# Creativo@Work > A New York web and platform development studio. We build custom web applications, headless commerce, and learning platforms for small to mid-sized companies — and modernize legacy systems that outgrew their stack. Creativo@Work LLC is a small studio based at 195 Plymouth Street, Suite 5/5, Brooklyn, NY 11201, founded in 2020. We deliberately stay small: the people who scope a project are the people who build it, with no account-manager layer between the brief and the code. Most engagements start with something that already exists — a platform that outgrew its stack, a site nobody can edit without a developer, an internal tool held together by spreadsheets. ## Services - **Custom application engineering** — auth, dashboards, APIs, and data models. Software with a real architecture, not a CMS bent into the shape of one. - **Legacy platform modernization** — aging codebases moved onto current stacks incrementally, in production, without a year-long rewrite. - **Headless and composable front-ends** — React and TypeScript against a decoupled CMS, so the editing experience and the front end stop constraining each other. - **eCommerce engineering** — storefronts that load fast, convert well, and scale with the catalog. - **Learning platforms** — LMS builds with cohort, certification, and reporting features. - **AI feature integration** — retrieval over your own content, assisted workflows, and the evaluation work to know whether it helps. - **Cloud infrastructure and delivery** — pipelines, environments, monitoring. - **Product and interface design** — interface design grounded in your audience and goals. - **Performance, SEO and analytics** — Core Web Vitals, technical SEO, and instrumentation. ## Technology TypeScript, React, headless and composable architecture, eCommerce platforms, cloud infrastructure and CI/CD, AI and LLM feature integration. ## Selected work - **MyOnlineCopyright** — LegalTech / IP.

We are a New York studio and work with clients anywhere in the world — engagements have spanned North America, Europe, and Latin America. Remote is the default we build around: written updates, recorded walkthroughs, and shared staging environments you can open at any hour. - **What does a project cost?** Quoted as a fixed price per project after a scoping conversation. Complexity drives the number — user roles, payments, data migration, integrations, and whether a live platform must keep running during modernization. - **How long does a project take?** Set during scoping and planned in increments that ship, so working software appears early rather than in a single reveal at the end. - **Can you modernize a legacy platform without a full rewrite?** Yes — incremental modernization in production is the core of the practice. A modern front end goes in front of the existing system, one bounded piece migrates at a time, and old and new run side by side until the new path is proven. - **What is a headless or composable front end?** The system your team writes content in is separated from the system visitors see. The front end is a real application — React and TypeScript — pulling content over an API. Right when the editorial and front-end experiences constrain each other; wrong when a single conventional site would do the job. - **Can an online store handle a large catalog?** Yes — it is an engineering question, not a limit. Stores slow down from unaudited extensions, unindexed queries, uncached product pages, and oversized images. Every one of those has a fix. - **Custom LMS or off-the-shelf?** Off-the-shelf wins for self-paced courses sold to individuals. Custom wins for cohort programs, accreditation audit trails, B2B seat licensing, specific reporting shapes, or CRM and student-records integration. - **What does AI feature integration mean?** Retrieval grounded in your own content, assisted workflows with a human reviewing, and the evaluation work that proves whether either actually helps. - **Do you support what you build after launch?** Yes — updates, monitoring, Core Web Vitals, analytics, and ongoing improvement. Clients own their code and infrastructure, and the work is documented for handover. ## Contact - Email: hello@creativoatwork.com - Website: https://creativoatwork.com - FAQ: https://creativoatwork.com/faq - Hours: Monday–Friday, 09:00–18:00 ET, async-friendly across time zones ## Full content The complete site content, including full FAQ answers, is available as markdown at https://creativoatwork.com/llms-full.txt
