I originally built this website in HTML back in early 2000.
Since then, websites have had to adapt and evolve alongside technology. I took the original concept and transformed it into a responsive website.
Nichols Surf Shop has been providing surf lessons to people of all ages and abilities since the 1980s and has developed a unique teaching routine that takes just two hours, with one hour on land and one in the surf.
Nichols also rents AND delivers SUPs, Kayaks, Bicycles & Surf Boards, and offers Kayak Ecotours to make your play in New Smyrna Beach all the more enjoyable. There is also an online shop with incredible, custom designed surf gear.
This website was pure delight to build, AND the owners of Nichols are pure delight! You will love working with them.
The Ecotour Guides are Florida Master Naturalists & lead ecotours for visitors and locals alike. I was an ecotour guide for Nichols for years, until my move back to the mountains!

A website has to keep evolving with the times.
The old website was static HTML. Now we have phones, ipads, laptops, big screen TVs - all of which are used to surf the web.
As a result, the old html cannot shrink and grow. This was the first reason for the re-design. The second was to add sections that showcase all that Nichols offers New Smyrna Beach.
Next we will be adding a section highlighting the surfboard repair that is done at the shop.

The Gallery is sectioned, based on the type and place of the sculpture art. Below are some screenshots of the header and beginning of the first gallery. Click on the images to get the best visual of the website and galleries, and how they function.
The Galleries feature a beautiful lightbox to view details
Visit Fred's blog. There you will find the stories behind the art.
Project H20 was a wonderful program to educate the public on the importance of keeping the Indian River Lagoon healthy. Unfortunetly, they ran out of grant money and no longer have a live website. If you wish to learn what you can visit www.befloridiannow.org
There is also a .pdf of the entire website for the client to review that you can download, as it is full of useful information for anyone living near water.
We also created yard signs for the community.
This project was beautiful and meaningful. I wish that there were projects like this in every neighborhood!
