Custom design & build

Designed around the client's content and customers rather than a template, and built on WordPress so their own staff can edit every page.

Our photography

Every image on the site was shot by Hoke Designs — people, product and place — so the site looks like the business, not a stock library.

The story

The brief

The Senate Building on Franklin Street houses a dozen shops and offices. The site is a tenant directory, a history of the 1913 building with archival photos, and a leasing inquiry form for the owners. The current design replaced the 2018 version with a black-and-white photographic look.

What we did

One of downtown Juneau's landmark buildings, in the historic district since 1913.
