Project outline

The brief behind the build

SWELL Marine is a White Bear Lake, Minnesota marine shop covering service, upgrades, storage, and a Virtual Slip offering. The website had to make a broad catalog easy to understand, and easy for staff to maintain without a developer for every change.

Project scope

What was delivered

Custom WordPress theme with Gutenberg blocks structured around the shop’s services, upgrades, and storage options, so staff can update pages themselves. Managed hosting, backups, and support continue under a Full Support plan, extended by an ongoing SEO and content program ahead of the boating season.

Tech stack: WordPress, custom theme, Gutenberg, Hostinger managed hosting, GA4, Google Search Console.

Results

A foundation that can keep working

A clean, fast service website with priority keywords such as boat service and boat winterization queries reaching page one in Google, and an editing setup the staff actually uses.
