Client work that carries real SEO weight

Each tile opens a full case study where we spell out why we chose stacks, UX, and SEO patterns, not only what shipped, plus desktop and mobile captures and one authoritative link to the live client. That documents first-hand build judgment for readers and crawlers.

Sizzurp Soda Lab

Salt Lake City, Utah

We kept flavor and story on a fast static layer and deep-linked Toast because hardcoded menus would have lied the moment prices and modifiers changed.

Darkframe Production

Las Vegas, Nevada

We led with bold type and still frames instead of autoplay hero reels so the pitch lands before heavy video tanks mobile LCP.

Salt Lake Proper Barber Shopify website for booking and grooming
Case study

Salt Lake Proper Barber

Salt Lake City, Utah

We stacked booking, hours, and review proof in the first screen on Shopify because walk-ins and “barber near me” traffic both decide before they scroll.

Case study

Bambu Getaway

Langkawi, Malaysia

We wrote one narrative for four guest intents because siloed microsites would have duplicated Langkawi copy and diluted the compound’s authority.

Wildish Adventure Tours

Pacific Northwest

We sold bespoke itinerary design before canned tour grids because Wildish closes on custom planning, not package SKUs.

Love and Light Bakery Sugar House donut shop website built by Vibe89
Case study

Love & Light Bakery

Salt Lake City, Utah

A 2026 Vibe89 Grant build for a Sugar House neighbor. We kept the site static so hours, map, and donut story load before scroll, while honest copy backs local walk-ins until online ordering goes live.

Salt Lake City web design portfolio with client SEO in mind

Vibe89 is a Salt Lake City digital agency that ships custom websites, platform builds on Shopify, WordPress, and Squarespace, and integrations such as Toast when operations demand it. This hub lists every public case study with the reasoning behind each stack choice, not a logo wall, so prospects can compare industries, geographies, and tradeoffs before they read services or pricing.

Each case URL is a stable internal destination we can link from the home page, demos, and partner content. Inside every case you will find machine-readable context (JSON-LD), descriptive headings, and image alt text tied to the client business. A single outbound link to the client domain keeps PageRank flow intentional while still giving Google clear entity signals between our brand and theirs.

Accessibility and performance are part of how we scope work: see ADA and WCAG expectations and contact when you want the same treatment for your company. Members of The 89 community also get directory visibility alongside these builds.

Common questions

What will I find on a case study page?
You get business context, what we built, why we made key decisions, a captioned screenshot set (desktop and mobile), and one button to the live site. It is written for humans first, with structured data for search engines.
Do you only publish work for Utah businesses?
No. We are based in Salt Lake City and work with local and remote clients. This portfolio includes Utah, Nevada, Washington, and international properties so you can see how we adapt copy and UX to each market.
Can a case page help my rankings if I am the client?
A relevant mention on an independent agency domain can add corroborating context for your brand, services, and location. It is not a replacement for your own site SEO, but it complements it when the narrative and link align with what you already publish.
How do I start a similar project?
Review platform options, then book a discovery call. We will match stack and scope to your operations, whether that is static edge delivery, Shopify, WordPress, Squarespace, or integrated tools like Toast.
