Case study · cherishbyjohanna.ca ↗
From first sketch to live in four days.
Cherish by Johanna is a home boutique in Rosedale, Chilliwack: watercolour stationery, thoughtful gifts, and an elegant little shoppe of ladies’ hats. Johanna needed a web presence as considered as her collection, without a technology project taking over her life.

What we built
A five page site with its own design system: home, her story, the collection, the hat shoppe, and contact. Soft watercolour tones, generous whitespace, and typography that suits a boutique where every item is chosen with care. Proper SEO and structured data from day one, so local searches find her.
The site went from the first line of code to live at cherishbyjohanna.ca in four days, and it has been refined in small, frequent steps ever since.
A hat shoppe that runs itself
Hats sell one at a time, so the catalogue changes constantly. We built Johanna a simple private portal where she adds a new hat or marks one sold, straight from her phone.
Each update flows into the site’s code repository and republishes the site automatically, usually live within minutes. No content system to wrestle, no logins to forget, nothing for her to maintain. She runs her shoppe; the site keeps up.
In the box
- Custom design system in her brand’s palette and type
- Five pages, phone-first and quick to load
- A private self-serve portal for the hat catalogue
- Search engine optimization built in
- Managed hosting, SSL, and updates, handled by us
Why we build this way
We keep complete control of the creative process by owning the code. Every site we build lives in its own private repository, on a hosting pipeline we run end to end. No page builders, no plugins, nothing that breaks in the night.
Every change ships through a preview we look at before it goes public, so updates are effortless and safe. When a site is this easy to change, it stays alive: small fixes happen the day they are noticed, and the site keeps pace with the business it serves.
