Background

The Clyde May’s Whiskey brand had a basic WordPress website and a fine tasting whiskey, so we offered to help them improve on their marketing. The budget was very, very, very, very limited so the original plan was to only create a desktop version of the site. Of course, plans change and scopes creep, and at the eleventh hour (or maybe even a little more than that), it was decided that a mobile phone view of the site should be added.

The Project

The site is a single-page scrolling site and contains all the basics:

  • An honor-system age gate for the under-21 viewers, shown once per session
  • Stories about Clyde’s moonshine and the production process
  • Recipes from bartenders displayed in an infinite scroll fashion
  • News articles, quotes, and awards won
  • A map showing locations to purchase a bottle
  • Newsletter signup form that adds submitters to a mailchimp list
  • A contact form

The CMS allowed the administrator to modify:

  • images in the scrolling carousel at the top of the page
  • recipes and drink images
  • awards
  • news articles
  • locations viewed in the zip code search
