Root & Rise
The fresh start. The brief: a small plant shop that sells as much on advice as on inventory, and wants a website that helps people choose well, not just browse.

The idea
People don’t just buy a plant, they buy the confidence that they won’t kill it. So Root & Rise puts help next to every product: a browsable collection with light and water needs at a glance, short care guides, and a three-question plant finder that recommends something you can actually keep alive. Helpful content is also what search engines reward, so advice does double duty.
The choices that make it feel like this
- Soil, sage and terracotta. A deep green ink on a soft, mossy paper, with a clay-orange accent for the moments that matter.
- Products and advice, side by side. Each featured plant gets a photo, a mood and a one-line care tip. No spreadsheet energy.
- A plant finder that earns a return visit. Simple questions, an honest recommendation, and a natural reason to come to the shop.
- Soft shapes, real texture. Rounded corners, arched photo crops and generous spacing make the whole page feel like a greenhouse, not a warehouse.
- Built to grow. The collection and care sections are structured so a shop owner could add new plants and guides without breaking the layout.
