Small Town Saturday is a community initiative celebrating the unique character of small towns across the Red River Valley. They needed a website that was as welcoming and genuine as the events themselves.
The Challenge
The organizers were promoting events through word-of-mouth and social media alone. They needed a central hub where people could find event details, learn about participating towns, and get involved — without anything complicated to maintain.
The Approach
We built a clean, fast Astro site deployed on Cloudflare’s edge network. The focus was on speed and simplicity: visitors should find what they need in seconds, whether they’re on a phone at the farmers market or a laptop at home.
Key decisions:
- Static-first architecture for maximum speed and zero server costs
- Mobile-first design since most visitors browse on phones
- Local SEO so people searching for community events in the RRV find the site naturally
- Simple content structure so organizers can request updates without technical knowledge
The Result
The site launched quickly and immediately became the go-to resource for Small Town Saturday events. Fast load times, strong local search presence, and a design that reflects the warmth of small-town community life.
