Introduced by our agency partner, We Are Boutique, we worked with Best Heating specifically on integrating Klaviyo into their website and implementing an effective email marketing strategy.
We worked on the entire proposition from the branding, including typography and colour palette, website design and website development. Combining a sense of modernism whilst still remaining sensitive to the history and locality of the pub throughout the project process.
The main goal of the website is to raise awareness of the Acorn; it’s currently such a hidden gem. There’s courses that you can attend including yoga events, mindfulness and cooking workshops and retreats plus the everyday treatments by wonderful therapists. We wanted to showcase the space online and also make it easier than ever to book a treatment or course. The new website really reflects who the Acorn are, their team and their wellness and wellbeing ethos.
We worked on the entire proposition for The Craven Heifer. For the branding, focus was placed on creating synergy between the existing exterior signage, the logo and body font whilst adding some Yorkshire personality with the scripted headers. The colour palette needed to be bold, characterful like the pub and owners, and the orange accent colour worked really well to highlight key touch points cross the site. As orange is featured across the pub’s interior design, it was fitting to introduce this across the site and create consistency between a user’s online and offline experience.
We underwent a brand relaunch for Distinctive Inns, creating them a timeless logo and icon that sits across sites, uniforms and more. The latest pub opening followed, as did the website launch and then came the photoshoot. Three days took us on a whirlwind photoshoot around Nottingham visiting the pubs and shooting location, interiors, food, customers and bar.
We were honoured to work with Weston Hall, a historic venue in Yorkshire that is, and always has been, a family home. Our brief incorporated the branding, website design and development for this digital project. Using the historic coat of arms, our designers drew a logo to create synergy between the coat of arms and the site. We create a brand guide, complete with fonts and colours that embodied the history and heritage of Weston Hall and focused the design of the website to highlight the story of the Hall, the key features and buildings, gallery and annual opening times for visitors.
The website needed to encapsulate many areas of the estate – from the history of the property and owners to the events that can be hosted there. This came with a particular emphasis on weddings, with such a stunning venue, we’re positive it will attract couples from all over the country to Yorkshire’s next big wedding venue. With the estate in the background of photos, we can see why!
We worked to refresh the existing branding and create additional brand touchpoints throughout the new website design and build project to enhance the online experience and create an effective user journey.

Using the new branding, a key part of the design was to ensure that the master colours became an integral feature of the site. We also introduced some feature graphics to reflect the brand and create a great aesthetic look and feel to the core page designs.
Creating an automated carousel at the top of the site was a key way to showcase key photography and engage the user when landing on the site. We then created a user friendly menu to showcase the core services including the Hotel, Tykes Restaurant, Golf, Weddings, Special Occasions & Conferences so that users could quickly filter through to any area of interest.
We designed and built a website for Ripley Castle which is very image and video led that best shows the various aspects of the castle and grounds which truly make it unique. The drone video on the homepage banner best showed the castle to a scale a static photo couldn’t – the whole castle and grounds are incredible and we needed to convey that to a potential visitor, event booker and couple looking for a wedding venue.
Through our branding process, focus was placed on capturing the atmosphere of the Cotswolds and the history of The Inn that started life 350 years ago as a malt house whilst developing a more bold, modern look and feel that captured the evolution of the Inn that Adam and his team, including Head Chef Matt Weedon have created.
The website needed to reflect the hotel; providing something a little quirky whilst keeping in mind that ultimately, the website needs to convert users into bookings.
