The Seed Shed

The problem
The dealer had no website. There was no single place to see what seed was carried, when early orders closed, or where the shed was.
What I did
- Interviewed the owner about the business and its customers, then planned the site around the four questions customers ask most: what do you carry, when do I order, where are you, and how do I reach you.
- Designed the pages, wrote the draft copy and structured product and service data so the owner's answers drop straight in.
- Directed AI-assisted development and prepared the site for static hosting at negligible cost.
How it works
Discovery
Interviewed the owner to understand how the dealership runs, who buys from it and what they ask before they order, then studied the business's Facebook history to see how customers already found and reached it.
Structure
Home, Seed, About and Contact, with nothing the owner has to update every week.
Build
A static site with no server or database, so there is no monthly platform fee.
Built with
Astro, Tailwind CSS, and Static hosting
