Custom Crating Website Design

Transforming a Static HTML Site into a Modern, Mobile-Responsive WordPress Website

Introducing My Client:

Erik Walum sought to upgrade the online presence of his family business, Custom Crating, after receiving a recommendation from a friend. As a dedicated provider of crating services in Seattle, Erik wanted a website that matched the quality and professionalism of his company.

The Task at Hand:

Erik knew that his static HTML website needed a complete overhaul to meet modern standards. Alongside this update, he decided it was the perfect time to refresh his company’s logo, aiming for a cohesive and updated brand identity.

A Team Approach:

Erik and his team collaborated closely with WebCami Site Design to revamp all website text and messaging, ensuring it was aligned with current industry standards. We incorporated large, high-quality photos that vividly showcase the wide range of crating services offered by Custom Crating. Additionally, Erik worked with a graphic designer to develop a new company logo that complemented the updated site design.

Tangible Outcomes:

The newly launched WordPress site brought Custom Crating’s online presence into the modern era with a fully mobile-responsive design. A standout feature is the enhanced estimate form, which now automatically uploads submissions to Dropbox, significantly streamlining the team's workflow. This functionality, while limited to certain file types, has been a game-changer for efficiency.

A Tip to Consider:

If your website is still using static HTML and isn’t mobile-responsive, you’re likely losing out on search engine rankings. Google favors mobile-friendly websites, so upgrading to a modern, responsive design can boost your visibility and represent your business more effectively online.

"Cami was a pleasure to work with from the first interaction. Her processes for communication and collaboration are impressive and well thought out. Lots of appropriate and helpful information is provided at critical points in the design process. She worked together with me and my team to create a beautiful website that ticks all of the boxes we required, leaving us with a product that we understand and can manage ourselves if we decide to edit or expand. Cami helped us through the process of moving our DNS service, our webhost, choosing a graphic designer and more. She has a large network of professionals that she shares with you to add huge value to her services. As a business owner, I appreciate the particular blend of professionalism and familiarity she's learned to balance. I highly recommend her for all of your web design needs."
