Why this project matters
Why this project matters
Trusses, ready-mix concrete and retail building supplies are three different manufacturing and delivery operations, and presenting them as one integrated system — organized around project packages like garages or barns — makes it easier for a customer to see the whole job covered by one supplier.
Who this is for
Who they are
Sunshine Building Supplies is a family-operated business in Edson, Alberta, serving Yellowhead County.
What they do
They manufacture trusses (Edson Truss), produce and pump ready-mix concrete (Sunshine Redi-Mix), and sell retail building supplies across 13 product categories.
Who they serve
Homeowners and contractors in the Edson/Yellowhead County area building garages, barns, houses or sheds.
What the live site required
Not a wishlist from a kickoff call — what the delivered site visibly had to solve. Every requirement here is paired with the evidence that makes it true today.
Three manufacturing/retail operations presented as one integrated business
ContentTrusses (Edson Truss), ready-mix concrete (Sunshine Redi-Mix) and retail supplies all appear under one shared navigation and brand.
Project-package framing rather than a flat product list
ContentService packages are organized by project type — garages, barns, houses, sheds — rather than only by individual product category.
Why this stack, not just what stack
Every technology on this project was a specific answer to a specific problem — never a default.
- 01
WordPress
Chosen so the company can manage three integrated divisions and a growing shop catalog without developer involvement.
- 02
Elementor
Chosen for the multi-division homepage layout and the four-step project process explanation.
Trade-off — Elementor unifies the three divisions visually, but the four-step project process is explanatory content, not a tracked workflow — there's no way for a customer to see where their own project actually stands within it.
What the site can actually do
Multi-division navigation
Trusses, ready-mix concrete and retail supplies each with dedicated content.
Project packages
Garage, barn, house and shed packages framed as complete solutions.
E-commerce shop
Retail supplies available through an integrated shop.
Testimonial carousel
Customer testimonials rotating on the homepage.
What the finished build shows
Specific, verifiable patterns in how this project is put together — not a feature list, but how the pieces fit.
Packages layered above the individual categories
Garage, barn, house and shed packages sit above the 13 individual product categories rather than replacing them — a visitor can shop by finished project or by raw product.
Shop covers one division, not all three
The e-commerce shop covers only the retail-supplies division — trusses and ready-mix concrete are presented as service-based divisions rather than being folded into the same cart.
The live experience
Every screen, captured directly from the live site — desktop, tablet and mobile.
How this project's engineering applies to your business
Framing a diversified building-supply business around complete project packages rather than a flat product catalog applies to any supplier selling components of a larger job — fencing companies, roofing suppliers, or landscaping material yards.
If you remember three things
Three divisions, one brand
Manufacturing, concrete and retail unified under shared navigation.
Project-first framing
Packages organized by build type rather than a flat product list alone.
Family-business trust signals
Ownership and local-area focus stated directly on the site.
