Surface Armor: a full website rebuild, design through launch

Industrial / e-commDesign and development (website)

At a glance

Design, dev, content, photography

A ground-up rebuild that unified design, development, content, and imagery in a single engagement.

Services: UX and visual design, custom WordPress build, content migration, integrations, product photography

The challenge Surface Armor needed more than a reskin. The site had to look credible to industrial buyers, handle a real product catalog with filtering and search, migrate years of existing content without breaking search equity, and connect to the systems the business actually runs on.

What we did We ran the whole build end to end. Wireframes and mockups set the structure and the look, then we developed a custom WordPress theme with product filtering and on-site search. We migrated the existing content with a full redirect map to protect rankings, integrated the CRM (HubSpot) and third-party services through their APIs, and handled SEO and SSL at launch. We also shot the site's imagery ourselves: 30 to 40 edited hero, lifestyle, and product photographs. We closed with hands-on training so the team could run it.

What shipped - A custom-designed, custom-built WordPress site - Product catalog with filtering and search - Full content migration with redirect mapping (no lost search equity) - CRM and third-party API integrations - A complete on-site and studio photography set - 30 days of training and handover

Design, development, content, and photography from one team, launched as one coherent site rather than a stack of handoffs.
