AirMiles
Revitalized online CX with a sleek, modern website
Collaborated with AIR MILES to reimagine and develop a user-centric website that meets the evolving needs of its members. This project updated the decade-old AIR MILES Shops website, enhancing user experience and accessibility. The redesign featured a modern, visually appealing interface and a flexible content management system for easy updates without additional engineering efforts.
Through extensive user interviews, stakeholder workshops, and A/B testing, we prioritized features aligned with user needs and business goals. The new website launched successfully in time for Black Friday, with minimal traffic dip and fewer bugs.
This successful reimagination led to further enhancements, including backend development, regular feature updates, and a Chrome extension, ensuring continuous engagement and excellent site performance. With a TribalScale retainer, AIR MILES was able to stay ahead of market competition, continuously re-engage existing users, and maintain excellent site performance as their user base grew.

Borrowell
Website redesign to draw traffic to revenue-generating products
Worked with Borrowell to redesign their consumer-facing website, promoting diverse offerings and addressing challenges like underperforming SEO, high ad costs, inconsistent user experience, gated content, outdated design, and lack of AA accessibility compliance.
The solution involved aligning the design with Borrowell’s brand ethos and ensuring AA accessibility compliance. We created a modular site for cost efficiency and easy page creation, using Contentful and GatsbyJS for dynamic generation, high customization, quick response, and excellent SEO. We conducted workshops for team self-sufficiency and provided development operations and quality assurance support, exceeding expectations.
The outcome expanded Borrowell’s reach, improved SEO ranking, educated clients on product offerings and significantly increased website performance audit scores, all within budget.
