Idealbikes Website

Client: IdealBikes

IdealBikes were one of my first real clients. They paid me with a beautiful hybrid bicycle I was allowed to enjoy for a full three days until it was stolen in broad daylight, in the middle of Lunenburg, right in front of my house. If you're reading this, and you have my bike, I'm watching you.

idealbikes.ca pre-redesign

Their old site looked outdated and didn't reflect the aesthetic of the shop, its owner, or its clientele.

idealbikes.ca redesigned

I redesigned the site, giving it a dark, slightly gothic feel, and incorporating the use of stylized bike parts. The site is database-driven and includes an admin panel to modify all the data, thus it's more dynamic for both the shop owner and his customers.

I later got an email from a visitor saying:

I just checked out the IdealBikes website and I have to give you kudos for doing an amazing job by getting the feel of the shop & people there and doing a spot-on, creative job with the website. Keep up the good work!

Which really, is the most valuable kind of praise you can get. It's not often than people take the time to send such emails, but it sure is encouraging when it happens!
