### [Caliber - Precision Sports Analytics](https://digitalpixelweb.com/portfolio/caliber)

*Building a precision sports analytics SaaS platform from the ground up*

**Client:** Caliber
**Industry:** SaaS / Sports Technology

A full-stack SaaS platform for precision sports analytics, built with Laravel and Vue.js. Features real-time data processing, interactive dashboards, and automated reporting for athletes and coaches.

**Challenge:** Caliber needed a purpose-built analytics platform that could ingest performance data, calculate advanced metrics in real time, and present insights through interactive dashboards that athletes and coaches could actually understand. Off-the-shelf solutions either locked the data behind proprietary walls or lacked the specialized analytics the sport required.

### [CPI Card Group](https://digitalpixelweb.com/portfolio/cpi-card-group)

*Enterprise WordPress for a publicly traded payment card manufacturer*

**Platform:** wordpress · **Tech:** WordPress, Enterprise
**Client:** CPI Card Group (NASDAQ: PMTS)
**Industry:** Enterprise / Financial Services Technology

Enterprise WordPress build for a leading payment card manufacturer. Features complex content architecture, investor relations section, and multi-stakeholder content management.

**Challenge:** CPI Card Group is a publicly traded enterprise serving financial institutions with payment card manufacturing, instant card issuance, and prepaid card services. Their website had to serve multiple distinct audiences simultaneously. Enterprise banking clients evaluating vendors, investors tracking financial performance, journalists seeking company information, and potential employees exploring careers all needed clear paths through the site.

### [EG Power Engineering](https://digitalpixelweb.com/portfolio/eg-power-engineering)


**Platform:** wordpress · **Tech:** WordPress, Custom Build

Custom WordPress build for an engineering firm, featuring project portfolios, service area pages, and a professional design that reflects their technical expertise.

**Challenge:** Charity golf tournaments live or die on logistics. Sponsors need a clear path from "interested" to "paid sponsor" without friction. Golfers need to register their teams, pick their format, and pay directly from their phone between meetings. Donors need a way to contribute without being forced to also register for the event. The organizing committee needs a back-office that's simple enough to manage during tournament week when everyone is busy.
