01

The problem

Kestrel sells gear, rents gear, and runs guided weekends. All three ran under the same faded mark, and customers who came in for a rental had no idea the trips existed. The site buried the trips three clicks down, under a menu item called More.

02

The approach

We split the business into three named lines under one parent mark, so a rental customer sees the trips without being sold to. Each line gets its own color band and its own landing page, sharing type and layout so the parent brand stays obvious. Trip pages carry dates, difficulty, what is included and one honest paragraph about the weather.

03

The outcome

The three lines finally read as one company with three doors. Trips have their own pages that can be shared as a link, which is how most of them are now booked, and the shop can add a new departure without touching the design.

What changed

Sample figures for the template. Put your own numbers here, or delete the block. Never publish a figure you cannot show a client where it came from.

Why panels, not screenshots

The concept blocks above are drawn in plain CSS from the type and color system, so this template never shows a logo that belongs to somebody else. Replace them with photographs or screens of your own work when you make the site yours.
