Cannabis Website Design

Cannabis Website Design Brief
UpNorth Distribution, a California-based cannabis brand, needed a website that reflected the quality of their products and the ambition behind their vision. As a fast-growing company with a curated selection of top-tier strains, they wanted a digital experience that spoke to both consumers and potential partners—while staying compliant and easy to navigate.
As a freelance web designer and developer, I partnered with their leadership team to build a fast, clean, and informative website that elevated their brand and helped them stand out in a crowded market.
The Challenge
UpNorth needed a website that:
- Clearly showcased their premium cannabis strains
- Directed users to dispensaries that carry their products
- Positioned them as a reputable partner for brands and farms
- Felt modern and trustworthy without being overbuilt or hard to manage
- Complied with cannabis industry marketing guidelines
They were launching into a competitive and highly regulated industry—first impressions would be everything.
My Solution
I designed and developed a small business brochure website focused on clarity, experience, and long-term brand equity.
Key features included:
- A clean, modern design that communicates quality and professionalism
- Strain detail pages that highlight product features and attributes
- A store locator map to help users find nearby dispensaries
- Partner showcase sections for brands and farm collaborators
- A CMS-powered backend for easy updates
Every element of the site was created to build confidence—whether the visitor was a customer, retailer, or potential strategic partner.


The Outcome
The new UpNorth website design helped the company:
- Establish a professional online presence aligned with their brand identity
- Drive more traffic to dispensary locations
- Earn praise from industry partners and customers alike
- Set a foundation for ongoing marketing and content efforts
- Create a clear, credible first impression in a crowded market
