We build websites that work

Camano Island, WA

When we started working on blueheroncamano.com for Blue Heron Kitchen & Bar, the mission was to craft a digital space that matched the excitement of this new Camano Island gem while solving a practical problem: helping customers swiftly find what they’re craving and take action—whether that’s snagging a table for dinner or ordering takeout to enjoy at home. The challenge was all about speed and clarity. A restaurant like this, with its Pacific Northwest flair and mouthwatering menu, deserved a site where visitors could dive in, spot their favorite dish, and either book a reservation or place a pickup order without any fuss. We knew that if we got this right, it’d set the tone for their whole online vibe.

Our solution was to keep things clean and uncluttered, letting the food steal the show. We leaned heavily on visuals—crisp, tempting photos of their seafood-centric dishes, steaks, and pastas that practically beg you to order. The flow is dead simple: a homepage that greets you with those drool-worthy images and two clear paths—hit the “Reservations” button to lock in a spot (Wednesday-Sunday, 11am-8pm, with summer hours stretching later) or jump to the online ordering system for pickup, seamlessly tied into their in-house POS. Contact info? It’s right there, no hunting required—phone number, address, even a nod to their lounge’s happy hour (2-5pm daily). Every click feels natural, guiding you to what you want without bogging you down in extra steps or fluff.

This was Blue Heron’s first website, and the impact was immediate—it gave them a real online presence from day one. Before this, they were just whispers among locals and curious visitors; now, they’ve got a digital front door that reflects their cozy-yet-modern vibe and makes it easy for anyone to connect. It’s not just a site—it’s the foundation of how they’ll grow, welcoming new customers to experience their Northwest-inspired cuisine and handcrafted cocktails, whether they’re dining in or grabbing a meal to go. For a new business like this, that’s everything.

When we took on the project for drcleanhomecare.com, the goal was clear: transform a dated website into a modern, high-performing platform that would turn casual visitors into active leads for Dr. Clean Home Care. The challenge wasn’t just about aesthetics—though that was part of it—but about creating a site that compelled people to pick up the phone or submit a callback form. The old site was static, uninspiring, and barely generating a trickle of interest, with maybe one or two inquiries a month. We knew we had to rethink the entire user experience to make it a lead-generating machine.

Our approach was all about guiding visitors naturally toward taking action. We started by designing a clean, intuitive layout that funneled people toward those key conversion points—whether that was dialing the number prominently displayed in the header or filling out a quick callback form we strategically placed on every page. But it wasn’t enough to just slap a form on there; we had to build trust and authority to get people to act. That’s where the blog came in. We collaborated with the Dr. Clean team to craft content that spoke directly to their audience—think tips on maintaining a spotless home or the benefits of professional cleaning services. Each post was written to position them as experts, subtly nudging readers toward reaching out for help with their own cleaning needs.

To really seal the deal, we leaned hard into visual storytelling and social proof. Before-and-after photos became a cornerstone of the site, showcasing the dramatic transformations Dr. Clean Home Care could achieve—grubby carpets turned pristine, dusty corners reborn as sparkling spaces. These weren’t just pretty pictures; they were evidence of quality, the kind of tangible results that make someone think, “I need that too.” Then we peppered the site with glowing reviews from happy clients. Real words from real people, proving this wasn’t just hype—it was a service worth trusting. Every testimonial was a little nudge, reinforcing that calling or submitting that form was the next logical step.

The impact? Night and day. Where the old site limped along with a couple of leads a month, the new drcleanhomecare.com became a powerhouse. Calls and callback requests skyrocketed to over 20 a month, and that’s not a fluke—it’s sustained growth. It’s the kind of result that shows what happens when you combine smart design with strategic content and a hefty dose of credibility. For Dr. Clean Home Care, this wasn’t just a website refresh; it was a game-changer that put their phone lines and inbox to work like never before.

When we took on jfranklinfineart.com for J. Franklin Fine Art, we were handed a relic—a website so outdated it was practically gathering dust, doing a disservice to the stunning art it was meant to represent. The challenge was to sweep away the cobwebs and replace it with something dynamic, a site that could showcase their incredible collection—paintings, sculptures, and more—in a way that felt alive and inviting. We needed to make it ridiculously easy for buyers to reach out about whatever caught their eye, turning casual interest into real conversations with the team.

