In 2014 I decided to channel my lifelong love of skateboarding into launching my own DIY brand called GEAR Skateboards. The website was at the heart of the entire business model, as one of my main goals was to sell our boards directly to customers.
I built the website with WordPress, Elementor Pro, and used WooCommerce for our shopping cart. In addition to handling all incoming orders, including packing and shipping, I also handled all of the social media marketing, and the filming/editing of all of our promotional skate videos.
From 2014–2024, GEAR Skateboards had an exciting run. However, due to ongoing expenses and scheduling conflicts, I chose to put the business on indefinite hiatus. The full WordPress WooCommerce site has been archived until further notice.
The current website is a simple landing page I built with SiteJet that features all of our main skate videos. https://gearskateboards.com
There is also a demo Shop page, where you can get an idea of where we left off. This was also built with SiteJet that can be viewed here: https://shop.gearskateboards.com
