Case Study: Custom Squarespace Website for an Agricultural Photography Brand

  • Client: Branded Ag — agricultural marketing studio & show-ring photography team

  • Project: Custom Squarespace website (strategy, IA, design system, galleries, shop/blog, SEO)

  • Industry: Agriculture Marketing / Event Photography / Content Studio

The Challenge

Branded Ag had outgrown a DIY site. Services (brand strategy, content & social, show photography) lived in silos, event galleries were hard to browse, and the path to Get a Quote or View Galleries wasn’t obvious, especially on mobile. The brand story (farmer-founded, degree-backed expertise) and social proof from major shows weren’t surfaced where it mattered. They needed a custom Squarespace website that looked premium, loaded fast, and made it simple for show organizers and ag brands to start a project.

The Goal

  • Clarify offers: Work With Us (strategy, content, photography), Event Coverage, The Shop, Blog/Story.

  • Showcase prior shows with scannable, photo-first galleries.

  • Make conversions effortless: Get a Quote for Your Event and View Galleries CTAs everywhere.

  • Tell the founder story and highlight credentials/partners to build trust.

  • Launch a mobile-first, SEO-ready site the team can update in minutes.

Our Approach

  • Information Architecture: A single, narrative flow—Our Story → Work With Us → Galleries → Shop → Contact—so prospects understand value in one scroll.

  • Conversion Design: Persistent header CTAs, section-end prompts (“Get a Quote” / “View Prior Events”), and quick-scan service cards with outcomes.

  • Gallery System: Reusable collection pages for each show (hero, highlights, sponsor notes, lightbox grid) with fast WebP imagery and lazy loading.

  • Brand System: Warm, western-inspired palette, editorial typography, and generous image spacing to keep the photography front and center.

  • Proof & Credibility: Founder bio, education badges, show logos, testimonials, and “why professional show coverage matters” explainer blocks.

  • Performance & Photography website SEO: Semantic headings, internal links between services and galleries, optimized titles/meta, and structured data for Articles & Breadcrumbs.

Results

  • A custom Squarespace creator/photography website that tells the Branded Ag story in seconds.

  • Shorter paths to action increased qualified quote requests from show organizers and ag brands.

  • Centralized, fast galleries keep visitors browsing longer and reduce support questions.

  • Mobile-first performance and SEO foundations support discovery for event photography and ag marketing searches.
