The Backstory
Press to Pixel
Founded in 2001, Ricks Printing was a trusted trade printer in Portland. They built long-standing relationships largely through word of mouth. However, as the industry evolved and new competitors emerged, the one area they needed to catch up was their online presence.

The Design Solution
A One-Page Scroll Website
The client came to us with a barebones website and a clear request to keep it simple. They didn’t want to stray far from what was already familiar to their clients. They just wanted a smarter and sharper version of it.
We proposed a streamlined Single Page website design. This layout delivered everything a customer needed at a glance without forcing them to click through multiple menus.
The new scrolling website layout put their industrial printers front and center. It featured bold images, key machine stats, and a looping intro video that showed their equipment in action. It was clean, direct, and built for speed just like their print work.
