Zap Skimboards
About the Client
Zap Skimboards has been the world’s leading manufacturer of skim boards and accessories for over 20 years. Their name has become synonymous with the sport of skimboarding due to their close association with its development and evolution.
Interested in e-commerce, regularly updated team member profiles and a competition listing, Zap looked toward GravityFree. We were hired to completely overhaul Zap’s existing web presence, covering everything from design to content management.
New Goals for a New Site
The home page presents the user with a variety of featured content, including a large image that randomly changes each time the page loads, a rotating news ticker and brief text about the company. Each one of these aspects is updateable through an administrative site designed specifically for the Zap team.
Zap’s skimboards are primarily marketed toward a younger audience, so providing a design geared toward that crowd was vital. By employing a worn, scratchy texture across the entire site and using a loosely handwritten font for headlines, GravityFree achieved just that.
