The context

A young local company with a long family connection to the work.

Tilikum Tree Care was founded in 2024, but its story reaches back through four generations of logging and timber experience. The family-owned business serves Gold Beach, Brookings, Port Orford, and Bandon, along with customers across Curry, Coos, and Josephine counties.

Its work ranges from tree removal, trimming, and cabling to wildfire mitigation, land clearing, and disaster response. That range creates a practical website challenge: a property owner should be able to recognize the right service quickly, understand where the crew works, and choose a direct way to start a conversation.

Before and after

From a general welcome screen to a direct statement of the work.

Before A sparse welcome screen introduced the name but said little about the service.

After The new opening names the work, territory, credentials, and next actions.

The design direction

Let the people, terrain, and equipment carry the identity.

The previous homepage led with an aerial forest-road photograph and a broad welcome message. The redesign opens on a worker handling real material in a coastal forest, then pairs that image with a plain description: expert tree care and land management.

Black, white, and a vivid pink accent give the site a more distinctive visual system without competing with the job photography. The same accent marks the primary estimate action, while a second path lets a visitor call or text a photo of a tree. Those options match the way the live site asks prospective customers to make contact.

Licensing, bonding, insurance, the service territory, and CCB number appear as concrete details, not vague claims. Further down, the company story explains the meaning of “Tilikum”—people, family, and community—and connects it to the family’s timber background.

What was built

A service business site organized around fast recognition and real proof.

01

Clear service paths

Removal, mitigation, clearing, cabling, trimming, and disaster response are separated so visitors can scan the scope of work without translating industry language.

02

Local grounding

The named coastal communities, county coverage, family story, and contractor details make the site specific to the company that will arrive on the property.

03

Work in view

A gallery of the crew, trees, equipment, and completed work replaces generic visual filler with material a prospective customer can connect directly to the service.

“Nathan is hands down the best website designer in Gold Beach, Oregon. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and way beyond what I expected. He really takes the time to understand your business and builds a site that not only looks great but actually performs and brings in customers.

What stood out most is how optimized everything is with fast load times, clean layout, mobile friendly, and clearly built with SEO in mind. You can tell he knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to getting your business noticed online.

If you're in or around Gold Beach and need a website, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Nathan is reliable, easy to work with, and just an all-around great guy who delivers top-quality results. Highly recommend.”
