Epic Landscape Designs — Crafting a Digital Presence That Reflects Nature
Epic Landscape Designs approached me with a clear goal: create a modern website that truly reflects the quality and craftsmanship of their landscaping projects. Their work transforms outdoor spaces into living works of art — the website needed to do the same digitally.
This project focused on translating physical craftsmanship into a refined, performance-driven digital experience.
The Challenge
As a growing landscaping agency, Epic Landscape Designs had a strong portfolio but needed a professional online presence that could scale with the business.
Showcase high-quality project imagery
Allow simple client-managed content updates
Maintain fast load times and SEO structure
Include subtle, modern animations
Create a scalable foundation for growth
The Technical Approach
I built the website using Jekyll as a static site generator, paired with Decap CMS to provide a lightweight and user-friendly content management system.
This approach allowed me to deliver exceptional performance while giving the client full control over updating projects and content.
Static-site architecture for maximum speed
SEO-friendly page generation
Structured CMS collections for projects
Clean, maintainable templating
Design & User Experience
The design direction focused on clean layouts, generous white space, and imagery-led storytelling. Landscaping is visual by nature, so the interface was intentionally minimal to let the work speak for itself.
To elevate the experience, I implemented custom animations that feel smooth and organic — enhancing the brand without distracting from the content.
Custom scroll-based animations
Subtle reveal effects
Smooth section transitions
Fully responsive design
Performance & Scalability
Because landscaping portfolios rely heavily on imagery, performance was a key priority. The site architecture ensures fast loading times across desktop and mobile while maintaining visual quality.
Image optimisation strategies
Lean static output
Semantic, accessible markup
Future-ready content structure
The Outcome
Epic Landscape Designs now has a modern, scalable digital platform that reflects the craftsmanship of their physical projects. The client can independently manage their portfolio while benefiting from a high-performance, SEO-optimised foundation.
