Building From Zero
Most of our work involves improving existing sites. This project was different. There was no site to fix — just a business that needed a digital presence for the first time.
A pet cemetery is a business built entirely on trust and sensitivity. The website had to honor that from the first pixel.
The Questions We Asked
When there's no existing site, we start with questions instead of audits. Who are the visitors? What emotional state are they in? What do they need to feel before they'll pick up the phone?
- • Pet owners visiting this site are often grieving or anticipating grief
- • They need to feel that this place understands the bond they had with their pet
- • Pricing and services need to be transparent — no one wants to negotiate while grieving
- • The site needs to feel warm and respectful, never clinical or transactional
Content Strategy
We structured the content around the visitor's emotional journey: from learning about services, to seeing that real families trust this place, to understanding exactly what to expect.
- Memorial pages for individual pets — honoring each life with dignity
- Clear service descriptions — cremation, burial, and memorial options explained simply
- 24/7 emergency contact prominent — because loss doesn't follow a schedule
- Soft, natural color palette — greens and earth tones that feel peaceful, not somber
Design Decisions
Every design choice was intentional. Rounded corners feel warmer than sharp ones. Nature imagery grounds the experience. The typography is clear and unhurried — no ALL CAPS, no urgency. The call-to-action says "Contact Us Today" not "Buy Now." The testimonial section uses real family quotes to build the trust that only shared experience can create.
