Amy Strunk Designs

website | copywriting

Amy Strunk Designs is a Chapel Hill-based landscape design firm with an extensive portfolio of landscape, garden, and floral design. The firm sought out Detail & Design because they needed a website and copywriting to display and describe their beautiful work.

Detail & Design worked with owner Amy Strunk to help her establish the four main services that she would offer. We then wrote engaging copy to describe each service and designed unique page layouts to highlight the gorgeous photographs of the firm’s work.

Thompson Joinery

website | logo | Print design

Thompson Joinery is a Durham-based woodworking shop specializing in high-quality, custom carpentry, millwork, furniture making, casework, finish, and design. Though they are a successful company experiencing rapid growth, they did not have a website or logo. Owner Matt Thompson sought out Detail & Design for help in establishing the Thompson Joinery brand and building an an online gallery to showcase his work.

Detail & Design used a simple design for Thompson Joinery’s logo - a digitized version of Matt’s signature, which reflected the warm, clean lines used in his woodworking. Later, Matt turned this logo into a brand that Thompson Joinery uses as a signature on their final products. Because this was already a successful business, we created a portfolio-based website that served to showcase the beautiful work that Thompson Joinery has already done in both commercial and residential spaces throughout Durham.

9th Street Durham

website | logo | social media | copywriting | illustration

The Ninth Street Merchants Association is an organization comprised of merchants who own businesses on Durham’s historic Ninth Street. They sought out Detail & Design to help them create a branded presence for the street as a whole as well as for the individual businesses. The goal was for Durham’s Ninth Street to stand out as a go-to Durham destination.

Detail & Design started this project by creating a hand drawn logo that showcased the entire street. This logo anchors the Discover 9th Street website, which lists all businesses in the association, highlights events, and shares the history of the street (originally a Durham milltown!). Detail & Design also manages the association’s social media accounts and maintains their blog, which features a different merchant each month.

Southpoint Animal Hospital

Website | Copywriting | Photography

Southpoint Animal Hospital is a veterinary practice specializing in comprehensive, holistic care of cats and dogs. Though they are a popular practice with clients throughout the Triangle, they had a non-functional website that was not only difficult for clients to navigate, but nearly impossible for the Southpoint Animal Hospital staff to maintain. They asked Detail & Design for a complete website overhaul, including photography, copywriting, a new color palette ,multiple detailed client intake forms, and a new blog.  

The finished Southpoint Animal Hospital website is clean, attractive, and highly functional. It not only helps clients to get necessary information, it includes several contact forms that allow the Southpoint Animal Hospital staff to gather valuable information from their clients. The copywriting and photography on this site serve to illustrate the love and compassion that these vets have for each of their patients.
