About the Client

The LP Ranch is a private Colorado hunting and outdoor destination offering access to premier big game habitat, lodging, and guided experiences near Meeker, Colorado. The ranch spans thousands of acres of carefully managed land, creating opportunities for elk, mule deer, black bear, turkey, and seasonal outdoor activities. The brand needed a website that could communicate both the rugged outdoor experience and the premium nature of the ranch, while making it easy for guests to explore lodging, hunts, and available trips.

The Challenge

The LP Ranch needed a website that could balance strong visual storytelling with practical booking functionality. The site had to showcase the scale and character of the property, highlight lodging and hunting opportunities, and give visitors a clear path to learn more or reserve experiences.

Key objectives included:

  • Creating a bold, visually immersive website that matched the ranch’s premium outdoor identity
  • Making lodging, hunting, and trip information easy to browse
  • Supporting a booking system for lodging and guided experiences
  • Building flexible content management tools so the client could update pages without relying on a developer
  • Ensuring the site worked well across desktop and mobile devices

My Approach

I built a custom WordPress theme designed specifically for The LP Ranch, using Advanced Custom Fields to create flexible, easy-to-manage content sections throughout the site. Rather than relying on a page builder, I developed a tailored editing experience that allowed the client to manage ranch content, imagery, lodging details, and trip information in a structured way.

My work included:

  • Building a fully custom WordPress theme
  • Creating custom ACF fields for flexible page content and easy updates
  • Developing reusable content sections for ranch information, lodging, activities, and hunting pages
  • Integrating a booking system for lodging and guided trip experiences
  • Structuring the site to support rich photography and large visual sections
  • Optimizing the experience across desktop and mobile devices
  • Creating a backend editing workflow that made the site easier for the client to maintain
