Overview

A nostalgic vision,
made real.

Mia & Ashleigh came with a clear vision: create a small, nostalgic “90s kid summer” camp—slow, playful, outdoorsy—and make it feel legit from day one.

They didn’t want complicated software. They needed something simple that parents could trust and use easily.

The Challenge

Simple on the outside.
Solid on the inside.

They needed a site that could do a lot of things well—without feeling heavy or complicated to anyone using it.

At the same time, they were running this summer camp themselves—so it had to be easy to manage behind the scenes too.

  • Clearly explain the summer camp concept and weekly structure
  • Show limited availability (only 8 spots total)
  • Allow parents to register their child and select weeks
  • Encourage commitment with upfront payment options
  • Feel polished and real—without overbuilding

The Approach

Built around
how they actually work.

Instead of reaching for a bulky summer camp platform, we created a lightweight, custom website focused on clarity and ease—designed around how Mia & Ashleigh actually operate.

  • A simple homepage that communicates the vibe (90s-style, outdoors, creative play)
  • Clear weekly structure—7 weeks, Monday–Friday, 9–5
  • Straightforward pricing: $500/week or $3,000 for all 7 (discounted)
  • Visual cues to show limited availability, including pre-filled spots
  • Personal touches with photos of Mia & Ashleigh
  • Visual “feel” inspired by their reference site and vision board
  • Mobile-first design for busy parents
