Brink Constructors Inc. Website Redesign – Rapid City, SD

We recently partnered with Brink Constructors Inc., a leading electrical construction company based in Rapid City, South Dakota, to completely rebuild their website from the ground up. The new site delivers faster performance, cleaner design, and an interactive project experience that better represents their expertise across the region.

Project Overview

• Client Type: Electrical Construction Company
• Location: Rapid City, South Dakota
• Services Provided: Web Design, WordPress Development, Custom Plugin Creation, Drone Photography & Videography
• Completion Date: October 2025
• Primary Benefits Delivered:
  • ⚡ Streamlined performance with a lightweight, custom WordPress setup
  • ⚡ Interactive project map showcasing ongoing and completed work

The Challenge

Over time, Brink Constructors’ previous website had become bloated and inconsistent. Multiple designers and developers had worked on it over the years, leaving behind conflicting code, redundant plugins, and poor load times. The site was difficult to update and didn’t reflect the professional quality of Brink Constructors’ operations or the scope of their work across the region.

Our Solution

We started from a clean WordPress install, using Astra as the foundation for its speed and flexibility. From there, our team built a custom child theme to enhance Astra’s base styling with unique design elements and functionality that matched Brink Constructors’ brand.

To highlight their growing list of projects, we developed a custom project map plugin that dynamically displays where Brink Constructors is working across the Midwest. The interactive map allows visitors to easily explore current and past projects with location details and imagery.

To complete the redesign, we partnered with professional drone pilots to capture stunning aerial footage and photos of Brink Constructors’ offices, field operations, and heavy equipment in action — giving the new site a powerful visual presence.

Key Tools & Technologies Used

• WordPress + Astra Theme – Fast, lightweight, and flexible foundation
• Custom Child Theme – Added custom layouts, typography, and styling
• Custom Map Plugin – Interactive project visualization
• Drone Photography & Videography – Authentic visuals of real operations

Results & Impact

The new website delivers a completely refreshed experience:

• ✅ Lightning-fast performance with simplified backend management
• ✅ Unified branding and design across all pages
• ✅ Interactive map feature for showcasing ongoing projects
• ✅ Visually engaging content with drone footage and imagery

Project Overview

To improve visual clarity and audio capture in the worship space, we replaced aging projection and audio systems with modern, network-connected solutions tailored for both in-room experience and livestreaming.

Visual Upgrade

• Old System: A 12-year-old bulb-based projector with dim, uneven output.
• New Installation: A bright, energy-efficient laser projector, delivering significantly improved clarity, contrast, and long-term reliability.
• Result: Crisp, vivid visuals that remain clear even in ambient lighting—ideal for worship lyrics, video content, and scripture slides.

NDI Video Distribution

• Device Installed: BirdDog Play connected to the projector.
• Functionality: Allows any NDI video signal on the network to be sent directly to the projector.
• Use Case: Easily display live video, pre-recorded content, slides, or even camera feeds—wirelessly and with low latency.
• Result: Flexible content distribution with no need for physical HDMI rerouting or manual input switching.

Audio Capture Enhancement

• Installation: Two ceiling-mounted drop microphones positioned to capture congregational singing and ambient room sound.
• Purpose: Designed to enrich livestream audio and recordings by including the full worship environment, not just the pastor’s mic.
• Result: Natural, immersive audio that brings the online audience closer to the in-person experience.

Outcome

This AV upgrade not only modernized outdated equipment but also created a future-ready foundation. With network-based video distribution and improved audio capture, the church now has the tools to elevate both in-person worship and online engagement.
