Capital Supply of Columbia is a locally owned Columbia supply hub founded in 1956. KnightOps was hired to replace a long-serving, information-rich legacy website with a modern production experience without throwing away the old site’s real strength: unusually deep product knowledge. The engagement became more than a visual redesign. We preserved and reorganized legacy catalog knowledge, built a modern department architecture, created faster paths for customers trying to identify or source a part, and launched the finished experience on the client’s existing domain.
The visual system was built around the business that already existed rather than inventing a generic hardware-store identity. Deep Capital Supply green, bright heritage gold, the original Capital Supply marks, the South Carolina silhouette, and a 70-year anniversary system make the site feel rooted on Two Notch Road. The result is deliberately local, established, practical, and unmistakably Capital Supply.
The old site contained valuable knowledge but made visitors work to reach it. The new site treats that knowledge as an operational advantage: four major departments, a searchable catalog, product-specific legacy detail, Identify a Part, Do We Have It?, contractor-oriented calls to action, store information, reviews, and a rotating Store Bulletin. The goal is to shorten the distance between “I need this part” and “Capital Supply can help me.”
Preserve the institutional knowledge. Modernize the path to it. Rather than flattening a 70-year Columbia supply hub into a fashionable brochure, the redesign uses strong hierarchy, dimensional department cards, branded wayfinding, dense-but-readable catalog surfaces, and mobile-first actions. The site feels contemporary without erasing the character and practical depth that made the original useful.
This was a migration-and-modernization project, not a blank-slate mockup. KnightOps first documented the outgoing site, then used that archive to preserve valuable product knowledge and imagery while restructuring the experience around modern search, mobile use, department discovery, and direct customer actions. The old-to-new comparison is part of the case study because it shows the actual transformation rather than asking prospects to imagine it.

Capital Supply required a custom engagement because the job was not simply to design a new brochure site. The work included documenting the outgoing site, preserving unusually deep legacy product information, restructuring a large catalog, creating custom part-finding and inventory-inquiry paths, building a heritage-driven visual identity, and migrating the finished experience onto the client’s established domain without discarding the value accumulated by the old site.
Capital Supply of Columbia is a live, deployed client build — not a concept demonstration. Explore the production website directly to see the current experience.
