Cornerstone Customization

Shaping the platform around your needs.
We help you get more out of Cornerstone by customizing existing pages, enhancing built-in tools, and adding features that make the platform work better for your team.

Octily Content Editor (OCE)

Build and update custom pages without relying on development teams

Templates for Career Sites and Welcome Pages

Fast to launch, easy to adapt, and fully on brand

OCE Add-ons

Articles, Browser Notifications, Components, and more to increase employee engagement

Custom Projects

We customize existing pages and tools within Cornerstone to meet your goals. And when the platform's built-in options are not enough, we integrate our own add-ons to take it further

Octily Creative

Design and storytelling are just as important as functionality. With Octily Creative, we help teams stand out through visuals, content, and campaigns that feel personal, polished, and on point.

Employer brand photography that feels real
Videos that introduce, explain, or inspire
Campaigns built around your message and values
Copy that sounds like your team, not a template

Whether you’re building a new career site, launching an internal campaign, or rethinking how your platform looks and feels, we make sure your content connects.

Creative work to boost Employee Experience

Project Highlights

A snapshot of what we’ve been building
Not every project becomes a full case study, but that doesn’t mean they’re not worth showing. Here’s a quick look at some of the custom pages, layouts, and creative ideas we’ve brought to life for clients across different platforms.

Meet the Team

Come say hi to the humans behind the octopus. We’ll be there to talk projects, ideas, and everything Cornerstone.

Las Vegas & London
Robert Bucher
Founder & CEO

“Bringing clarity to complexity, and joy to customization.”

Rob is the founder of Octily and the kind of creative generalist who sees the full picture and the missing pixel. With a 23+ years background in development, graphic design, marketing, and photography, he’s the glue that holds ideas, aesthetics, and systems together – all while keeping things logical, structured, and deeply human.

At Spark, Rob is your go-to for big-picture strategy, visionary concepts, or deep dives into the nuts and bolts of Cornerstone customizations. Whether you’re mapping a global talent experience or naming your 45th custom widget, Rob brings hierarchy, storytelling, and just the right dose of humor to the table.

You can also talk to Rob about writing bass lines and lyrics for his family band, the perfect mix of New Orleans blues, jazz, and soulful dub, where all his disk space went (spoiler: it’s full of RAW files), automating anything that moves – including workflows, lights, and coffee, designing pixel-perfect interfaces that make sense, and why dad jokes are a legitimate communication strategy.
