Grand River Rigs needed a robust online platform to clearly present their specialized rental and outfitting services for trips on the Colorado River. I was contracted to build a brand new, highly functional WordPress website that focused on showcasing their three core offerings: motor/paddle boat rentals, custom outfitting/food packing, and shuttle services.
The Challenge & Solution
The Challenge
As a service-oriented outfitter, the challenge was to clearly communicate the complexity of their offerings (rentals vs. complete outfitting vs. shuttle only) in an easily digestible format. The site needed to efficiently guide potential customers from browsing equipment to booking a multi-day river trip.
The Solution: A Streamlined Service Hierarchy
I designed and developed a custom WordPress site with a clear content architecture, featuring dedicated pages for each service category. The focus was on high-quality adventure photography and clear calls-to-action (CTAs) to streamline the customer journey, whether they needed a simple rental or a fully catered trip package.
Key Deliverables & Impact
| Deliverable | Description |
