Sawyer Sewing
Sawyer Sewing, a family-owned retail store in Victoria, BC, needed a modern, flexible website to showcase their extensive selection of sewing machines, accessories, and repair services. Their old site limited control and slowed updates, making it difficult to keep products current or reflect sales and promotions. Radar Hill partnered with them to create a custom, user-friendly platform that would highlight their inventory, integrate e-commerce capabilities, and reflect the in-store experience online. Key challenges included designing custom product fields and an intuitive events calendar to manage their classes and clubs. The new site allows Sawyer Sewing to showcase featured products, promote sales, provide smooth online purchasing, and manage content independently—helping them maintain strong sales even during disruptions like COVID-19.
Project Features
“Because of this website I’m getting sales that I never would have gotten otherwise, especially from far-flung communities. As a result, the business was also more than prepared for Covid-19, and the website Radar Hill built is directly responsible for keeping the business afloat. We’ve had staggering record sales, which would not have happened without the website. Having a website with Radar Hill has been awesome. It is a bit of an expense to get it all up and running, but well worth the money as the results have been great. Getting a new site is one of those things that I should have done years ago. There was no stress whatsoever. People say they come into the store because they saw an ad or product on the website, and I never had that before. I also have people calling weekly saying that they are on my website, and asking about classes or clearance items. Working with Radar Hill has been so easy and very casual. I probably bug Dan too much, but one thing I like is always dealing with a person. I never feel like an inconvenience, and I like that my ideas are listened to. I brag about Radar Hill all the time, and we've been getting compliments about the website, that's been wonderful. I'm very happy."
