The Challenge:
Jim Meyers is the definition of a small business owner—hardworking, honest, and hands-on. As the sole operator of Hedgehog Tree Care, he needed a website that could do a lot with a little:
- Introduce his unique background and approach to tree care.
- Outline his full range of services—from precision pruning to stump grinding and consultations.
- Showcase client testimonials and photos of his work.
- Provide clear contact information and credentials.
- Deliver all of this in a single, easy-to-navigate page.
The Solution:
WRIS Web Services designed and developed a custom one-page WordPress site that’s both cost-effective and impactful. The layout balances storytelling and functionality—starting with Jim’s origin story growing up on a tree farm, through his journey from Wall Street to the treetops of the Pacific Northwest. Each section clearly outlines services like pruning, tree removal, stump grinding, consultations, and more. We added dynamic photo galleries, real client testimonials, and clear calls to action, all presented with a bold, modern aesthetic that stands out in a crowded local market.
