Project

Chalk Restaurant

About the client

Chalk is an unashamedly local restaurant aimed at providing a relaxed and informal place to eat for the people of Wokingham and the surrounding area. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and with a regular series of wine dinners, gin tastings and other activities, Chalk is an enjoyable place to be. Run by an up and coming management team, Chalk is just one of the projects they have planned

The brief

Chalk urgently needed a new and responsive website that is simple to navigate and can make their multiple menu and event options easy to find and browse, especially on mobile which is where most of their visits come from. Taking one of our existing site designs, we made some layout changes to enhance the navigability, menu/event ordering and selection, newsletter signup and more, turning the project around in a very short time to give them a great new website at a very reasonable cost.

Hotel Miró, Bilbao, Spain

With Hotel Miró, the brief was to take over and manage an existing website built on a commercial WordPress theme as well as the associated SEO and Adwords campaigns. Since taking charge of the site, we have rewritten some of the theme code to better handle the CSS changes the previous agency had applied, and also taken steps to improve site speed, often a weak point of commercial multi-themes.

Recently, we have developed a dedicated ecommerce system allowing the hotel to offer Gift Vouchers direct to website visitors without requiring a third party system.

Aethos Saragano, Umbria

Having designed and built the Aethos brand site, the next step was to develop a website design for their various hotels. Uisng the brand site as a basis, we created a variation that would best showcase their unique properties, including a range of colours that can be selected in each case according to the style of hotel – city, beach, mountain, etc. Aethos Saragano is a good example of this project.

Aethos Hotels Brand Site

As a startup hotel company, Aethos looked to us to provide a stylish web presence quickly and smoothly. Working directly with their Chief Exec and within thier brand guidelines, we pulled together a design for their brand site that showcases the company’s vision and built it in multiple languages in a very short timeframe.

Gran Hotel Domine, Bilbao, Spain

Gran Hotel Domine had an existing single page website that clearly needed updating to showcase the refurbished rooms, suites and other facilities of the hotel. Staring with a bespoke design, we developed a complete new website, including reworking certain elements of the design part way through to highlight new facilities being brought online.

Recently, we have developed a dedicated ecommerce system allowing the hotel to offer Gift Vouchers direct to website visitors without requiring a third party system.

Caelis Restaurant, Barcelona, Spain

As with all restaurants, the key to getting this website right was to present the right mix of the visual with the practical. Website visitors need to be inspired by the images of the dishes, the staff, the restaurant itself, but also be able to find pertinent information quickly, and be able to book a table in just a few clicks.

La Taverna del Mar, Costa Brava, Spain

Together with the owners and managers of La Taverna del Mar, we finalised a design for the new website that encapsulated the history of the restaurant, its informality, proximity to the sea and its primary offering of seafood dishes. The previous site we built for them was particularly pleasing from a visual aspect but was done before responsive website became such a basic requirement, so it was decided that we should maintain the style of the previous site to the greatest extent possible, whilst improving the usability, making the site responsive, permitting management of the site via the WordPress CMS and so on.