What we built was stunning and serves as one of our more popular showcase sites for the art community. The new jfranklinfineart.com is a visual feast, with a clean, elegant design that lets the artwork take center stage. Each piece gets its moment—high-quality images paired with just enough detail to hook you, and a simple inquiry form that’s so easy to use it practically begs you to hit send. We crafted a flow that’s all about connection, guiding visitors straight to the J. Franklin team with zero friction. It’s luxurious yet approachable, like stepping into a gallery from your couch, designed to make asking “Tell me more” the most natural thing in the world.

The shift has been seismic. Site usage has exploded—exponential doesn’t even cover it—and the requests pouring in to learn more about the art? They’ve jumped over 20 times what they were before. That’s not just a number; it’s a lifeline for sales, proof that people are engaging, asking, and buying in a way the old site could never dream of sparking. For J. Franklin Fine Art, this isn’t just a refresh—it’s a renaissance, putting their collection in front of eyes that matter and turning browsers into buyers, one inquiry at a time.

When we started working on simonsbowcompany.com for Simon’s Bow Company, we knew we were dealing with something special—a craftsman who pours his soul into every bow, arrow, and string he makes. The challenge was to build a website that didn’t just sell his work but honored it. Simon needed a digital space where he could share his handcrafted archery gear with the world, a place that would let customers buy directly while feeling the weight of his skill and dedication. For a new business like his, this wasn’t just about transactions—it was about telling a story and kicking off something real.

We went deep, designing a fully custom e-commerce site that’s as much a showcase as it is a store. Every page breathes craftsmanship—rich, earthy visuals that echo the wood and sinew of his bows, paired with clean product shots that let the quality speak for itself. It’s not flashy; it’s deliberate, with a layout that draws you into Simon’s world. You can browse his bows, arrows, and strings, see the care in every curve and knot, and add them to your cart with a couple of clicks. But it’s more than a shop—it’s a reflection of who he is. We wove in little touches, like a nod to his process or the story behind each piece, so visitors don’t just buy a bow—they buy into his craft.

The impact has been a quiet triumph. This was Simon’s first website, and it’s given him a foothold he didn’t have before—his online presence is now as solid as the bows he builds. He’s moving multiple bows a month, plus arrows and strings, and it’s not just a trickle of sales—it’s the start of a thriving business. That site isn’t just a tool; it’s the spark that’s turned his workbench into a brand. For a guy who crafts with his hands, seeing his work take off online feels like the kind of win that keeps the arrows flying.

When we tackled drinkeuphoria.coffee for Euphoria Coffee, the stakes were high. Their old e-commerce site was a relic—clunky, slow, and barely scraping by in terms of sales or usability. The challenge was to rip it out and replace it with something fresh, something that didn’t just meet their needs but nailed every detail they’d dreamed up. They wanted a slick, modern platform that could handle retail coffee orders while also stepping up to the plate for wholesaling—think easy purchasing and smooth order fulfillment for their growing roster of business clients. It wasn’t just about a facelift; it was about building a workhorse that could power their whole operation.

We dove in and built exactly what they asked for, then took it further. The new site is a clean, fast e-commerce machine, designed to their exact specs, with a shopping experience that makes picking out small-batch roasted beans or a sleek coffee subscription feel effortless. But the real game-changer was the wholesale system we layered in. We didn’t just slap on a basic B2B feature—we created a full-on custom solution. Custom pricing for different clients, exclusive wholesale-only products, and tiered levels so Euphoria could manage their partners with precision, all wrapped into one streamlined dashboard. It’s the kind of setup that lets their team handle orders without breaking a sweat, whether it’s a single bag for a caffeine fiend or a bulk shipment for a café.

The payoff was wild. Orders didn’t just creep up—they exploded, jumping over 10 times what they were pulling in before. That’s not hyperbole; it’s the difference between a trickle and a flood. Wholesale clients, who used to wrestle with phone calls or clunky workarounds, now log in, order what they need, and get back to business. The site didn’t just replace the old one—it rewrote the rules for how Euphoria operates online, turning a struggling digital presence into a powerhouse that fuels both their retail buzz and wholesale growth. For a coffee company with this much passion, that’s the kind of impact that keeps the roasters humming.

