The brief

A new store.
A new name.
No website yet.

SM Marketplace is a walk-in butcher and seafood store in Girraween, run by the team behind Sutcliffe Meats. Premium meat and seafood at low prices, open seven days.

It needed a website from the ground up: a domain, a look that matched the food, and a simple way for the team to show each week’s specials.

01

Make the food the hero

Meat and seafood sell on how they look. The design had to put big, rich photography front and centre on every page.

02

Specials that change every week

In-store specials change weekly, so the team needed to post them themselves, without waiting on a developer.

03

Bring people through the door

There’s no online ordering. Every page had to point people to the store, its opening hours and this week’s deals.

The build

Designed around the food.
Built for the team running the store.

SM Marketplace homepage, mobile
01 / Design

Dark, rich
and appetising.

A dark brick-and-slate look with full-width meat and seafood photography, and warm gold buttons that point every visitor to this week’s specials.

02 / Launch

From a new domain
to a live site.

We registered the domain, set up DNS and took the site live in September 2023, working with the store’s IT provider so email worked from day one.

03 / Sign-ups

A newsletter that
runs itself.

Sign-up forms feed straight into Klaviyo with an automatic welcome email, and a quarterly meat and seafood pack giveaway gives people a reason to join.

04 / Handover

Built for the team
to run.

Set up on WordPress so the store’s marketing manager can change specials, pages and offers without a developer.
