Concept identity

Large type, label-inspired blocks and a warm hop-green palette create a confident identity. The design uses the rhythm of packaging without turning essential information into tiny decorative text.

01 / The starting point

A website with
a clear job to do.

The imagined brief

imagines an independent brewery with a public-facing taproom. Adult visitors may arrive to explore the beers, plan a visit or learn about the brewing approach. The website needs to express a strong identity while keeping product information and practical taproom details easy to find.

The customer challenge

Brewery sites can mix brand storytelling, product browsing and events into one dense feed. This concept separates the main tasks and uses a consistent visual language to connect them.

02 / The design direction

Character in
the details.

The bold composition, colour palette and type direction give its visual identity. These choices support the way a customer explores the business.

DECISION 01

Make the range comparable

Beer pages follow a consistent information order, with space for style and actual product details. Distinctive visual identities can coexist with a predictable reading experience.

DECISION 02

Treat the taproom as a destination

The visiting page holds current practical information and the relevant event programme. It should answer planning questions directly instead of relying on scattered social updates.

DECISION 03

Explain the brewing approach

A concise story connects process choices with the range. Specific, attributable detail makes the content more useful than generic claims about passion or perfection.

03 / In your hand

Considered for
a smaller screen.

Bold headings scale to fit the viewport without clipping. Taproom details and event dates stay as readable text, while beer artwork remains a supporting visual.

Sample website copy

Get to know the range

Each beer has its own character. Explore the styles and the notes behind them, then find the practical information you need if you are planning a visit to the taproom.

04 / The page plan

A place for every
useful detail.

This proposed five-page structure follows the customer’s questions. Each page has a distinct purpose, with clear routes between discovering the business, understanding the offer and making contact.

Home

Introduce the brewery and its main visitor routes.

The beers

Present the range with clear product information.

The brewery

Explain the approach and background.

Taproom

Bring visiting details into one place.

What’s on

Present current events with clear dates and context.

05 / Content & discovery

Useful to people.
Clear to search.

Product, brewery and taproom pages address distinct topics. Event content needs clear dates and maintenance; transactional features would follow the real business’s age and fulfilment requirements.

Proposed content topics for this imagined business, rather than measured search volumes or ranking claims.

Why separate brewery and taproom pages?

Learning about the product and planning a visit involve different questions. Separate destinations make both easier while allowing relevant links between them.

How should events remain useful over time?

Use dated event pages with a clear current or past status. An old announcement should not look like a live invitation simply because it remains accessible.
