Building a Lasting Partnership with Augusta Homes

Introduced to us through our work with Shaeffer Hyde Construction, Augusta Homes came to Wonderstruct seeking a refreshed digital presence that reflected their reputation for quality and elegance. What began with a website redesign has grown into a deep, ongoing partnership where we serve as an extension of their team—supporting everything from digital campaigns to software consultations.

We wanted a website that not only represented our brand and the work we deliver to homeowners, but also pushed the envelope of what a builder’s website could be. Wonderstruct gave us a clear process, welcomed our big ideas, and provided the resources we needed to make the right decisions. They set goals and timelines that kept us on track and delivered a website we’re incredibly proud of.

Our Role

Website Redesign & Brand Expansion
Our engagement began with a full website redesign. Using Augusta’s existing logo as a foundation, we expanded their visual identity into a cohesive construction company branding system that translates across digital and print.

Key Client-Focused Outcomes:

  • Brand Cohesion: After nearly 20 years of accumulated clutter—outdated plans, an old logo featured throughout, and patchwork content that had become a mess of band-aid solutions—Augusta needed more than a refresh. They needed a complete reset. A seamless identity across web, print, and marketing now gives clients confidence that Augusta delivers with the same polish and consistency they expect in a custom home
  • User-Centered Website Design: Intuitive navigation and a mobile-first experience help prospective homeowners quickly understand the custom home building process, find inspiration, explore floorplans, and connect with the Augusta team.
  • Storytelling Through Visuals: Augusta had historically invested significant amounts in professional photography, but it wasn't being updated or properly featured. High-quality photography, drone footage, and crafted image treatments now position that investment correctly—allowing clients to see Augusta's precision and lifestyle value in ways that truly showcase their work.
  • Enhanced Digital Experience: Faster load times and simplified site structure make it easier for busy clients to access the portfolio, compare projects, and take next steps without friction.
  • SEO & Conversion Focus: Optimized page structures and strategic calls-to-action ensure Augusta appears where clients are searching—and converts more inquiries into qualified leads.
  • Scalable Design System: Templates and visual guidelines give Augusta the flexibility to add new projects or marketing campaigns while maintaining the same elevated look clients expect.
  • Print & Marketing Alignment: Brochures, presentations, and collateral mirror the digital brand—helping clients experience Augusta’s luxury promise consistently at every touchpoint.

Capturing Augusta’s Story On-Site

To help Augusta showcase the heart of their brand, we hosted a full on-site workshop dedicated to storytelling through visuals. Over several days, our team captured:

  • Homes — Drone and interior footage highlighting Augusta’s craftsmanship, design details, and livability.
  • Office Environment — Photos and video of the day-to-day culture and team collaboration.
  • Staff Portraits — Professional imagery and video interviews that humanize the brand and highlight Augusta’s people-first approach.

Beyond the asset creation, this on-site session served as a strategic planning opportunity, allowing Augusta to approach annual planning, budgeting, and prioritization in a focused, collaborative environment. It's an approach we'd recommend any client build into their year, whether on-site or virtually.

This session produced a robust library of photography and videography that Augusta now leverages across their website, social media, proposals, and marketing campaigns, bringing their brand to life in a consistent and authentic way.
