Your website is the foremost reflection of your brand—the first resource that consumers, media, and the trade refer to, whether they are touring wine country, enjoying fine dining, eyeing retail shelves, or perusing a wholesaler's portfolio.
Our websites aren't pushy. Instead, we create enchanting online environments that have a magnetic pull. Utilizing images, film, animation, decorative motifs, and compelling copy, we'll create an enticing narrative journey that site visitors cannot resist following to the end point of your choosing, be it an allocation list signup or a purchase page.
Our thorough and meticulous approach begins with in-depth strategy and planning and includes multiple milestones in the design phase before development begins on the staging site. We'll communicate regularly and provide you with informational materials so that you always know where we are in the process.
We work by consensus, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned before moving to the next step. Our Vin Website Complete packages also include a customized e-commerce environment, ensuring that the journey from the main pages to the storefront is seamless.
After a comprehensive discovery process, we’ll develop a Creative Brief to summarize your brand identity and project goals, then a Content Outline to guide user impressions and actions for each page.
Next, we’ll present the site navigation structure and wireframe designs. This visual storyboard depicts the page flow and identifies potential places for interactivity, ensuring an intuitive user experience.
Working in the tone of voice determined in the creative brief, we take a journalistic approach to website copy composition, conducting interviews and archival research.
While composing the copy, we will also begin work on any visual content creation that is outlined in the project scope. This may include interactive maps, icons and graphics, sketches, stock photography, image processing, or creative direction for photo shoots.
Our unique, elegant designs will honor your brand’s visual identity, incorporating your colors, typography, and style, while upholding our own high aesthetic standards. They’ll sync with your business and brand strategies, and guide visitors to take the actions you want.
We will present our interactive design rounds as pdfs before moving to development and staging, allowing for fine-tuning early in the process.
We meticulously hand-code WordPress websites that adhere to industry-accepted best practices in Web Standards, accessibility, and supporting technologies. As we work, we share the staging site with you and continue to take feedback into account. We’re flexible, and we want you to be thrilled with the results of our collaboration.
Search engine optimization is crucial for helping customers find your content in a crowded online information space. We build it into our website process.
External integrations can help supercharge a website with extra functionality. We often integrate services such as: e-commerce, mailing list, events, reservations, analytics, and more.
We have worked with numerous winery e-commerce platforms. We’ll ensure that your online boutique offers smooth and pleasant shopping, club, and mailing-list experiences.
It’s important that your website can grow with you and your business needs over time.
We provide WordPress training, so you can log in and update text and images, add pages, and more.
If you need assistance in the future, we’re available to help with content management and maintenance for members of our Support program.

“How well do you know the wine business?” Wine-industry e-commerce entails a different set of challenges than standard online retail.

For small boutique wineries working with limited budgets, our exclusive Vin Website Builder provides a crisp, professional online presence that integrates the best winery e-commerce vendors for $5,000.
Not necessarily, you are empowered to make updates on the website. We use WordPress, the world’s most popular publishing system, so you have control over your site. It’s simple-to-use, flexible, and continually updated for security and features. Vin teaches clients how to login and use their website. So you can make your own updates, on your own schedule.
In the days and months after launch, some clients realize they need extra functionality developed. At Vin we believe websites are a process that evolves over time, and we want to see our clients succeed. We’re available for maintenance, updates, and development on retainer. There’s also a vast ecosystem of WordPress resources and numerous web developers who can help.
