Ensuring the Code Quality of Your SCSS
At Made we create web software that is built to last, so every aspect of the codebase has to be easy to understand and maintainable by any member of the team. Because of this we run our server side code through tools like Tailor and Cane to keep complexity low and consistency high.

At Made we love using Spree, it is the platform that powers all our recent eCommerce builds. Spree has a great community behind it who churn out some fantastic extensions that, when combined, can pull together a platform to fulfil almost any client requirement.
