About Blanton’s Blossoms

Decades after launching one of Chicago’s premier plumbing companies, Stacey and Jack Blanton decided to start a new chapter in their lives by launching Blanton’s Blossoms. Based in Woodstock, Illinois, their new flower farm offers a wide variety of floral products, as well as farm experiences including photography sessions, U-pick outings, workshops, and more. 

The Project

Geek Chicago’s connection with the Blanton family runs deep, and we were honored when Stacey and Jack entrusted us with the development of their new website, leveraging a gorgeous style guide and design template by our longtime friends at Angela Carpenter Creative and stunning photos from our frequent collaborator Nathanael Filbert Photography.

About Karen Leuschow

Based in New Glarus, Wisconsin, Karen Leuschow Attorney at Law is a solo practitioner law firm focused on providing client centered legal services that make even the most complex legal issue manageable, with areas of practice including juvenile law, family law, special education law, and criminal law. 

Karen came to Geek Chicago looking for a modern website that would reflect her core values while being clean and easy-to-navigate for her clients. 

The Project

Geek Chicago worked closely with Karen and our design partner to develop a new style guide that would present a fresh and appealing image to her target audience, complete with a new brand color palette, typography guidelines, patterns, and a refreshed logo.

Next, Geek Chicago leveraged this new style guide to design and develop a custom, user-friendly, and SEO-ready site that promoted Karen’s experience and qualifications, while offering users a streamlined experience, intuitive site navigation, and accessible contact forms. Concurrent with launching the new site, Geek Chicago’s development team provided education and training to the client on content management and local SEO to ensure a successful and impactful rollout.
