Ritual

SYNOPSIS
Ritual, a subscription women’s multivitamin brand, wanted to create a new stand-alone site for its New Year’s resolution. The result is a first-of-its-kind blend of retail and meaningful, mindful habit change for consumers. It’s an amazing example of delivering value first, helping potential customers be better versions of themselves. Since Ritual was founded in 2015, they’ve sold 1 million bottles of vitamins and raised over $40M in venture funding.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
“I’ve never had such an easy, bug-free public launch before. This really speaks to the quality of the code... We have tons of users already and everything is working perfectly—no alarms, no snags, nothing.”

We also launched major A-list celebrities e-commerce stores featuring customizable merch, racking over 4 millions visits within 3 days and the sale of countless one-of-one products.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
“They were very accommodating from the beginning, offering support wherever needed. The project was always well-staffed because of their team’s skill level. In their past few years of growth, they bring in quality talent and maintain professionalism. We’ve had audits and advisors review the code, and everything is top-notch.”
