Sahara Savannahs
A premium cattery site that turns visitors into approved buyers.
Who they are
A savannah cat cattery. Kings, queens and kittens, placed with buyers across the country.
The situation
No website at all. A cattery placing unusual, expensive animals with nothing to point a serious buyer toward, and no way to be found by anyone searching the breed.
What I built
The whole site from scratch in a week. Cats, breed education, a buying guide, an FAQ, pricing, a waitlist and kitten application forms.
The decisions
Education before the sale.
A savannah is a large, demanding, expensive animal and the wrong owner is bad for everyone, the cat included. The site spends more space explaining the breed than selling it. A breeder willing to talk you out of one is the breeder you trust to sell you one.
The waitlist is the main action, not a buy button.
Kittens are not stock. The site is built around joining a list and being contacted, which is how the business actually works.
Applications, not a cart.
Reputable catteries screen buyers. The form asks questions rather than taking payment.
Kings and queens get their own space.
Serious buyers evaluate the parents before they look at a kitten, so the breeding cats are a section in their own right rather than a footnote.
The outcome
The cattery went from unfindable to receiving enquiries from people searching for the breed.
Timeline and investment
