Website Case Study

Custom Classroom by Angela

Turning years of trusted teaching resources into a website built to grow with the business.

Angie had already built a loyal following selling classroom resources to Texas teachers. She’d just had her branding refreshed and was finally ready for a website of her own, one that could hold everything she’d built and make it easy to find.

Together, we built a custom site that matches her branding and gives teachers, new and returning, an easy way to find what they need.

“I put off getting a website for a long time and after going through the process, I know that if I knew how simple it would be I would have done it a long time ago.

Where We Started

When Angela came to me, her business had grown. She’d just had custom branding created, and was finally ready for a website of her own. Her business needed a polished, professional home to support her audience and help them quickly find the resources they need.

What We Were Trying to Accomplish

Before we touched a single page, we got clear on what the website needed to do.

  • Match Angie’s refreshed branding
  • Make it easy for teachers to find what they need by grade level & topic
  • Show Angie’s expertise beyond Teachers Pay Teachers
  • Build a site that could grow alongside her business for years to come

Designed with Purpose

Good design isn’t just about making a website look nice. It’s about helping the business behind it work better. Before we design a single page, we get clear on what the site needs to accomplish. From there, every decision is made with those goals in mind.

Here’s a look at a few of the choices that shaped this website.

Helping teachers find resources faster

Busy teachers don’t have time to hunt through dozens of pages. We organized the homepage around resource categories so returning teachers could jump straight to what they needed.

Building trust with first-time visitors

Angie already had years of classroom experience and a library of helpful content. We brought her educational content and YouTube videos onto the site so new visitors could see her expertise right away.

Proving expertise beyond a product listing

A product page can’t show a teacher how much Angie actually knows. We gave her a blog where she could break down classroom topics and the news teachers need to know, so visitors could see the thinking behind her resources before ever buying one.

Building trust through Angie’s own story as a former teacher

Teachers don’t just want resources, they want to know the person behind them understands what they’re dealing with. We gave Angie a full page to share her story so visitors could see she’s lived with the exact overwhelm she’s helping them solve.

The Finished Result

Angie now has a website that reflects the quality of her work and makes it easy for teachers to find what they need. It’s a home base she can point new and returning customers to, one that matches her brand and holds up as her business grows.

I built this to grow with her, whether she continues adding more of the same types of content or starts something brand new down the road.

Angie's Thoughts

Everything was extremely easy to follow and organized. I knew nothing about websites before this and found the process to be way easier than I thought. The process is so easy and Kristen is wonderful to work with, just book the day. You won’t regret it.

No two businesses are the same, which is exactly why no two websites should be either.
