Crushing Cones

Crushing Cones is a small, design-led web studio based in Toronto founded in 2016 by co-founders Narius Khambatta (development) and Alvin Zhui (design). With a team of ten or fewer, the studio works with brands worldwide rather than a specific local market, focusing on companies that want custom, original websites rather than template-based builds. The stated approach centers on close collaboration with each client throughout the project, aiming to reflect the individual brand identity and build sites with long-term scalability in mind. The core service is custom web design and development, with each project built uniquely for the client's brand and business objectives rather than from pre-set templates. Beyond design, the studio offers hosting infrastructure intended for speed, reliability, and scalability, positioned as the foundation supporting the website. On top of that, it develops automation and custom workflow solutions meant to reduce manual work and support ongoing business operations. Project timelines are described as ranging from three weeks to three months depending on scope. The studio also redesigns existing websites across major platforms and hands over completed sites with instructions so clients can make their own updates, retaining full ownership and control of their site and brand. All websites are built to be fully responsive across devices. Declared capabilities also include SEO, UX/UI design, and low/no-code development alongside these core offerings.
