Small Business Ecommerce Website: Handmade Tallow Skin Care, Sold Nationwide From Melbourne, Florida

Tallow & Tide Co. is a family and veteran owned skin care company run by Rachel and Dallas Taylor. They render their own tallow from locally sourced, grass fed and finished beef fat and turn it into whipped moisturizer, sun protection and bug protection. We built them a full WooCommerce store, designed to feel like the coast it comes from.

Tallow & Tide Co.

Starting problemCustomers who found Tallow & Tide at markets and events loved the product. One local aesthetician started using it as the last moisturizer for her own clients. But there was nowhere online to send anyone. No store, no product pages, no way to reorder, and nothing that explained why tallow, or why theirs.
DiagnosisSmall skin care brands live and die on trust. Shoppers cannot smell the product or feel the texture through a screen, so the site has to do that work: real photos, plain ingredients, and a short path from first look to checkout, in a store that looks as handmade and coastal as the brand itself.
What we changedA design system pulled from the tin, with the warm clay of the labels, an elegant serif and line-drawn florals. Collections organized by the problem a shopper has, product pages with gallery, options and Add to cart above the fold, a store locator, an events page, a wholesale page and a blog that answers the questions people search before they think about tallow.

What it meant for the business

Tallow & Tide went from a product people loved at markets to a nationwide online store with its own look, its own story and a blog that brings in shoppers through Google. The website feels like the brand because it was built from the brand.

The design

Coastal, warm, and built to sell.

We started from the brand they already had: the sunrise logo, the wavy label, the hand lettered wordmark. The site uses that same warm clay from the labels on its top bar and buttons, an elegant serif for headlines, and soft line drawn florals tucked behind the header and product details. The homepage hero is a slider of their own product photography: a tin of Sun Shield held up against the Atlantic, a tin of Bug Shield resting on oak bark, each slide with one promise and one button.

Most shoppers do not arrive knowing what a tallow balm is. They arrive with a problem: a sunburn, dry winter skin, mosquitoes at the backyard cookout. So the store is organized around those needs, with collections for Sun Protection, Natural Skin Care and Bug Protection in the main navigation. Every product page leads with a large photo gallery, then the options that matter, then a clear Add to cart.

  • Their own photography in every section, never stock.
  • Brand details from the label carried into type, color and line art.

Beyond the checkout

A store that grows past the website.

Tallow & Tide sells in more places than its own checkout. A store locator page lets shoppers search for retail partners near them, with real customer reviews alongside. An events page shows where to meet the owners in person and try the products by hand. A Collaborations page invites shops, spas and wellness brands to stock the line or order in bulk. One website now supports three kinds of sales: online orders, retail partners and wholesale.

Tallow & Tide sells four products. Many agencies would hand a brand like this a basic template with a product grid and call it done. We went the other way: collection pages, a store locator, an events page, a partner program and a blog, so a four product brand reads like an established company. Small batch makers also sell out, so the store shows stock clearly and lets customers come back when a favorite is restocked.

The results

Found by people with the problem it solves.

The blog was built to answer the questions shoppers type into Google before they ever think about tallow. That strategy is working. The article on how long bug repellent lasts now sits on the first page of Google for how long does mosquito repellent last, a search made about 720 times a month, and just off page one for a cluster of related questions. The site has also earned links from 47 referring domains, a real base for a brand this young.

Search is still early. Most of the rankings so far come from the blog, not the product pages, and product keywords like tallow moisturizer are the next goal.
