The journey
How we got here
Five years of learning, building, and iterating — until the studio became what it is today.
2019–2020
First client, first lesson
Freelancing on Upwork and local referrals while working full-time at Xgrid. Our first major client build taught us what many developers miss — performance and clarity matter as much as visual polish.
2021
Going full-stack with React
Expanded beyond WordPress into React and Next.js as client needs grew. Built our first headless web application. Learned to think in systems, not pages.
2022
Brickify — our first internal tool
Built Brickify to auto-convert HTML to Bricks Builder JSON. What started as a personal time-saver became a tool that cut project production time by 60%. It proved what we always believed: good tooling multiplies good developers.
2023
The studio takes shape
Formalized the team, added a dedicated QA and strategy layer, and rebranded from solo freelancer to studio. Shipped 20+ projects in 12 months across Australia, the US, and the UAE.
2024–Now
WebXelo — officially launched
Focused the agency on high-performance websites and conversion-focused digital experiences. Launched our studio brand, onboarded long-term retainer clients, and opened a dedicated intake for new brands ready to grow.
