Looking Toward the Future of Grocery
For decades, Western Market has been the heart of the community. But as they looked toward the future of grocery, their aging WordPress site had become more of a hurdle than a hub, limiting their ability to manage the modern eCommerce experience. We reimagined their presence from the cart up.
Talk to any Ferndale local and they'll tell you that Western Market is a daily ritual. Known for its high quality, curated in-store experience, it's a place you feel good shopping at.
When they came to us, their digital presence didn't mirror the experience of walking through their doors. The new site needed to showcase their various departments and spotlight the local makers that give Western's shelves a soul. All while providing a robust platform to support their growing eCommerce and local pickup goals.
If It Doesn't Look Fresh, It Doesn't Sell
In the grocery world, if it doesn't look fresh, it doesn't sell. We produced a brand photoshoot to replace generic imagery with real food from the store's aisles. This allowed us to tell an honest story that highlights their strong community roots, plus positions them as an elevated and conscious alternative to big-box competitors.
Our content strategy also prioritized dedicated areas to highlight local products and partners. We carved out real estate specifically for local artisans so the site felt like a community hub, on and offline.
By integrating a flexible eCommerce backend, we gave their team the ability to manage products and content instantly, ensuring their digital shelves are always as stocked and inviting as their physical ones.
Small-Town Heart, Big Digital Scale
An online identity that matches the quality of their inventory, the expertise of the staff, and the loyalty of their local partners.
We delivered a local feel with elite enterprise performance. Western Market now has a super fast growth engine that proves you don't have to sacrifice small-town heart for big digital scale.
