Grab A Bin is a skip hire company based in Whangārei, New Zealand, offering bin rentals for residential and commercial waste removal. While the original site and bin hire system were already in place, the client sought a major functional upgrade after evaluating a competitor's booking experience. They approached Sfera Studio to design a more user-friendly, postcode-based rental flow—one that felt modern, clear, and simple to use while staying within Webflow’s no-code ecosystem.
Problems we solve
Inspired by BookaBin’s process, the client wanted to replicate a similar checkout experience, where users could input their postcode, view available bin sizes, understand what can and can't go into each bin, and complete a multi-step booking—all with accurate pricing tied to their delivery area. Since the client didn’t require a full availability dashboard, the challenge was to design a pre-order system that captured payment intent without needing backend infrastructure or complex API logic.
The Process
We rebuilt the booking experience using a Webflow + Foxy stack. A CMS-driven system was developed to store postcodes along with their corresponding shipping rates. These were then dynamically pulled into the booking interface using Finsweet Attributes. The checkout flow includes bin selection, hire date, postcode entry, and pricing display—all feeding into a Foxy checkout with card verification (but no immediate charge). After submission, the client manually confirms availability via Foxy’s admin panel before finalizing payment.
We also added a structured page to display all serviced locations and postcodes—providing users with clarity and helping boost SEO through localized content.
The Outcome
The result is a sleek, multi-step booking system tailored for Grab A Bin’s operations—offering customers an intuitive experience without overcomplicating backend management. The solution empowers the client to manage availability manually while still maintaining a professional and streamlined user flow.
The Impact
The new process has significantly reduced booking friction and improved customer confidence with upfront pricing and clear location service visibility. Grab A Bin now competes more directly with larger operators in the region, with a modern booking system built entirely on no-code tools.

Magic Dates
Magic Dates is a curated event platform based in Germany, helping users discover unique experiences for couples and singles. As the platform expanded, the team needed a more scalable filtering system that could adapt to different event types. Their existing setup using Finsweet v1 was limiting, so they engaged Sfera Studio to upgrade to Finsweet v2 and implement a CMS-driven custom filter that would allow for dynamic filtering per event without developer input.

Sabah International Convention Centre
Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC), one of Malaysia’s premier event venues, partnered with us to modernize their aging website. They needed a site that better represented their scale and professionalism while remaining easy for their internal team to manage. We rebuilt the entire site in Webflow, delivering a clean, modern interface along with a user-friendly CMS structure that empowers them to publish and manage events with ease. The new site also features clear overviews of their event halls and facilities, tailored to appeal to both local and international organizers.
Sales Play Book
The Sales Playbook team first came to us in 2023 for help fixing a filter issue on their existing Webflow site. What started as a quick fix turned into an ongoing collaboration. Since then, we’ve become their go-to partner for continuous improvements—building new pages, implementing design changes, and resolving functionality issues as they arise. Our role has evolved from support to a long-term development partner, helping them scale and refine their platform as their content and audience grow.
What x When
What by When is a creative studio that thrives on exploration and artistic experimentation. As their brand direction evolved, their website needed to reflect a more mature and intentional identity. With a complete Figma mockup already designed, they partnered with Sfera Studio to rebuild the site from scratch. The goal was to transform the mockup into a fully responsive, Webflow-powered website that honored their creative process while remaining easy to navigate and visually engaging.
Garden on the Wall
Garden on the Wall, a biophilic design company based in New Jersey, partnered with us to elevate their Webflow site into a more dynamic and functional platform. While much of their website was already developed, they needed our expertise to implement more advanced interactivity, enhance the site’s flow, and create a password-protected Designer Hub. This restricted area would allow designers from approved firms to gain access via a passcode system, intelligently managed using email domain validation and automation tools like Memberstack and Zapier. In addition, we improved responsiveness across all devices, added smooth scroll-based animations, and refined the overall user experience.
Koma Sliders
Koma Sliders, a Korean-American food truck and catering business based in Australia, partnered with us to restructure and expand their existing Webflow website. The goal was to enhance the site’s clarity, highlight their diverse catering services, and streamline quote collection using HubSpot CRM. We implemented a clean one-page homepage redesign, created dedicated subpages for Weddings, Birthdays, and Corporate catering, and introduced new categories like Public Events. The revamp also included dynamic components like an interactive timeline for “Our Story,” static chat icons, and embedded Instagram feeds—delivering both a better experience for users and a more efficient workflow for the business.
