The Seed Shed
A first website for an independent seed dealer — built so farmers can find products, order deadlines and a way to call.

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
- Planned the site around the four questions customers actually ask: what do you carry, when do I order, where are you, 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 it for static hosting at near-zero cost.
How it works
Discovery
Worked from the owner's voice memo and Facebook history.
Structure
Home, Seed, About and Contact — nothing a small dealer has to maintain weekly.
Build
Static site: no server, no database, no monthly platform fee.
Built with
Astro, Tailwind CSS, and Static hosting