When we got the call to build teehauscompany.com for Tee Haus Company, it was a blank slate—a brand-new apparel business with big ideas and no digital footprint. The challenge was straightforward but exciting: create an e-commerce site from scratch that could launch their line of t-shirts and other gear into the world, letting customers browse, buy, and get hooked on their vibe. For a startup like this, it wasn’t just about slapping together a store—it was about giving them a platform that could grow with their vision and make that crucial first impression count.

We went all in, crafting a fully custom website that puts their apparel front and center. The design is sharp and bold, with their t-shirts—think clean lines and standout graphics—taking the spotlight against a backdrop that feels both modern and approachable. We built the shopping experience to be dead simple: pick your shirt, choose your size, and check out without any hiccups. But we didn’t stop there. To juice up their sales potential, we tossed in a subscription option—customers can now sign up to get fresh tees delivered on a regular cadence, opening a whole new revenue stream that keeps the momentum going. It’s a little twist that turns one-time buyers into loyal fans.

The result? Tee Haus Company went from invisible to unstoppable online. This was their first website, and it’s not just a placeholder—it’s the cornerstone of their brand’s identity. Right out of the gate, they’ve got a polished, professional presence that screams quality and invites people in. Whether it’s a single purchase or a subscription signup, the site’s doing its job: hooking customers and planting Tee Haus firmly on the map. For a new business, that’s the kind of launch that sets the stage for everything to come.

Partnering with Shadowpoint Media has been one of those collaborations that just clicks. They’re a talented crew over at shadowpointmedia.com, and when they decided to outsource their website creation to us, it opened up a whole new chapter for both our teams. We didn’t just build sites for them—we handed them a full-blown vertical to offer their clients, adding a shiny new revenue stream they could profit from without breaking a sweat. It’s been a win-win: they expand their services, and we get to flex our skills on some seriously cool projects.

What makes this work so well is how we’ve woven ourselves into their world. We’re not just some distant vendor; we sit in on their team meetings, chat through ideas, and operate like an extension of their crew. It keeps everyone feeling tight-knit—their team knows us, trusts us, and we’re always in the loop on what’s cooking. We even built their own site, shadowpointmedia.com, giving them a sleek digital front that mirrors their creative edge. Depending on the client, we shift gears: sometimes we’re the silent partner, crafting sites behind the scenes with no fanfare; other times, they roll us out as Wapiti, and we dive in, working directly with their clients under our name. It’s a flexible, trusting setup that’s let us crank out great work together while keeping the vibes collaborative and fun.

Our partnership with Gierd feels like one of those stories you’d tell over a beer—humble beginnings, big wins, and a whole lot of grit. For over five years, we’ve been their go-to crew for website design and e-commerce projects, growing alongside them from their early days as a scrappy startup to the powerhouse they are now. They outsource some of their trickiest, most ambitious work to us, and we’ve delivered—everything from slick multi-vendor marketplaces that hum with activity to custom sites for many of their clients. We’ve even had the privilege of building a couple of versions of their main site, gierd.com, watching it evolve as their vision sharpened.

What’s wild is how deep this collaboration runs. Back when Gierd was just finding its footing, we were there, helping shape their infancy into something solid. We’ve poured our expertise into their projects, crafting platforms that don’t just work but stand out—think bustling online marketplaces where vendors thrive and customers keep coming back. Now, with over 50 employees and a fresh $8 million Series A angel investment in their pocket, they’re soaring, and it’s been a thrill to be part of that ride. We’re not just vendors to them; we’re partners who’ve grown up together, swapping ideas, tackling challenges, and celebrating the kind of success that comes from years of trust and hustle.

When we took on selfhelpinternational.org for Self-Help International, we were stepping into a mess—an outdated, broken website that was more of a stumbling block than a storyteller for this nonprofit’s incredible mission. The challenge was to tear it down and build something new, something that didn’t just function but sang the organization’s song. They’re all about empowering communities in places like Ghana and Nicaragua through sustainable solutions—clean water, better farming, education—and they deserved a site that could carry that weight, connect with donors, and inspire action. It was a tall order, but we were ready to roll up our sleeves.

