THE LOCAL BOOKSHELF
The Local Bookshelf needed a brand identity that felt like a personal library, not a generic used bookstore, something warm enough to make browsing feel like coming home. From there, the site needed to turn that same feeling into an online shop that actually sells books.

Sprint Websites designed a full logo and brand identity for The Local Bookshelf, built around the warmth of a well-loved home library rather than a typical retail bookstore look. That identity carried from the stickers she would put on books into a custom Squarespace ecommerce build, with shop templates styled to make browsing feel inviting instead of transactional. Sarah brought her own writing and SEO expertise to the project, so Sprint Websites focused on the visual side: brand direction, imagery style, and a shop experience built to showcase her curated, gently used book selection.
“I had the pleasure of working with Jodi and Sprint Websites for my 'The Local Bookshelf' site, and I found her service and attention excellent at every stage. I appreciated how organized she is up front, making sure to capture the vision and details I wanted right from the start. I found her process efficient and respectful of my time, and absolutely loved the new logo and site design she came up with for me. She didn't leave me hanging once it was live either, she made herself available for a short session after I had a chance to take over, which gave me the confidence I knew what I was doing. Would 100% recommend hiring Jodi and Sprint Websites (And I have recommended her to othere people.)!”
— Sarah Mullaly, Owner of The Local Bookshelf
