Umemura Farm Website – Devlog #3: Rebuilding My LP Structure from the Ground Up

Today’s Key Decision: Reworking the LP Structure

I originally had a rough LP structure mapped out by Day 2, but after sitting with it, I realized it wasn’t strong enough.

So today, I took a step back to revisit:
Step 1: Project Purpose
Step 4: LP Wireframe (HTML Mockup)

This meant rewriting my objectives and redefining how each section connects to user intent. It was a difficult but necessary reset.

The new flow feels much more aligned with the story I want the page to tell.

Step 4.5: Information architecture & content prioritization

This step ended up being naturally integrated into Step 4 during the restructuring. With that handled, I moved on to Step 5.


Step 5: Copywriting

I wrote all core copy for the new layout. Headlines, subheads, and body content.

To make the tone feel more rooted in the region, I experimented with adding local dialect terms from the farming area. It’s subtle, but I think it adds a sense of personality and authenticity.

Compared to my initial draft, this version feels more alive, more honest, more me. That’s always a good sign.


Reflections

  • Rewriting structure mid-way costs time and I was lucky this was a personal project.
  • If this were a real client project with a tight deadline, the reset would’ve been dangerous.
  • I’m reminded how critical it is to lock purpose and user goals before building layout.
  • Also the more I write and build for this farm, the more affection I feel for them.

That’s the magic of creative work. It turns research into care.


Next Step

Step 6: Design (desktop/mobile)

Let’s keep building!