What we delivered was a fully custom nonprofit website that’s as vibrant and purposeful as the people it serves. We ditched the old clunkiness for a design that’s warm and inviting, weaving their story through every corner—photos of smiling farmers, stats on lives changed, and a clear call to get involved. It’s not just pretty; it’s practical, with easy navigation for donations, program details, and updates on their work. We worked closely with the Self-Help team, tweaking and tuning until it felt just right, and when we hit launch, their reaction said it all—they were over the moon. It’s a site that doesn’t just tell their story; it pulls you in and makes you want to be part of it.

The client’s joy is palpable—they’re absolutely delighted with how it turned out, and for good reason. Where their old site was a battleground of glitches and frustrations, this new one hands them the reins. They can tweak content, post updates, and share their latest wins without wrestling with a system that fought them at every turn. It’s a night-and-day shift, giving them the freedom to keep their story alive and evolving, and that empowerment is already lighting up their day-to-day. For Self-Help International, this isn’t just a website—it’s a tool they can wield with pride, and we’re thrilled to see them run with it.

Stanwood, WA

When we got our hands on artsfestivals.org for Stanwood Camano Arts Festivals, we were staring down a relic—an outdated, broken website that did a terrible job of showing off their vibrant festivals and the incredible artists behind them. The challenge was to rebuild it from the ground up into something that didn’t just work but dazzled—a fully custom site that could spotlight their events, feature the participating creators, and make it all easy to digest. They needed a digital stage that matched the energy of their real-world gatherings, one that could draw in visitors, artists, and vendors alike, and we were itching to make it happen.

What we came up with feels like a breath of fresh air. The new site is clean and sharp, with big, bold visuals that drop you right into the heart of their festivals—think bustling crowds, colorful booths, and artwork that pops off the screen. We carved out space to celebrate the artists, giving each one a little spotlight with their work and story, so you can feel the talent behind the scenes. But it’s not just eye candy—we made it useful. There’s a seamless sign-up process for artists and vendors, and all the visitor info (dates, locations, schedules) is laid out so clearly you can’t miss it. We even tucked in a donation button that’s hard to ignore, turning goodwill into action with a single click.

The difference is striking. Where the old site was a ghost town—unusable and ignored—this one’s buzzing. It’s become a go-to spot, pulling in traffic because it actually delivers what people need: a window into the festivals and a way to get involved. Donations are rolling in too, thanks to that prominent button catching eyes and hearts. For the organization, it’s a total turnaround—they’ve got a site that’s not just functional but alive, supporting their mission and amplifying their reach in ways the old clunker never could. It’s proof that when you get it right, people show up.

When we stepped into the project for weareriverwood.org, Riverwood Church had a website that had been a faithful servant for years but was showing its age—cracking at the seams, looking dated, and struggling to keep up with their growing needs. The challenge was multifaceted: give it a visual and functional overhaul, swap out a clunky podcasting setup for something visitor-friendly, and take their sermon content to the next level by editing videos, pulling audio for podcasts, and transcribing then summarizing them for the blog. It was a big lift, but we saw it as a chance to breathe new life into a community hub that deserved to shine.

What we delivered was more than just an update—it’s a stunning, fully dynamic website that feels like a dream come true for a nonprofit like this. The design is gorgeous and modern, pulling you in with a warmth that mirrors the church’s spirit. We tackled every piece of the puzzle: sermon videos are now polished, with audio seamlessly exported to a slick new podcast platform that’s a breeze for visitors to use. Those same sermons get transcribed and distilled into blog summaries, making the teachings accessible in whatever format suits you best. Beyond that, we wove in email marketing tools to keep the congregation connected, added a giving feature that’s smooth and secure, and introduced “connection cards”—a digital way for visitors to say “I was here,” ask for prayer, or just reach out. It’s a site that doesn’t just sit there; it works hard for the church and its people.

The impact has been a joy to watch. Site usage has shot through the roof—exponential growth that shows how much the community was craving this upgrade. The pastor, staff, and elders couldn’t be happier; they’ve got a tool that not only meets their needs but exceeds what they imagined. It’s not just about the flashy new look (though they love that too)—it’s the way it’s brought everything together, from sermons to giving to personal connections, into one vibrant, living space. For Riverwood, this is more than a website; it’s a launchpad for their mission, and seeing it click with everyone involved has made it all worthwhile.
