Qualicum Beach Farmers Market
Custom WordPress Website
Nestled in the heart of Vancouver Island, the Qualicum Beach Farmers Market has been a Saturday morning tradition since 1997. The market celebrates local makers, bakers, and growers with fresh, homegrown, and handmade products. Our collaboration with the market resulted in a refreshed brand identity and a modern, community-focused website that embodies the spirit of connection, sustainability, and local pride.
The Brief
The Qualicum Beach Farmers Market needed a website that would serve three audiences at once: vendors seeking clear guidelines and application forms, visitors looking for event details, vendor lists, and market information, and supporters interested in contributing to the market’s growth. The goal was to design a digital hub that captured the warmth and vibrancy of the market while offering practical tools for communication and promotion. The site had to highlight the market’s long history, provide simple navigation, and showcase the diversity of vendors.
The Results
The redesigned website now brings the farmers market’s story and energy online with vibrant visuals and authentic photography that highlight vendors, fresh produce, and the community atmosphere. It includes dedicated vendor resources with clear information pages and downloadable application forms, along with a visitor-friendly design featuring mobile-first layouts, vendor directories, and market schedules at the forefront. Community storytelling is woven throughout the site using timeline elements and supporter features to celebrate the market’s history and partnerships. With its refreshed brand identity, parallax visuals, and engaging layout, the website reflects the market’s mission of supporting local food security, small business, and community connection. It creates an inviting digital gateway that encourages both new and returning visitors to join the weekly tradition.
