What is the process of building a website from scratch? How do you design and develop a website? What makes a website stick out? How do you create a website with great user experience (UX) and is easy to maintain? How do user profiles shape the design of a website?
In episode 8 of Building A Brand, we take you behind through the process of building a website from scratch for the Hamilton’s.

A website is one of the most important tools for any business to have today. While Blind’s client, Hamilton Family Brewery, primarily operates out of a physical location, owners Josh and Crysten Hamilton are hoping to expand into retail for beer sales and e-commerce for merchandise sales. They’re going to need a website that can tell their story to people who might find Hamilton on a store shelf, instead of the Tasting Room, while also being able to sell t-shirts, hats, and other merchandise people who can’t visit Rancho Cucamonga might want to purchase. It needs to tell their story, let people know what they have on tap, and inform visitors of their upcoming events, all while being easy for Josh and Crysten to maintain themselves.
