Case Study
South Whidbey Builders Collective
A small, high-craft builder in Langley needed a website as good as the houses. I shot the photos and built the site together, so they read as one thing.
The Brief
Casey Whitmer’s work spread by word of mouth, but nothing online showed it. The site had to do two jobs: show the craftsmanship honestly, and give the right clients the confidence to reach out.
01
Photography
Shoot days across four finished projects — exteriors, interiors, and the small details that show how a house was built. These photos carry the whole site.
02
Design
Wireframed first, then built around the photos: a full-bleed home page, an editorial photo grid, and a calm, minimal layout that stays out of the way.
03
Build
A custom, hand-coded site with no template and no monthly platform fee. A filterable project gallery with a swipeable lightbox, a spam-protected contact form, and a fast, phone-first layout.
04
Room to Grow
Project pages and a team section are already built and switch on as the portfolio grows — no rebuild needed.
The work
The Result
A website and photo library that match the quality of the work. Casey owns his site, domain, and hosting outright, and clients now reach out because of how the site looks.
