Oak Cattle Farms | NC Pasture-Raised Angus Beef Website | Gold W3 Award

Award Level: Gold

Red Shark Digital worked closely with Oak Cattle Farms this year from the initial conception of the business to fruition. We had the pleasure of creating their logo/branding, building their brand new e-commerce Webflow website, and photography of their livestock.

The website features beautiful photos of their cows in the pasture, custom graphics for various cut options, an FAQ section to answer customers’ most pressing questions, and a contact form where customers can conveniently get in touch.

We also created a Cut Sheet for customers who submit a deposit on whole cow cuts. Using Airtable management for data tracking, users can find the custom form on the checkout page. We used Airtable to manage the content within the form as well as manage entries. Once a customer orders their whole cow cut, they receive a prompt to fill out the Cut Sheet form.

We thoroughly enjoyed creating this Webflow e-commerce website and are so proud of the hard work our Webflow agency development team put into this project.

Playground Warehouse | Residential Playsets Website Redesign | Silver W3 Award

Award Level: Silver

We worked with Playground Warehouse on a Webflow website redesign for their dual-location playset business in San Diego and Calabasas, California.

The new site features a large video hero section that displays logos for each brand offered at Playground Warehouse. Custom icons demonstrate product categories, including wooden playsets, playset accessories, Springfree trampolines, basketball hoops and trainers, safety undersurfacing, and Backyard Adventures.

Users can browse through product offerings by category. The product detail pages offer rich information, including product descriptions, features included with each product, specifications, warranty, and a gallery of photos.

We also utilized a URL capture on the product detail pages to allow customers to contact Playground Warehouse for product availability information. When clicking the “Check Availability” button, customers are prompted with a popup form. With a hidden URL input field and some JavaScript, we can capture the URL of the specific product the customer is viewing, allowing Playground Warehouse to check the availability of that particular product.

This project was a joy to work on, and we are extremely pleased with how it turned out!

Sesame Technologies, Inc. | Aviation Ground Support Solutions Shopify Website | Silver W3 Award

Award Level: Silver

Red Shark Digital first met with Sesame Technologies, Inc. in early 2022 to discuss their website redesign. The original site was built on WordPress and ultimately did not encompass the uniqueness and top quality of the company’s aviation ground support products. The client was interested in moving their website to Shopify and overhauling the website design.

We designed a brand new site with a large video hero section that includes our very own videography. The product category section features a unique hover animation that displays an image of a different airplane based on the category. A vector of the Sesame Technologies, Inc. logo notes styling consistency as a design element within the background of pages. Our in-house product photography is used throughout the sight as well, demonstrating light painting techniques to truly pack a punch.

We are proud of this Shopify development project and excited to continue our relationship with Sesame Technologies, Inc.!
