Spoon Real Estate & Construction

WordPress Design, Custom Service Silos, and Visual Portfolio Architecture.

I designed a comprehensive digital home for Spoon Real Estate & Construction using WordPress and the Enfold theme. The project focused on bringing two distinct business arms—real estate and custom construction—into one cohesive brand experience. I prioritized a clean, professional aesthetic that highlights their 30 years of expertise while ensuring the site remains fast and intuitive for users navigating everything from floor plans to active listings.

To showcase their quality craftsmanship, I built a series of high-resolution galleries that organize their work by room and feature, from custom kitchens to exterior finishes. By focusing on a “Visual-First” layout, I ensured that potential homeowners can easily see the level of detail Spoon brings to every project, whether they are looking to buy an existing home or design a custom build from scratch.

“For a brand that does it all—from the first sketch to the final sale—the website has to be the steady hand that guides the client. I focused on a design that unifies their real estate and construction expertise, making it easy for families to see that their dream home is in good hands from start to finish.” — Doug Walker

The Challenge

As a family business in Columbus, IN, that handles both the sale and construction of homes, Spoon needed a way to present their wide range of services without overwhelming the visitor. The challenge was to create a design that felt personal and “small in size” but maintained the professional weight of a top-tier construction firm. We had to solve the puzzle of balancing high-volume photography with clear, action-oriented navigation.

The Strategy

The design strategy focused on “Experience-Driven Search.” We wanted to guide the user through the entire process—from initial design and community selection to the final walk-through. By creating dedicated paths for “Real Estate” and “Custom Construction,” we ensured that every visitor, regardless of their specific needs, could find a clear starting point for their journey.

The Solution

  • Categorized Design Galleries: A structured visual system that highlights specific interior and exterior features to inspire custom builds.
  • Service-Siloed Navigation: Clear, separate areas for New Construction, Real Estate, and In-House Custom Design.
  • Community-Based SEO: Content and mapping structured around their key building locations like Maple Ridge and Stonehaven.

The Result

Spoon Real Estate & Construction now has a polished, modern platform that reflects its commitment to “Best in Service.” The site is fast, secure, and serves as a powerful bridge between their decades of experience and the next generation of Columbus homeowners.
