At Boylen, we understand that a property’s website is a vital extension of its brand and identity. For Manoah House, it was crucial to create a website that captured the elegance and warmth of the property while providing a user-friendly and engaging experience for potential guests. We worked closely with the owners to design a site that not only reflects the unique character of Manoah House but also ensures seamless navigation and easy access to all essential information for their visitors.
Elegant. Calming. Luxe. Beautiful. Cool tones, yet warm winter features. There are so many words you can use to describe Manoah House and the design of its new luxury website. The user experience is perfect; the site provides all the information you need – and nothing more.
Branding features include: horizontal scrolling photo galleries, bold heading fonts, an understated luxe aesthetic, and clear calls to action in custom-designed buttons. One of the subtle design features is that the tab drop downs contain a plus symbol in what appears to be a hand-drawn circle. It mimics the “O” in the Manoah House logo, which is solid and uneven.
This is reinforced by the hand-drawn map of the property. It’s not just authentic, it’s fun. A Google Map could have been used, but that brings us back to the real world. The hand-drawn map, however, takes us to a time when the pace of life was slower and digital didn’t intrude into luxury vacation properties.
The property’s owners provided our web designers with wonderful photography, which goes a long way to crafting the very best websites. The imagery draws strongly on the high-quality art that adorns the walls and the exceptional fixtures and furnishings.
Back to the ‘serious’ stuff, here are some more important features contained in the website’s functionality: A prominent Stay With Us button remains ‘stuck’ to the top of the page so that people can book from any point in the site. This is convenient for people browsing the site. It also maximizes the chance of a booking.
Seamless navigation reflects the uncluttered design. There are just three headings: About, Stay, and Contact. Clickable phone numbers ensure people don’t have to work to make contact. It’s all so simple. Everything has been thought of – which reflects that attention to detail at the property itself. The custom WordPress web design has been created in WordPress and links through to Airbnb for bookings.
Manoah House means rest, and this is what the website exudes. Go on, you know you want to book it!
