The brief

Where it started.

The charitable arm of a local men's hockey league funds causes across Markham and Unionville. Its old site showed two-year-old content and a broken "$0 raised" counter. The committee needed a fast, mobile-first site they could keep up to date without a developer.

What we built

So we shipped 5 pieces.

  1. 0113+ public pagesCauses, campaigns, events, news, gallery, get-involved and donate
  2. 02Volunteer-editable contentSupabase with row-level security and cached loaders
  3. 03WordPress migrationA re-runnable import of every old post, event and photo album
  4. 04No broken links301 redirects for every legacy URL — the build fails if one is missing
  5. 05Automated QAAccessibility and SEO checks on every route at desktop and phone sizes

Under the hood

The part worth a closer look.

The clever part

Where data is missing, the site shows honest interim states — hiding goal-less progress bars instead of faking numbers — so it never repeats the old "$0 raised" problem.

Stack

And what it all runs on.

  • Next.js 16
  • React 19
  • Supabase
  • Tailwind v4
  • Playwright + axe
