CrateOnScene
Idea to live platform in 5 weeks.
The result
CrateOnScene launched as a fully working platform serving four kinds of user at once.
Because it’s a PWA, there’s no app store in the way, and the event-first design keeps people browsing from their first visit.

The challenge
CrateOnScene needed to go from idea to live product, fast. The vision: one hub where drivers, spectators, businesses and organisers find each other around car shows, meets and racing events across the US. It had to feel polished enough to attract real users from day one, not like a rough prototype.
What we built
We scoped the MVP tightly: event discovery, driver profiles, business listings and organiser tools, built as a progressive web app that people add to their home screen without an app store. The UI follows car culture (dark, bold, high-contrast), with an information architecture that makes browsing by event type, date and location feel obvious. We shipped in 5 weeks.
