Hello,Athena.Let'sgettowork.
Hello,Athena.Let'sgettowork.
We're Platyr, a Philadelphia-based software company. We build platforms that work—sites that look good, perform fast, and don't fall apart when you need to update them. Jump to the proposal to see how we'd approach your new homepage: flexible, functional, and built for the long run.
A partner that knows what's possible
You've got a strong creative team and a clear vision, you just need the right build to back it up. What looks simple in Figma can turn into layers of complexity once it's live. You need a partner who can protect the design intent while building something fast, stable, and easy to manage long after launch.
Where we
come in
We bridge design, development, and usability so everything works the way it should. We've led projects from small campaigns to enterprise platforms, and we know where builds break down. Our job is to make the handoff effortless.
What we bring
to the table
We've built consumer platforms, enterprise tools, and a lot in between. The kind of people who tinker with side projects on weekends and actually read release notes. That obsession means we're always looking for the better way to solve something.

How it usually goes
Smart handoffs keep the work connected and quality high. One phase naturally leads to the next, with clear transitions that maintain momentum throughout.
Weekly release notes
Every week, a plain-English update on what shipped, what's in progress, and what's next. No chasing us for status, just consistent communication.
Ambitious ideas, actually built
Complex animations, custom effects, scroll-driven interactions. We don't shy away from ambitious ideas, we figure out how to build them.
Leave feedback anywhere
Comment directly on the site during development. No screenshots, no markup tools, just point and click where something needs work.
See it live before launch
Every change gets its own preview link. Share with stakeholders, compare versions, test on real devices, approve before it goes live.
Technical partners, not just vendors
Stuck on a problem? Need advice on an approach? We're here for questions beyond the project scope. Think of us as your extended technical team.
What comes standard
Every site we build is accessible, secure by default, and built to handle traffic spikes without breaking. Fast load times, clean maintainable code, proper monitoring, and tested across devices. These aren't extras, they're baseline.
Fast by default
Optimized assets, lazy loading, and CDN delivery. We treat performance as a feature, not an afterthought.
Secure from day one
Your site and your users' data stay protected. We handle the security stuff so you don't have to think about it.
Built for accessibility
WCAG compliant, keyboard navigation, screen reader support, and proper semantic HTML. Everyone gets to use your site.
Handles traffic spikes
Auto-scaling infrastructure deployed across the world means your site stays up when traffic surges. Go ahead, go viral.
Search engine friendly
Proper page structure, meta tags, and fast load times. We build sites that search engines can actually read and index.
Monitored 24/7
Uptime tracking, error logging, and performance metrics. We know if something breaks before you do.
Tested across devices
Desktop, mobile, tablet, and everything in between. Real device testing, not just resizing a browser window.
Analytics ready
Bring your own tracking tools or we can suggest what works. Set up to capture the data you actually need.
Ongoing support included
Post-launch support isn't an upsell. We stick around to fix issues and answer questions after you go live.
Proposal for Athena Global Advisors
This proposal outlines a path forward that prioritizes your creative vision while eliminating the maintenance overhead of traditional platforms. We recommend a modern approach that gives your creative team the flexibility to execute sophisticated designs while maintaining an intuitive editing experience for daily content updates.
We've evaluated your current WordPress setup against modern alternatives and recommend migrating to a platform that separates content management from design. This gives you better performance, tighter security, and complete creative freedom while keeping the editing experience simple for your team.
Working from your creative team's designs, we'll build a fully custom site with advanced animation capabilities—parallax scrolling, kinetic typography, and seamless transitions. The site will be optimized for performance and accessibility from day one, with the flexibility to adapt as your needs evolve.
Beyond launch, we provide documentation, training for your content team, and ongoing support to ensure smooth operations. The infrastructure handles growth automatically, and we offer flexible options for monitoring, analytics, and future enhancements as your priorities shift.
