Jamie Juliana creates and teaches pottery in this home-studio located along the Swatara River in Hummelstown PA. She was in need of a custom website to upgrade from Wix, display her wares, advertise her classes, and promote events where she exhibits and sells her goods.

Since creating the custom website in WordPress, Jamie's classes have exploded in popularity and there is currently a waiting list for attendance.

Goals:

  • Migrate from Wix to a WordPress build with custom design and theme.
  • Promote classes and events to sell Jamie's goods, services, and art shows.
  • Spotlight the pottery witha gallery page and image lightbox.
  • Overhaul SEO to boost search result listings.
  • Display a contact form on every page so that potential students and customers can easily get in touch.
