Web design + dev for creatives and startups

Hi! We're Owls Department and we're a web design and development studio for creatives and start-ups.

We like beautiful design, but we like its implementation even more. We try to merge technology with the art of design, without compromising either.

We’re not an ordinary software house. We appreciate great graphic design as much as well-designed code. Hundrets of implemented projects have contributed to our bond with the creative industry.

We believe that details make a difference. We’re creative programmers and designers, focused on working with branding studios, digital agencies and start-ups.

Our team would be more than happy to design and code your next project, regardless of whether it would be a designer, animated landing page, corporate website or a well-crafted web application for your next start-up.

Art, Entertainment & Music

Lost Village is a unique music festival in an abandoned village among the trees in the English county of Lincolnshire.

The special surroundings create an extraordinary, mysterious atmosphere. Only Studio created branding which reflected Lost Village’s uniqueness in the visual brand identity. We were invited to cooperate on the project as programmers. The result is the implementation of a one-of- a-kind, WordPress-based festival site.

The site was featured by SiteInspire.

Startups

Heplzy is the first social charity platform where giving is more important than taking.

In Q1 of 2017 we got approached by founders of Helpzy with a task to build MVP for their startup. In less than 4 months, we’ve developed and launched first production-grade version on the platform.

Since its launch, we are constantly supporting and expanding the platform with new functionalities, constantly increasing the system’s capabilities.

The Challenge

The first challenge platforms founders set us with, was to provide a working demo of essential functionalities within less than two months from the start.

During next few weeks, our task was to expand the platform with the remaining functionalities planned for the first MVP.

Our Approach

As a foundation for the platform we used Laravel framework. On front-end side, we used Vue.js + Vuex. Such selection of technical stack allowed us to progress quickly while keeping high efficency and reliability in mind.

Thanks to support of Amazon Web Services ecosystem solutions, we delivered highly efficent platform equipped with advanced features such as extensive search engine with Elastic Search and video processing by Elastic Transcoder.

Bringing better mobile experience with PWA

While creating the MVP, we wanted to avoid developing separated code base for fully native mobile apps, while keeping the native-like experience in mind. To achieve this, we’ve followed the Progressive Web Apps methodology.

With this approach, we were able to deliver nearly native experience on mobile while keeping budget and schedule on track.
