Client Overview
CarveDEPOT.com is a digital marketplace built for makers, designers, and hobbyists to buy and sell CNC-ready project files. Elevantics was brought in to develop the concept from the ground up — from initial branding and user flow design to multivendor marketplace website development, launch and a full digital marketing strategy.
Brand Identity & Logo Design
We began by working closely with the CarveDEPOT team to define their brand voice and user goals. Our team created a custom visual identity that balances modern appeal with a craftsman’s aesthetic. We use a 3 dimensional cube in perspective with the letters C and D worked into the sides to appear as a constructed box.
Website Design & Development
Wireframes to Web Design
Low-fidelity wireframes allowed us to quickly test layout and functionality across key user flows: product browsing, vendor onboarding, and file downloads. Once refined, we translated those into a clean, responsive UI with custom illustrations, iconography, and typography to support the brand.
Multivendor Marketplace Development
The core of CarveDEPOT is a robust multivendor engine that allows creators to manage their storefronts, upload files, and receive payments — all within a secure, scalable framework. We customized the marketplace functionality to support:
- License key generation and management
- Digital product delivery
- Seller dashboards with sales analytics
- Admin tools for product moderation and support
QA & Launch Support
Before launch, our team handled extensive user testing across devices, payment gateways, and digital download workflows. We supported the CarveDEPOT team through deployment and continue to provide ongoing optimization and enhancements.
Technologies Used
- WordPress + WooCommerce + Dokan Pro
- Custom PHP, CSS, and JavaScript
- Stripe + PayPal integration
- Cloud-based license management
- Responsive design using Figma and Adobe Creative Suite

Email Marketing Automation & Newsletters
