Proud to present the new website design for the beautiful charter yacht 130' Westport Arioso.

Motoryacht Arioso is a 130' (39m) Westport available for charter. Arioso came to us looking to design and build a website that was easy to use, image oriented, and that would provide potential guests, as well as other charter agents, with a flair for what a luxury vacation on board would be like.

Arioso has a very special crew that truly embodies the high level of service and attention that private charters are all about and their feedback was paramount to the design of the site. It was after hearing from them that we developed 3 key sections covering some of the aspects that guests are most interested in: Activities, Relaxation and Cuisine.

The Arioso website design also features traditional sections such as specifications, photo and video galleries, online brochure and full crew page.

The Arioso blog is perhaps one of our favorite areas of the site as the crew have been keen to contribute to this unique and very fun space. From the Diaries of a Stewardess, where the chief stew narrates a day in her life and how she comes up with lots of special touches for the guests, to the chef’s delicious recipes, to the captain’s suggested itineraries, and finally the amazing yacht photography by engineer Leon, a visit to this blog is sure to leave you daydreaming and wishing you were onboard.

We are extremely grateful to all the crew, and to Lara Jo Lewis-Houghting at Churchill Yacht Partners who coordinated the project. Their motivation, insights, contributions and perfect organization were structural to the website’s success. You can visit the site at: www.yachtarioso.com

Website redesign for Crown Bay Marina in Saint Thomas provides a fun and user-friendly online experience.

Crown Bay Marina is a fabulous Marina in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, whose website needed a redesign that would truly represent their brand and the high level of service they are able to offer their guests, without forgetting to include a light-hearted Caribbean feel to connect with the mood of travelers and yachties in the industry.

During the preliminary content consultation phase, we helped Crown Bay Marina (through their management team at Marina Management Services) come up with a clear structure that would provide an easy and intuitive navigation through the site. Once we moved into the design phase, we helped build a new image and brand for the marina that will help strengthen their presence in the area.

Among the cool features of the new Crown Bay site:

• Excellent and clean design with a Caribbean feel
• Custom mini-banner ads to promote different vendors and tenants within the marina and direct traffic to specific sections within the site.
• Blog feed on the home page to provide bits of the latest news right from the start.
• Facebook widget with latest posts right on the home page.
• Flickr photo gallery feeding directly from Flickr photostream for latest image updates.
• Client managed blog within the site
• Contact forms and email capture for email  subscriptions.
• Secure reservations form.
• Connections to several social media outlets that we recommended to improve overall web presence.

Yachting industry website design for glass expert “AvMar Marine Glass” shows beauty and technology.

With a great new logo on display, AvMar decided to push forward with their marketing and came to us with the challenge of having the brand new website launched for the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. With a short time available before the big day, the design and development were streamlined and the site was ready to be admired the morning the event opened.

The site’s navigation is easy and clear, the look is marine with a flair of high tech yachting, and the site features a photo gallery with project images as well as a client-managed blog where they will be able to post news from project updates, to testimonials and even news about vendor partnerships. The program included the creation of a Facebook page so AvMar’s web presence is growing day by day.
