MS Sewing Station
A New Zealand alterations business needed a site that worked harder than their Facebook page. Built first as a fast preview to give the owner something concrete to react to — then refined after feedback to focus on the four core services they actually wanted to lead with.

The approach
When you can't get a meeting, you can sometimes get a preview. I built a fast static mockup based on what was publicly visible about the business — verified Facebook audience, the kinds of work the owner posts — and sent it over with no obligation.
What changed after feedback
The owner came back with a clear redirection: drop the ethnic stitching focus, lead with alterations. So the site got tightened to four core services — jeans hemming, dresses and skirts shortening, zip replacement, and business uniforms — and the visual hierarchy reorganised around them.
Where it stands
The preview is live and the conversation is open. If the project moves forward, the static mockup becomes the starting point for a Next.js build with a real editing surface.
Key decisions
- 01Forest green + blush pink identity rooted in tailoring tradition, not generic 'business website' palette.
- 02Dropped the ethnic stitching section after client feedback — owner wanted to lead with alterations only.
- 03Four service pillars: jeans hemming, dresses & skirts shortening, zip replacement, business uniforms.
- 04Static HTML preview for speed of iteration. Ready to migrate to Next.js with a real CMS if the project moves forward.
