playground for exploring the intricacies of JavaScript and the art of game balance—because what's a game without a little risk (and a lot of rewards)?

Features

Procedurally generated levels, a seed system for replayability, retro 8-bit pixel art, a full suite of music and sound effects, five difficulty settings, three starter deck archetypes, and hundreds of unique cards and items.

The Hardest Part

Perfecting the turn effects—taming a chaotic mix of buffs, debuffs, and multi-turn interactions required more brainpower than expected.

Future Updates

Look out for game-saving capabilities, a scoring mechanic for comparing runs, and even Steam achievements. Ready to dive into this wild ride?

Highlighter Pro Plugin

Highlighting:

Commenting:

Top Highlighted Sections:

A WordPress plugin for highlighting and annotating text within articles, inspired by Medium.com.

The Challenge

Leverage the Rangy.js library to allow users to create persistent inline highlights and comments, which are private to the individual user, or publicly visible.

The Result

After months of development, we published a uniquely interactive plugin on CodeCanyon. We're proud of how it boosts user engagement through a meta layer of interactivity.

The Hardest Part

Building a layer “above” the page content so users could highlight text in a meta fashion.

Figuring out how to store the data inside of the WordPress post. If we stored the highlighted text inside of the post content, then technically that means users are actually modifying your post content by using the plugin. That is a scary concept, and presented a lot of security issues we had to think through.

Where Is It Now?

No longer available on CodeCanyon, but we released it for free on GitHub for anyone who wants to experiment.

More Of Our Themes

Here are the marketing images for some of our other high-performing ThemeForest themes—a snapshot of our design evolution over the years. Consider it a time capsule!

Implicit: July 2014, 530 sales

Flavor: May 2013, 1775 sales

Explicit: Feb 2014, 2228 sales

SwagMag: Feb 2012, 2926 sales

Fun Fact: Our very first theme, Caulk, debuted back in December 2009.

*The theme resale market moves fast, and even well-maintained themes can have a short shelf life. A design that looked fresh in 2010 might not resonate in 2025. That doesn't mean the theme is broken or subpar—just that web design trends evolve at lightning speed. We're still immensely proud of each piece, and our sales figures speak for themselves.

**Indianapolis Monthly has since been redesigned. You will need to use the Wayback Machine to see the site as it existed when I built it, around 2018 - 2019.
