Verdant came to us with a portfolio full of beautiful gardens and a website that did none of them justice. We rebuilt their digital presence around full-bleed photography — letting the work breathe and the enquiries follow.
The Challenge
Beautiful gardens, invisible online
Verdant's projects were stunning in person, but the old site buried the photography behind cramped grids and slow loads. Enquiries came from word of mouth, never the web.
The Approach
We stripped the site back to what mattered most — the gardens themselves.
- Rebuilt every project page around full-bleed, art-directed photography
- Introduced a calm, editorial type system that lets the work lead
- Moved content into Sanity so the studio can publish new gardens themselves
- Optimised imagery for fast loads without softening the detail
In short
Full-bleed photography, and the confidence to let it fill the screen.
The Results
The new site turned a passive gallery into the studio's best salesperson.
- Enquiries up 60% in the first quarter
- Average session length doubled
- Page weight cut by 45%
