I am proud of Drifting Souls as this was my first website that I designed and created for my client James back in 2019.
Drifting Souls is a business based in the New Forest who specialises in camper conversions and all designs are handcrafted in James’s own workshop. James is an an expert in one off designs for any make or size of vehicle, as well as providing a service of stripping out and converting the space. He also designs the interiors right down to the minutest of details including taps, cabinetry handles, racks and textiles!
Having recently seeing an increase in demand, James came to me and asked if I could come up with a website that was simple, gave him an online presence, and a way to showcase his work other than on Social Media.
I was really excited and keen to get going on this project, as it was my first! Luckily, already knowing James (my fiancé’s dad!) it took some of the initial pressure off, but still needed to ensure that I really hit the ground running to insure it was successful.
After sitting down with James, I got a thorough understanding of his brief, and what he wanted from his new website. It was clear that he needed it to be simple yet affective at portraying his business – something that I kept relating back to throughout this project.
Like all clients, James was kept up to speed at every stage of the project, from initial thoughts and ideas about layout, imagery, colour schemes and event the content. As soon as James was happy with my ideas and designs, I moved forward to building the site and getting Drifting Souls online!
We had our final meeting and I showed James the finished article – luckily he loved it! I used a basic layout that users could find easy to navigate, and ensured that I used a colour scheme that really made his content and images stand out. The whites and greys also complimented his logo which is always a bonus!
3 pages kept the site simple, yet having all the necessary information that was easily accessible to all. Users can find out who James is, what he does and browse through those all important past and present projects.
The camper conversion market is growing at a great rate – I wish James all the best, and cannot wait to see how the business grows going forward.
