SierraLoaded is a modern news and media platform built with a headless architecture. I built the website, creating a fast, responsive, and user-friendly interface. To enable dynamic content management without a custom backend, I integrated the application with the WordPress Headless API, allowing editors to seamlessly create, update, and publish content through WordPress while the frontend automatically reflects those changes.

first look at ascnd - our own design & front-end subscription for startups.
preloader and hero, hand-designed and hand-coded. no template, no page builder. the brief we gave ourselves: make a startup look like it already raised, starting from the very first half-second of load.

Why Most Shopify Stores Don't Need a Custom Theme (And When They Do)
A common misconception in Shopify development is:
"Every Shopify store needs a custom theme."
That’s not always true.
For many businesses, Shopify’s free themes like Dawn already offer:
Responsive design
Fast performance
Clean code
Easy customization
If your goal is to launch quickly, a well-optimized theme is often the smartest choice.
So, when does a custom theme make sense?
✅ Your store needs a unique user experience.
✅ You need advanced functionality or custom logic.
✅ Your design goes beyond standard theme options.
A custom theme gives you more control, but it also takes more time and maintenance.
The best solution is the one that fits your business goals, budget, and growth.
💬 Would you start with a pre-built theme or invest in a custom theme from day one?
