Ironclad - A World Class Content Platform
Our partner, Krekura Design, tapped us to help create a custom portfolio website with an integrated Shopify store for branded merch for one of their clients.
We collaborated with them to provide Ironclad, a world-class media production company, a unique content management system to showcase their original content series and to give them the tools to scale.
The Problem
The need for a new online presence
The challenge was to deliver a unique platform that allowed them to self-manage their content for the web and create an integrated Shopify store for their branded merch, focusing on UI/UX and brand-consistent design. The final product showcases their original content, including their latest projects, original series and podcasts.

The Client
Creating and inspiring world-class content through methods that defy convention
Ironclad, located in Virginia Beach, USA, is a media production company whose work is compelling and limitlessly creative. Their goal has been to take the road less traveled, challenge the conventional creative and production model and be the industry leaders others look to for inspiration.
Over the years, they've put together a talented team that shares and exemplifies passion and purpose. This project was a challenging yet fun experience to help build this custom-built platform for sharing their creative work with the world.
The solution
Planning a seamless user journey
The client's vision was straightforward, and we did our best to improve what they had already brought to the table in terms of features and design. We worked alongside Krekura Design on delivering a theme that aligns with Ironclad's vision for their new online presence.
Since the customer needed the website to be interactive, we suggested a variant that could provide a reliable starting point to integrate all the required features, a custom application flow, and, above all, a user-friendly, interactive design.
Approach
Building the ultimate content sharing experience
As soon as we defined the objectives with our partner, we chose a team with enough experience to deliver the scope of work.
The back-end team focused on building the automated podcast and video feature, the application flow, and the customized admin panel. In parallel, the web-design team created API connections to bring in content from either YouTube, Vimeo, or Spotify and to style the look to be seamless and on-brand.
Once all the functionality was in place, we went through several quality assurance reviews with everyone until the client was completely satisfied. Having their brand identity in mind, we delivered a solid platform with a slick and modern feel to the user experience.

Dev Notes
Working on Ironclad with Jacob was a great experience, the communication between the teams was fluid and clear, I'm grateful that we had the opportunity to work on this project.
Ironclad is a project that challenged and helped develop my frontend skills. Making this application responsive and smooth was an interesting and refreshing experience as a developer.
I loved working on Ironclad, as they gave me the liberty to bring in my own ideas to the fold, even though they have very high standards creatively. I am glad they are happy too!
Technologies
We considered the platform and compared third party integration to power the automated podcast and video streaming app together and used the following technologies: Wordpress, Advanced Custom Fields, Custom post types, HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, PHP, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe XD, Shopify.
