The Brief
Local independent Dunedin builder Black Thistle Construction came to Firebrand, envisioning a clean, crisp website with high-quality image and video capability. Hamish, the owner of Black Thistle and a passionate builder, says he wants to differentiate Black Thistle in the market and entice visitors to inquire about a quote. For Hamish, Black Thistle Construction is about bringing the dream of living in beautiful homes within reach for homeowners – whether it's a renovation or a new build, it's important to keep projects on track and within budget.
The Process
Firebrands' solution for Black Thistle Construction was a crisp, clean design using large full-screen images and elegant, modern animation sliders and text overlays to showcase the company's core values. The overall effect is a spacious and contemporary solution which is akin to the unique and elegant house design Black Thistle is renowned for. It was also important for Black Thistle to showcase the positive and encouraging testimonials from their happy customers, so a special feature was designed to display these at the bottom of each page.
The Outcome
The new website takes you inside a unique home, built by Black Thistle Construction and gives you the experience of being right there. We are so happy to have worked with Hamish and the team to bring Black Thistle into the limelight of building innovation and quality workmanship in the local Dunedin industry.
