Web Design and Development

The website for Scholls Valley Native Nursery had been neglected for several years and showed clear signs of being dated. Being more than a decade old, we approached the redesign as an opportunity to pare back unused elements and include cutting-edge features that would have been out of reach at the time of the original website's creation. We designed and built SVNN a fully responsive modern site on Craft CMS's increasingly popular, user-friendly platform to assist them in the next era of growth for the company.

The client wanted to refresh their existing "Plant Database" — an information rich area of the site dedicated to showcasing a growing catalog of native plants. The goal of this area was to provide information to the website's visitors about species' preferred habitats, with the idea of later expanding this section to include a whole page of information about all aspects of the plants further down the line. We built them a streamlined database page that is primed for future expansion and has eliminated the chaos of information. The new design allows users to quickly and efficiently find the plant they are looking for using a variety of filtering settings such as sorting the results by either the Latin or Common name.

We enjoyed creating a library of avatars to represent the crew over at Scholls Valley Native Nursery. Instead of taking individual photos of team members, we developed a more flexible approach, allowing for easy changes by the client as team members and titles change over time. In the backend of the Craft CMS an administrator can select from a variety of male, female, and gender-neutral avatar outlines which automatically pair with the colored floral background element. This allows for maximum customization by the user while ensuring a consistent look through the use of a pattern of background colors.
