Firearms & Craftsmanship · Website Redesign

A website built with the same precision as the rifles.

SAFT Custom Rifle Works builds some of the most accurate hunting rifles coming out of Alaska — but the site representing that work didn’t reflect the craft behind it. We redesigned it in five weeks to give Ray’s builds, services, and reputation a home online worth the name on the rifle.

Precision work, presented without precision.

Every rifle that leaves Ray’s bench goes through 140+ hours of work and a 100-point inspection before it’s handed off. That level of craft has built a loyal customer base across Alaska and beyond — but the old site didn’t carry any of that weight. It gave potential clients no clear way to understand what a “custom build” actually meant, what it would cost to get started, or how to reach out with confidence.

For a one-man shop built entirely on reputation and referrals, the website is often a new client’s first impression of that craftsmanship — and it was underselling it. The gap was perception, not capability. The brand looked like the startup it used to be, the website spoke to small teams, and the product UI had not kept pace with the sophistication underneath it. Procurement committees could not see the enterprise-grade company in front of them.

Let the work speak, then make it easy to commission.

We rebuilt the site around SAFT’s actual process — Workshop, Machine Work, Services, Builds, Testimonials — so a visitor moves from “who is this guy” to “here’s exactly what a build costs and how it works” without friction. Custom Builds, Gunsmithing, and Semi-Custom services are broken out with real starting prices, so serious buyers can self-qualify before they ever pick up the phone. A build gallery showcases finished rifles and collaborations, and a structured request form routes inquiries straight to Ray by service type and caliber — cutting down the back-and-forth before a quote can even start.

The outcome

140+ hrs

Documented per-build craftsmanship, now front and center on the homepage

100 pt

Inspection process turned into a trust signal for new clients, not just a back-office standard

1 form

Structured request flow replacing an unclear, generic contact process

The new site finally looks like the work I actually do. People reach out already knowing what they want — that never used to happen.
