Morrow Gardens / Landscape design

A garden story.
Room to breathe.

Morrow Gardens explores how a small landscape design practice can present its work with the same care it brings to a garden. Photography leads; the structure makes it easy to move from inspiration to a conversation.

01 / THE CONCEPT BRIEF

What the website needed to do.

Create a residential landscape design website that feels personal and considered. Help a visitor understand the practice, explore different garden types and see what happens before they enquire.

02 / DIRECTION

A calm first impression.

The opening garden photograph establishes the subject immediately. Generous spacing and a restrained green palette give the images room, while serif headlines bring an editorial tone. Short introductions keep the focus on the landscape rather than a wall of sales copy.

03 / STRUCTURE

Let the work do the explaining.

The home page introduces the practice and selected gardens. Dedicated work, studio and approach pages answer different questions: what does the work look like, who is behind it, and how does a project move forward? Project stories add the setting and design choices that a thumbnail cannot communicate.

04 / ENQUIRY

A shorter path to a conversation.

Visitors can explore the portfolio before using the design-call or contact links. Enquiry prompts describe the next step so that browsing a garden does not end at an image gallery. This is a sample journey; it does not represent a real garden consultation service.

05 / RESPONSIVE

The same story on a smaller screen.

The concept includes mobile navigation and a compact bottom navigation for work, approach, studio and contact. The layout keeps photographs central while letting supporting text stack into a readable sequence. A real delivery would also verify the final content, accessibility and device behaviour against the agreed scope.

06 / CONTENT

A structure ready for future projects.

A project collection is a natural fit for this type of site: title, location, garden type, cover image, story and gallery. Those are possible CMS fields for a commissioned version. This concept demonstrates the public website; a connected, client-managed CMS is not claimed here.

07 / BUILD

A light, readable foundation.

Shared Node.js templates generate complete static HTML for the portfolio and project pages. Browser JavaScript adds filters, image viewers and navigation; locally hosted fonts and imagery keep those assets under the site’s control. The public pages can be read before the interactive layer loads.

The useful lesson.

A portfolio becomes more useful when each project has context and a next step. This concept demonstrates the design approach; no client traffic, enquiry increase or business results are claimed.
