Local Pub Website Design
Karroësel is a cozy local pub in the heart of Hilversum with a distinctive character, specializing in craft beers and a friendly atmosphere. When they approached me for a website redesign, they needed a digital presence that would capture their unique ambiance while providing practical information to patrons.
The Challenge
Create an authentic website that reflects the warm, rustic atmosphere of this neighborhood pub while keeping it simple and functional. The site needed to communicate the pub’s personality and provide essential information like opening hours and location without overcomplicating the user experience.
The Solution
I developed a dark-themed, image-rich website that captures the pub’s atmosphere through carefully selected photography highlighting their interior, drinks, and ambiance. The design uses a minimalist layout with a focus on rich visuals that convey the experience of being in the pub.
The content structure prioritizes storytelling and practical information, with easy access to opening hours, location details, and a glimpse into the pub’s offerings. Simple navigation ensures visitors can quickly find what they need without unnecessary complexity.
The Results
- Authentic representation of the pub’s unique character
- Improved visibility for local customers searching for pubs in Hilversum
- Clear communication of essential information like location and hours
- A digital extension of their physical space that maintains their brand identity
The website successfully balances simplicity with personality, giving potential customers a genuine preview of what to expect when visiting Karroësel.
